Is Kirishima a red flag? Then I'll remind you this whole world they live in is the fckn red flag. But does that mean i agree with him? Nah. But if you know how the real Yakuza world is, even Kirishima is considered tame. He born a bit different than the others, he got antisocial tendency and i guess pain was his outlet to feel some sort of thrill to keep living because he can't understand basic emotions that other people are experiencing, and sex for that matter. He grows in a world where women seen as commodity, tools and subpar humans, it's not realistic if he stay chaste, he learned that just the way it is. He was unhinged at first, unpredictable and volatile, but the more we see his world, his past, we kinda see why he is what he is now. Actually it's kinda surprised me that he was a bit reckless to somewhat save a girl he used to sleep with, some people in his line would not give two fcks, but he did and he mentioned it more than once, so he do to some level care for his interpersonal relationships. He's not a full blown antisocial then.
Meanwhile Shouma and Yoshino eh? He is devoted to her that's for sure, but i don't think it's romantic. It's like he considers her as a sister but also he owes her, he's protective about her but like siblings have no qualms to roast or ear pull the other if need be. Their relationship is rather complex, but they're comfortable with each other the trust each other no question asked, after all they grew up together. If you had a family or a friend you really love, and you think their partners doesn't deserve them, you kinda hate they're partners for it. I think that's what Shouma is feeling, however he is intense, after all he lives in a rough violent world.
Now all in all, the anomaly here is actually Yoshino, in this sort of world. We readers see her as the most normal in the story, but given the circumstances she's actually the odd one. Not many people, if there's any i wouldn't know, who live in this kind of world could turned out like Yoshino. She's straightforward, intact common sense, kind, firm and gentle at the same time. I love her, we need more people like her. I like that she wasn't super strong or good at fighting, but mind you her mental strength is tantamount, she had her moments of weakness, but that doesn't hold her back and instead push her forward even more. I'm in love
