Yakuza Fiance

So...I've watched 8 episodes of this one and I will likely finish it: Yakuza Fiancé. But...I seriously don't understand why/how people like the titular couple together. He's, like, a psychopath killer guy who sleeps around.

Ok, so, Yoshino (the girl) is from a crime family in one city. Her grandfather runs it. Kirishima is from a crime family in another city. They are both in high school, last year, I think. She is promised to him in marriage by her grandfather as some part of a deal between families. Kinda. It doesn't really seem like the grandfather thinks they'll actually get married some day. But, either way, off she goes to live with the dude's family to get to know him. 

She doesn't like him. He, for his part, acts like an absolute insane serial killer kinda guy and is awful to her. But when she declares that she's sold a kidney for money & wants nothing to do with him, suddenly he "loves" her and wants her to be his. While still sleeping with random other girls. 

Yoshino, so far, has spent the whole show professing how she has no love for him. Which only seems to make him want her more. And they're both doing crazy yakuza stuff and stirring pots and intrigue, etc. The other guy (Shoma) is from Yoshino's gang and is (maybe) a corner of a love triangle, though maybe not because they treat each other like brother and sister.

Overall, I'd say I am enjoying the show, but I'm kinda annoyed. He needs to be drop-kicked. And I see stuff all over FB and Insta and wherever fawning all over him and his devotion to Yoshino. Are you freaking kidding me? He's awful. 

I'd rather she wind up with Shoma or, hello, no one at all, because she's capable.

So, anyway, I do think I'll finish this, but I don't think I'd say that I love it. I'm old and annoyed.
