The first cour of Mission: Yozakura Family is behind us, and the new season brings with it deeper mysteries for all its characters. As we dive into this new arc, we’re meeting new characters and seeing old friends in a new light.
First up, refresh your memory of the spring season with a 16-minute retrospective video. Narrated by lovestruck assassin maid Ayaka Kirisaki (voiced by Mariya Ise), the video recaps everything that’s happened so far in the series:
Next, meet Ai! This wolf-like girl is the youngest member of the Nijibana, wielding powers similar to the Yozakura family’s. She will be voiced by Misaki Kuno (Momo Kawamoto in March comes in like a lion).
We also have one more new character image today, albeit for someone we’ve already met! Check out baby brother Nanao Yozakura in his non-beefed-up form:
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.
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!
