Kirishima Miyama/Relationships

OverviewPlot**Relationships**Gallery

#### Gaku Miyama

Even though Gaku is his adopted grandfather he is technically his great uncle. Gaku and Kirishima don't interact much in the story, although it is shown that Kirishima has been under his care since he was little. It is mentioned a few times of Gaku's regiment punishment towards Kirishima when he would break the rules. After looking at old photos, Yoshino even mentions that Kirishima greatly physically resembles younger Gaku (before he had his scar). Gaku is later revealed that he usually gives Kirishima an amount of money monthly to survive therefore not really taking care of him, and Kirishima has to learn his own way of being independent.

Kirishima often showed signs that highly resembled Gaku's manner, like having the same laugh, both are good in fighting, both cannot drink sake and many people thought Kirishima is just Gaku but younger, especially if Kirishima gelled his hair backwards.

#### Yoshino Somei

Yoshino is Kirishima's fiancé. With both of them only tied together by their family's agreement of an arranged marriage. In their first meeting, Kirishima was elated to finally meet Yoshino and expressed that he was thankful to have personally met Yoshino regardless if she stays in Tokyo or not. However, after being disappointed by Yoshino's "tame" personality, Kirishima found their engagement a mistake and even suggested that Yoshino would be more useful to him as a prostitute. All in an effort to force Yoshino to go back to Osaka.

However, this would lead to Yoshino to take dubious advice from her grandfather and would later sell "a kidney" for 4 million yen, in an effort to challenge Kirishima and prove to him that she's not coming back to Osaka regardless of what he would do. These actions, along with her threatening words towards a few bullies, would be the spark to Kirishima's obsession towards Yoshino.

After this encounter, Kirishima becomes obsessed with Yoshino, going as far as injuring others and stalking her. Yoshino seems to be the only woman that he also genuinely cares about, although his actions towards her can sometimes be confusing. He is shown to become extremely jealous of her relationship with her childhood friend, Shouma, even though he himself sleeps with other women consistently. Admittedly, Yoshino also appears to be the first legitimate friend (female friend in particular) that Kirishima has ever had, therefore, he even likes doing mundane tasks with her.

It is shown that Yoshino eventually learns his behavior over the series despite his complicated personality, and later takes advantage of them.

#### Renji Somei

Renji and Kirishima have an interesting dynamic that is unfolding within the manga. Initially Renji was just in favor of his granddaughter Yoshino marrying Kirishima. However, Kirishima seems to keep in contact with Renji giving him updates on Yoshino's well being (unbeknownst to her), and Renji wants Kirishima to behave in a stalker-ish attitude while caring for her.

#### Aoi Tachibana

Tachibana is Kirishima's collegue. He appears to be similar in age to Hotei. Tachibana usually enforces the curfew rule and will strike Kirishima when he breaks it. Tachibana also doesn't understand Kirishima's love for Yoshino, only seeing her as an arrogant, selfish, spoiled brat. Tachibana also does not tolerate Kirishima's masochistic behavior and stated that he is annoyed or disturbed by it.

#### Shouma Toriashi

Shouma and Kirishima seems to dislike each other since they both care about Yoshino in similar ways. Shouma thinks that Kirishima is a psychopath and Kirishima sees Shouma as a 'swine'. In a side story, Kirishima also admits that he is jealous of Yoshino and Shouma's relationship. Kirishima will not ever kill or attack Shouma despite disliking him, due to him being part of her family. Over the course of the series, their hatred for each other only continues to grow, as Shouma gets more irritated by him constantly annoying if not negotiating him for a reply. Eventually a deadly fight happens due to Kirishima taunting Shouma by using his dating status with Yoshino as a way to trigger him. Kirishima also would get internally frustrated or angered if any kind of attention from Yoshino were to be given to Shouma.

#### Tsubaki Akashigata

Kirishima has zero to no reluctance to tell Tsubaki about how Yoshino is to him. They tried to get along, only for Tsubaki to despise him in reality. Kirishima figured out that Yoshino had asked Tsubaki for help in selling her kidney, and he found out that Tsubaki lied to Yoshino about the operation and gave away 1500 milliliters of Yoshino’s blood instead of actually selling Yoshino’s kidney. Tsubaki has since looked down on Kirishima for making Yoshino try selling her kidney. She also thinks of Kirishima as childish and immature and generally does not like him at all. Tsubaki despises him, and thinks of him to be somewhat predictable, as she calls his mind is easy to read. She also knew that Kirishima purposely fought Shouma in order to hide the fact that Renji has previously beaten him up, and to make Shouma the bigger culprit.

### Non-Familial

#### Shiota Nao

Nao is a model and Kirishima's summer-fling. They went to the same middle school. They've "dated" while Nao came to Japan during her summer vacation (chapter 13). In chapter 16.1 Kirishima stated that he never had a girlfriend and rather that all the girls he were "dating" were patrons. In chapter 16.2 Kishirima revealed that he only went out with her to expand his network of contacts and she only approached him because he is a yakuza, a contact she could use to threaten others.

#### Kento Ozu

Kirishima and Ozu possibly has a vague connection with each other, other than Shiota Nao was their ex-girlfriend. Kirishima also revealed to Yoshino that Ozu barely knows her other than her name. According to him, Ozu has harassed Kirishima for information before.

#### Azami

It is possible that Azami travelled from Tokyo to Osaka just to find Kirishima. Azami uses Ozu to harass him, as Kirishima stated without mentioning the latter's name, rather he calls him as "Ozu's superior".

#### The "Mistresses"

Due to Kirishima being a playboy, he has numerous casual sexual encounters (with Nao and Ayano being the only ones named). He generally has no romantic feelings for any of them, but seems to have a amiable relationship with most of them overall. He regularly mentions his feeling for Yoshino to them, even during intercourse, to where they tell him that he is a garbage human being, and Yoshino should just dump him. Outside of their sexual relationship, the girls seem to act as informants for Kirishima giving him information about girls and news about the latest gossip surrounding them, it's possible that re repays the girls with protection from other groups and even allow some of them safe passage to get out of the city.
