Crunchyroll continues to grow its exclusive anime portfolio with the mobile debut of Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town. As with their previous releases, this title will be available only through their subscription service during the Ani-May celebration.

For international audiences unfamiliar with Crayon Shin-Chan, it's a beloved Japanese manga series similar to Doraemon. The story follows the mischievous escapades of young Shinnosuke Nohara and his circle of family and friends.

Shiro and the Coal Town not only features familiar characters from the franchise but also pays homage to the PlayStation classic My Summer Vacation. While this influential life simulation only recently became available globally, its distinctive style remains instantly recognizable.

Even without prior knowledge of the series or nostalgia for Boku No Natsuyasumi (the Japanese title of My Summer Vacation), players can enjoy diverse activities. Experience Shin Chan's rural adventures in Akita through various minigames including fishing and gardening while causing his signature mayhem.

Beyond the beautifully rendered countryside lies the mystical Coal Town, offering a more fantastical dimension to your summer experience. This unique blend makes for an engaging life simulation with rich content.
