The popular rom-com Mission: Yozakura Family has received a massive update regarding its future. After stealing the hearts of the audience, the anime has disclosed that it will be returning with a second season.
The announcement was made on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Mission: Yozakura Family. This confirms that the new season is in production, and more information related to it will be released in the near future.
Is Mission: Yozakura Family Inspired By This Early 2000s Anime Classic?
Bearing immense similarities to Reborn!, Mission: Yozakura Family may be inspired by the 2000s action comedy classic.
Expectations For Mission: Yozakura Family Season 2
Mission: Yozakura Family started airing on April 27, 2024. The first season of the anime was divided into two cours, with the second reaching its conclusion on October 6, 2024. Both cours were very well received by the viewers, so it's hardly surprising that the anime was immediately renewed for a second season.
The first season of the anime had 27 episodes. Whether the second season will follow the same route or reduce the number remains to be seen. Most studios tend to do a shorter run, but SILVER LINK. Might decide to stick with the same pattern and announce another 20+ episode season.
Some viewers did raise concerns over the pacing of the anime. They were not happy with the anime overlooking some of the chapters. Whether this will be fixed in the second season of the anime remains to be seen.
Possible Cast and Staff Changes
Both Are Likely To Remain Unchanged
Given the reception for the first season, it is unlikely that there will be too many changes to both the staff and cast. The staff for the first season of Mission: Yozakura Family is as follows:
- Director and Screenplay: Mirai Minato (BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya)
- Character Designer: Mizuki Takahashi (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation)
- Music: Kōji Fujimoto, Osamu Sasaki (Ragna Crimson, The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!)
When it comes to the cast, most of the voice actors will likely reprise their roles for the second season.
Mission: Yozakura Family anime is based on the manga of the same name by Hitsuji Gondaira. It has been serializing in the Weekly Shonen Jump since August 2019. So far, the manga has released 26 volumes, and the number is likely to increase. In terms of sales, Mission: Yozakura Family has sold 1.5 million copies, which is an underwhelming number. However, the first season of the anime should provide a boost, and the sales should increase.
Mission: Yozakura Family is available to stream on Hulu.
