Crunchyroll’s collection of exclusive anime-inspired titles grows with the mobile debut of Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town. Available only through their subscription service, this release joins the exciting Ani-May lineup.
For those unfamiliar, what is Crayon Shin-Chan? Much like Doraemon, it’s a beloved Japanese manga icon, lesser-known globally. It follows the daily escapades of Shinnosuke Nohara, his family, and friends.
Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town brings back Shinnosuke and familiar faces while acting as a spiritual successor to the cult classic My Summer Vacation from the PlayStation One. This innovative life sim, recently introduced to Western audiences, will spark instant recognition for some.
Summer Adventures
Even if you’re not a fan of the series or nostalgic for Boku No Natsuyasumi (as My Summer Vacation is known), Shiro and the Coal Town delivers plenty of engaging features. Step into Shin Chan’s shoes to explore Akita’s countryside, diving into playful antics and minigames like fishing and gardening.
Beyond the beautifully crafted Japanese countryside, venture into the mysterious Coal Town for a fantastical twist on summer adventures. This vibrant life sim offers a wealth of activities, making it a standout in the genre.
More than just a game, it solidifies Crunchyroll’s reputation for bringing unique cult classics to mobile. Craving something even more out of the ordinary? Explore our list of the top 25 best RPGs for iOS and Android for immersive fantasy worlds.
