The hour-long special will tell the manga's Osaka story.
The anime will premiere on October 7 on Tokyo MX at 11:00 p.m. JST, then on BS11 at 12:00 p.m. JST (effectively 12:00 a.m. JST on October 8), and will air on AT-X starting on October 9.

Anime stars:

Seven Seas is releasing the manga in English and describes the story:
Yoshino grows up as the yakuza princess of the Osaka Somei crime family. Everyone leaves her alone because of her sharp eyes and mob connections. But when her grandfather signs a truce with the Tokyo-based Miyama crime family, she proposes to the Miyama leader's grandson, Kirishima. At first, Kirishima seems like a gentle Karenble—but when his dark side is revealed, he proves to be more unsettling than any gangster Yoshino has ever met. This engagement is sure to be a wild ride for the tough yakuza princess and her twisted yakuza prince!
Konishi (Haru's Curse) launched the ongoing series in Afternoon in 2017. The manga won the grand prize at the fourth Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards in 2018.
