Possible Plot Points for Mission: Yozakura Family Episode 1

Despite the lack of released episodes, it is challenging to predict the pacing of the anime adaptation. However, if Mission: Yozakura Family stays true to Hitsuji Gondaira’s manga, the first episode, titled “The Cherry Blossom Ring,”will most likely cover the introductory chapter. This may also include the introduction of the Yozakura family, who are revealed to be a skilled spy family.

In the anime, Taiyo Asano is portrayed as a timid high school student who relies solely on his childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura, for companionship and communication. As the story unfolds, Taiyo discovers that Mutsumi is actually the daughter of a well-known spy family.

Upon discovering that Mutsumi is being harassed by her overly protective brother, Kyoichiro, Asano sets out to showcase the budding chemistry between Mutsumi and Taiyo in the episode, while also featuring the other members of the Yozakura family.

Moreover, viewers can anticipate the episode to explore Taiyo’s traumatic history and reveal the reasons behind his strong reliance and trust in Mutsumi.

The Yozakura family has announced that the release date for their mission will be April 2024.
