Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga and first episode description: In this critically acclaimed crime romance, a yakuza niece is sent from Osaka to marry the nephew of a rival family in Tokyo! Yoshino grew up as the sheltered yakuza princess of the largest crime family in Osaka, the Somei. Because of her miserable face and dangerous family, no man has ever approached her. When her grandfather signed a truce with the Tokyo-based Miyama crime family, he asked her to be the truce bride for leader Miyama’s nephew! Kirishima Miyama is popular, charming, and seemingly completely normal. But behind his smile lies a violent sadist who craves her domination even more when she impresses him with her moxie! Even though she knew how bad the yakuza could be, she was still stunned by Miyama’s brutality. She can’t refuse him with the East-West peace treaty in effect…so she resolves to play soccer instead!
