Back then, I wasn’t sure whether I should start talking about Mission: Yozakura Family on this blog, since it was a new manga.

When I say a new manga, I mean it has only had two books coming out back then. And for all we know, it will only have three books at most if the readership starts to dwindle going forward.

If you’re familiar with Shonen Jump, you know that Shonen Jump tends to axe the manga if the readership for the manga is going down each week.

It’s because of this reason that I was a bit skeptical about featuring a manga that can get axed at any given moment.

But thankfully, that was never the case at all for this manga.

Not only is the manga getting an anime adaptation.

And it’s not just one season, and there’s just about it, either.

It even got a second season, too.

Since I don’t watch the anime version, I won’t be surprised that we already have another season in tow as we speak.

But the most important thing of all? The manga has safely concluded with such a beautiful ending to wrap things up.

Don’t worry about me spoiling how the manga truly ends, since that’s not what this post is all about.

What Mission: Yozakura Family is all about

Here’s the book description that I got from MANGA Plus.

Taiyo Asano is a super shy high school student, and the only person he can talk to is his childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura. It turns out that Mutsumi is the daughter of the ultimate spy family! Even worse, Mutsumi is being harassed by her overprotective, nightmare of a brother, Kyoichiro. What drastic steps will Taiyo have to take to save Mutsumi?! A spy family comedy – the mission begins!

What got me into the manga in the first place

What can I say? I have a penchant for anime, manga, and light novels where the main character is a spy or someone in the special forces.

It’s because of this reason that drew me to Mission: Yozakura Family.

Of course, that’s not the only criterion when it comes to what manga and light novels I’ll be featuring on this blog. If you’re curious about the kind of manga and light novels that I’m more likely to recommend on this blog, you can read my blog post right here.

What makes Mission: Yozakura Family worth reading

At first glance, you may think this manga is just another manga similar to SPY x FAMILY. And if you do read SPY x FAMILY, you will say that this manga isn’t as good as SPY x FAMILY.

In fact, some of you may find that the manga itself isn’t as entertaining as SPY x FAMILY.

If the manga isn’t as good as SPY x FAMILY, then why am I recommending you to give Mission: Yozakura Family a try?

My reason for that is simple: the manga has the same vibe as Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

With how the story in this manga flows, the comedic scenes, and the characters that have a distinctive personality. Doesn’t it look similar to Katekyo Hitman Reborn! in many ways?

And let’s not forget how the story takes such a very sharp turn as the stakes are getting higher.

That is so Katekyo Hitman Reborn! if you ask me.

Of course, the comedic situation is never absent in this manga, no matter how dire the situations are.

It’s no wonder that the manga reminds me a lot of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! manga in so many ways.

What I didn’t expect when I read this manga

The fact that the manga has a similar vibe to Katekyo Hitman Reborn! does catch me by surprise.

And the fact that I’m so looking forward to reading this manga every single week is another thing that I don’t expect, too.

For the most part, I don’t really care much about all the manga that I read that will eventually get axed at some point.

But for Mission: Yozakura Family, I’m hoping that the manga will keep going just like the rest of the series that we have on Shonen Jump.

And thankfully, it does.

Sure, it may not be long-running like One Piece.

But at the very least, I’m glad that it doesn’t end prematurely like the rest of the manga that comes before it.

Who should read this manga?

If you’re reading this manga because you’re expecting it to be similar to SPY x FAMILY, then you may feel disappointed with this manga.

But if you enjoy reading Katekyo Hitman Reborn! manga, then you’re more likely to find this manga an interesting read.

Sure, the manga is about a spy family, which is what makes Mission: Yozakura Family overlap with SPY x FAMILY. But I find that the manga is a lot closer to Katekyo Hitman Reborn! style than SPY x FAMILY.

But what if you have never read any of the manga I’ve mentioned before?

Should you give this manga a try?

Well, of course, you should if you love action-comedy manga.
