Yoshino Somei

Yoshino Somei stands out with her flashy beauty that makes people stare.

She looks much older than she actually is and has a naturally curly hair, which she keeps long to manage the curls.

Yoshino does not usually wear makeup, because her features are already very striking.

She is tall and has a great figure, often causing people to see her in a certain way.

At school, others sometimes say she looks like a hostess from Umeda, or call her flashy.

Her usual outfits look like those of women who work at night clubs, but she only wears them because her grandfather’s friend gave them to her for free.

Yoshino actually likes comfortable clothes, like jeans.

She tries not to wear high-soled shoes to avoid being taller than Kirishima Miyama.

People often mistake her age because of her appearance.

Yoshino is calm and careful most of the time, mostly because she grew up watching her wild grandfather as a warning.

At school, she acts quiet and blends in easily.

However, when she makes up her mind, she shows a courage and decisiveness that is not normal for a girl her age.

Yoshino does not hesitate to use harsh words when she is angry or threatened.

She values her pride and the way she lives; she says she would rather die than give up on these things.

Her grandfather, Renji Somei, says that although Yoshino acts like a normal girl, deep down she will always have the spirit of a yakuza family member.

People close to her have pointed out that she is very good at adapting and sometimes too fearless.

Yoshino can be both very tough and, at times, a bit careless about her own safety.

She grew up around rough men, so she is not easily scared, but she fears Kirishima Miyama because he is different from everyone she knows.

If she gets really upset, she has the odd habit of making a sound like "Meee!" like a goat.

Yoshino Somei is a third-year high school student born on April 2.

Her grandfather is the boss of the powerful Somei group in Osaka, part of the fourth generation Kirigaya group.

Yoshino was raised in her grandfather’s house mostly because her father died before she was born.

Her mother is very sick and couldn’t raise her, so Yoshino and her mother live in different places, but their relationship is good.

Yoshino doesn’t like hospitals and was never allowed to go to school alone; she always had someone drive her.

Despite being raised in underworld family, her grandfather taught her regular life skills, including money management.

She even does things like try to save on utilities and grow her own vegetables.

Yoshino has a driver’s license and is known to be a strong drinker.

Yoshino is not great at regular schoolwork.

However, she is very quick-witted and can find her way out of tricky situations.

She is strong-willed and is willing to go far to protect her own values.

Yoshino is good at adapting to new places and people, especially when under pressure.

Yoshino’s grandfather, Renji Somei, played a big part in raising her and teaching her both family rules and normal lifestyle habits.

Her mother is alive but due to illness could not raise Yoshino herself; still, they have a warm relationship.

Yoshino was engaged to Kirishima Miyama by her grandfather without her agreement.

She starts out being scared of Kirishima because he is more frightening than the usual yakuza types she knows, but she later decides to stay in Tokyo to take revenge on him.

Yoshino often spends time together with Kirishima Miyama, following the rules in the Miyama family home.

Forced Engagement and Move to Tokyo

But after hearing her grandfather’s advice, she changes her mind and makes a bold decision.
