Taiyo Asano has a new ally in his life as a super-spy! As the first cour of Mission: Yozakura Family draws to a close and we prepare to head into summer, we’re meeting another of the Yozakura family’s unusual contacts.
Me-chan appears in this week’s episode. This silver-ranked spy is the director of the Library of the Dead, and her super-sensitive hearing is both an asset and a potential hazard. She will be voiced by Saori Onishi (Amaryllis in Dr. STONE NEW WORLD).
The original Mission: Yozakura Family manga by Hitsuji Gondaira is serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump manga magazine, and an English language version is also available from Viz Media. Mirai Minato writes and directs the TV anime adaptation at animation studio SILVER LINK., while Mizuki Takahashi provides the character designs and chief animation direction and Koji Fujimoto and Osamu Sasaki of Sus4 Inc. provide the music. The series is currently streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
Viz media describes Mission: Yozakura Family:
Taiyo Asano is a super-shy high school student and the only person he can talk to is his childhood friend Mutsumi Yozakura. However, Mutsumi comes from a line of master spies with amazing powers. Her oldest brother, Kyoichiro, is obsessed with Mutsumi and out to kill anyone who gets remotely near her—and his next target is Taiyo! The only way for Taiyo to save himself from Kyoichiro’s murderous clutches is to marry Mutsumi!
