Although Yakuza stories have been a major part of comedy anime shows in recent years, this is not because the Yakuza lifestyle is one of excitement and action. Instead, manga and anime creators have taken the toughest Japanese mob members and put them in domestic settings, making light of their lifestyle.
This can be seen in the anime “Hinamatsuri,” in which a Yakuza member looks after a girl from the future who’s a psychic, as well as in “The Way of the Househusband,” an ex-Yakuza boss who looks after his home while his wife works.
Check out the upcoming anime “The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting” if you want a more heartfelt take on the trope. Like the previous examples, this show is about a rough-and-tumble Yakuza member that gets softened by domestic responsibilities. The emphasis on absurdity and comedy is much less pronounced than in its genre peers. As the release date of the anime approaches, it might just be an exciting spin on a classic comedy premise.
Now, let’s dig into what we know so far about “The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting.”

Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting Plot
Tooru Kirishima is what you’d expect a high-ranking Yakuza member to be when we first meet him. Kirishima’s tendency for violence and bloodshed has earned him a reputation and the moniker “The Demon of Sakuragi.” In fact, his violent nature is so out of control that even his superiors think it is time to rein him in. Thus, Kirishima’s boss assigned him an important task – to take care of his daughter.
As you might imagine, Kirishima is more used to brawls and beatdowns than babysitting. He is, however, a loyal Yakuza henchman who does his utmost to protect and care for Yaeka. Despite their far from perfect relationship, as the series progresses, the two will develop an affinity for each other.
In “The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting,” we will learn whether Kirishima can fully commit to his new life as a super nanny.
Many fans are eagerly anticipating this new and exciting series. In fact, many have expressed their eagerness to see the episodes. The voice actors are doing their best while at the same time enjoying the character vibes.
In fact, anime series about father-daughter relationships or babysitting are rare, so fans are delighted to be able to experience such a series. Looking forward to it, fans are excited to see those shiny eyes and nervous looks of Yaeka and Kirishima, respectively.
