About Mission: Yozakura Family
Mission: Yozakura Family, known in Japan as Yozakura-san Chi no Daisakusen, is a 2024 action-comedy anime adapted from Hitsuji Gondaira's hit shonen manga. Animated by Silver Link and broadcast on TBS and its affiliate stations, the series follows Taiyo Asano, a shy high schooler who lost his own family in a car crash and clings to his lone surviving friendship with his cheerful childhood companion, Mutsumi Yozakura. Taiyo's quiet life is upended when he discovers that the Yozakuras are no ordinary household but a sprawling clan of elite spies.
The biggest obstacle to Taiyo's happiness is Mutsumi's wildly overprotective older brother, Kyoichiro, a fearsomely powerful spy whose sister complex knows no bounds. To shield Taiyo from Kyoichiro's lethal jealousy, the only solution is the most surprising one of all: Taiyo marries into the family, becoming a Yozakura himself. Now bound to the clan by blood and paperwork alike, he undergoes spy training and even receives a Yozakura blood transfusion that awakens superhuman abilities.
Across its first season of twenty-seven episodes, the show balances slapstick family comedy with genuine espionage action, as Taiyo learns to fight beside his eccentric new in-laws and protect the person he loves most. Warm, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt about found family and second chances, Mission: Yozakura Family became one of the standout shonen adaptations of 2024, carried by an energetic seiyu cast and Silver Link's bright, kinetic animation.
