Here you go.
You wanted a peek, right?
Oh, wow. She's cute.
I could see this chick obliterating my life.
And I wouldn't mind it in the slightest.
BEST KUSHIKATSU IN JAPAN
YOKOZUNA PUB
AIN'T NO PLACE FOR LOSERS HERE
We need to talk, Gramps!
What the hell is this crap?
Let's see.
"A Huge Shakeup in the Yakuza World?"
Gotta say I'm one smokin' stud muffin
in the shot they decided to use.
The picture ain't the issue here!
Far from it, you moron!
It's the last part!
"Apparently, their grandchildren
have an intimate relationship,
and sources claim they're only getting closer.
"We highly suspect they'll announce
their engagement in the near future."
I'd better not be this mystery grandkid
who's getting hitched!
But what other grandkid could it be?
God damn it!
Okay, first off, this Miyama guy
or whatever is living in Tokyo
and I've never met him or his stinkin' family!
Who are these "sources" feeding all these lies?
I'm the source!
- Huh? - Look, Yoshino.
The fact is you're turning seventeen this year,
yet you've shown zero interest whatsoever in finding a boy.
But I ain't about to let my little girl be lonely,
so I found you a guy!
And, man, is this kid a heartthrob!
All you gotta do is picture a younger version of Gaku
and you'll have a pretty good idea
of what his grandson looks like.
He's the spitting image.
Did a double take when I saw him
You and Gaku Miyama have known each other
for a while then, haven't you?
I would never have proposed this otherwise.
He and I go back. Way back.
I wish you'd go back to minding your business,
'cause I ain't gettin' married!
Could you at least meet the guy
and see if you hit it off with him?
The only young men you bother to talk with
are all family, so you're on the right track to dying alone.
I would rather my grandpa
stay the hell out of my love life, thank you!
It's a cruel twist of fate
how you were blessed with my genes,.
then let that hotness go to waste by being so damn guarded.
You keep on sayin' I'm hot stuff, Gramps,
but it's Umeda night club hostess hot,
or divorced woman who has kids attached hot!
Who cares? That still counts!
So transfer your hot self to Tokyo for a bit!
You'll fit right in over there!
You're basically bilingual since you speak the Tokyo way!
It's all the same freaking language, Gramps,
and I don't even know this guy's full name
or what he looks like!
Kirishima Miyama's the grandson's name!
Okay. That name's either fake or yakuza.
Stupid. It's real.
He ain't no yakuza.
Right now, he's only a high schooler.
I'm tellin' you, go see for yourself in Tokyo.
Then I'll listen to every objection.
Really?
The first thing I noticed was, it's huge.
Welcome.
I appreciate you coming all this way.
Holy crap, he's gorgeous!
Must hear you look like Renji all the time.
It's so uncanny.
I do get that a lot.
They say if Gramps lost some wrinkles
and grew some boobs, we would be twins.
They're right on the money.
So, uh, anyway, enough about me.
Is Kirishima here?
Or did he step out for a second?
What? Haven't you realized?
He's standing right behind you.
I admit that worked much better than I thought it would.
Nice to finally meet you.
I'm Kirishima Miyama.
Are you serious?
I'm sorry if my surprise went a little bit too far.
The right moment just never came.
Timing is everything.
How 'bout I give you a personal tour
of the rest of the house?
Um, well. I mean!
What do you think, huh?
About what exactly?
Once we heard you were going to live with us here,
we remodeled this annex's tearoom just for you.
You did?
Figured you would prefer your own space,
and this is separated from the main house.
Sorry, but I have to say something.
Huh?
While I appreciate everything you've done, really!
The consideration is no joke.
I'm still on the fence about moving here.
I could decline and the remodel would be a waste of time.
Oh, right. That was my bad.
Of course you might decline us.
- I guess I got ahead of myself. - Huh?
There won't be any hard feelings if you decide
this whole arrangement is an unwelcome change.
No one would blame you.
I mean, you were pretty much forced into doing this.
We only just met today,
but, like, they want us to get engaged?
That's older than old-fashioned.
Yup. Incredibly accurate.
You just showing up surpassed all expectations I had.
Huh?
I'm happy that you at least came all this way to meet me
as opposed to flat-out saying no.
That's already more than I would've asked.
Thank you.
OREN PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL
How'd a simple "he doesn't seem all that bad"
turn into me moving and transferring schools?
I know it's my fault
for being the pushover in this situation,
but I also feel like I got suckered into coming!
Yoshino! Sorry for the wait.
It took a lot longer than I thought
it would to get our class schedules sorted out.
Are you good?
Oh, yeah! I'm great! First days are always fun!
I noticed you've got a few classes in fine arts.
I do. And you're taking
advanced math and science, right?
Which is awesome.
I was kind of sweating buckets
over getting accepted into such a high-level school
since I'm not very good when it comes to book stuff.
Unlike Mister Genius over here.
That is a not a nickname I hoped you'd start calling me.
If it's all the same,
let's just stick with Kirishima for now.
Didn't know there were names you hoped I'd call you someday.
I also didn't figure you would be the type
who always got rides to and from school.
Oh, I'm not.
I took the car today because of you,
but I usually opt to get here by train.
We can arrange daily ride for you
if you want them, though.
What? No. Trains are fine.
Cool.
Your first class is down this hallway here.
I'll come find you after school.
I can't believe he's a yakuza kid.
It's such a relief he's a nice, normal person.
Hey, red. You got a second?
Huh? Are you're talking to me?
Yeah.
Sorry, that just threw me for a second.
Other kids don't come up to me at school all that much.
Why?
It doesn't matter! So, what can I do for you?
Rumor has it Miyama was your ride to campus this morning.
He was?
Okay, so are the two of you related?
I mean, if you came all the way from Osaka.
Um, no.
I promise there aren't any blood ties.
I guess you could say that our families
are close with each other.
You guys aren't dating, are you?
Oh. No, no!
It's not like I'm his girlfriend or anything.
We're, um, just kinda sorta living together for now.
You what?
Quit rambling and wasting our time.
All we want is the tea.
Huh?
Whatever. Let's go.
Wait, what?
I'm catching every girl's eye that I pass.
- Yoshino. - Huh?
Do you see that smile?
Everything he does is so hot!
There a reason you're so distracted?
All the girls distracted by you keep distracting me.
You're popular, aren't you?
I wouldn't say that.
Apart from saying a casual "hi,"
