Review of The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting

A genuine hidden gem of Summer 2022, Yakuza's guide is a Slide of Life / Comedy which revolves around the story of a delinquent Yakuza member Kirishima looking after Yaeka, the daughter of the head of the family. I genuinely went into this anime not expecting too much from it, but upon watching the first few episodes, I was hooked. Its a story wholesome enough for viewers to go 'awww', has moments that were genuinely tear-jerking, and a strong male lead character with a really refreshing personality compared to many protagonists you see nowadays. I will admit the art style of this anime is nothingtoo special or unique but a rather standard anime with relatively lower budget. I honestly think its a show that could have been on par with spy x family if treated better production wise but I think the studios did well with the budget that they probably had.

I highly recommend this anime to anyone who loves slice of life shows or are looking for something with a little more substance then a usual slice of life. The interactions between all the characters (main leads and side characters) and watching how it progresses and changes is genuinely just heartwarming and enjoyable.
