                                                        Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari                                            StoryOn the surface, there isn't much to the narrative when you first glance at it. This was my initial impression to the narrative, but boy was I wrong since it has its own distinct depth. The plot isn't overly complicated, but it's a good combination of action and family love. I guarantee you won't be sorry if you watch it. Characters  Tooru KIRISHIMA This dude is a slice of the storm with a lemon garnish; if he existed in real life, trust me, he'd be getting marriage offers from every attractive women. Yaeka SAKURAGI Isn't she an angel? She's incredibly sweet, and it melts my heart when she worries about Tooru KIRISHIMA, whom she adores. Overall                               A lovely series that everybody can appreciate. The series will grab your heart with its tale and characters, and you will like it.

After nearly destroying a peace treaty, the feared Demon of the Sakuragi Clan, Kirishima, is given his most difficult task: babysitting the boss's daughter.  This is without a doubt one of the most wholesome of anime I have seen besides Spy x Family. The story starts off slow with its introduction to the characters and how Kirishima goes about the day taking care of Yaeka with little progression. However, what makes the show great is Kirishima's relationship with Yaeka. He is the big brother that she never had. You can tell that Kirishima sees a lot of himself in Yaeka with the little snippets of his backstory to where we see that he was living alone with his mother.  Really their interactions are just so heartwarming, especially because in most shows where you have a person forced to babysit a youngster, they do it begrudgingly. But here, I completely buy that Kirishima cares a great deal about Yaeka such as by trying to keep her from knowing that he had pulverized two criminals who were contemplating kidnapping the child. He was also the one who helped convince Yaeka to visit her comatose mother and to tell her to keep fighting.  The animation is nothing special but it works with the show's atmosphere.  The show is actually really funny mostly because of comedic sociopathy: poor Sugihara is often the one on the receiving end of Kirishima's wrath or he is screwed over in other ways. Besides episode 4 where the episode dips heavily into WTF territory, I have found the humor hitting more often than not.  But, like I had alluded to with the mother, there is a hint of pure emotion in the show. You grow to love the characters and feel sorrow for them. I'm sure that Yaeka's situation with her mother would be a trigger for anyone who had a mother or father who had some health issue and that they felt powerless to do anything to help them.  Overall, a great "feel-good show."

I really loved this anime because of its sweetness but the one thing I don't like about this is that the author did a bad job at representating the yakuza. Like no yakuza is forgiving like the one here and the yakuza in real life are way scarier and brutal that was the main problem for me. further,the episodes were sometimes very fast paced for some reason but yeah it's a slice of life so i will let it slide. The animation is absolutely amazing but doesn't suit yakuza vibe. Well in my opinion watxh this if u wanna relax but don't expect much comedy and brutality from it.
