The anime adaptation of Tsukiya’s The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting comedy manga revealed a new visual, the second trailer, additional cast and staff. It also previewed the opening song “To Tomorrow’s Heroes” (未来のヒーローたちへ) sung by Shō Takeyaki. The anime will premiere on July 7.
The series focuses on former soldier Kirishima Tooru, aka the Demon of Sakuragi, because of his no-holds-barred, and very bloody, approach to life. The head of the Sakuragi family is so concerned about Kirishima’s lack of restraint when dealing with enemies that, to tame his vicious nature, he orders Kirishima to become the babysitter to his young daughter, Yaeka. Kirishima knew the life of a yakuza was hard, but he didn’t know it involved playing jump-rope in the park and PTA meetings.
