According to Hulu’s official press release, the upcoming spy comedy anime, Mission: Yozakura Family, will air on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ worldwide. Readers can review the previously published images below:
With Mission: Yozakura Family heading to Disney+, the series will join other anime such as The Fable, GO! GO! Loser Ranger!, and Sand Land: Series for the upcoming Spring 2024 season. Mission: Yozakura Family also follows Ishura, Bleach, etc. in Disney’s growing anime catalog.
Some fans will naturally express disappointment at Disney’s acquisition of the series, with many feeling that previous animated films have proven inaccessible or poorly promoted. Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimakyo) – which placed second in Anime Corner’s Sci-Fi Anime of the Year award – is one of the most cited examples.
Mission: The Yozakura Family will be animated by Silver Link and adapted from the manga of the same name by Hitsuji Gondaira, currently published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. Readers can check out the latest anime trailer with the new opening song “Unmei-chan” by Ikimono-gakari. VIZ licensed the manga in English, describing it: 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 lineage of master spies with incredible powers. Her eldest brother, Kyoichiro, is obsessed with Mutsumi and is willing to kill anyone who comes near her—and his next target is Taiyo! The only way for Taiyo to save herself from Kyoichiro’s murderous clutches is to marry Mutsumi!
