About The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting#
The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting (also known as Kumichō Musume to Sewagakari) is a unique blend of comedy and crime-world dynamics. The story follows Kirishima Tooru, a high-ranking yakuza soldier known as “The Demon of Sakuragi” due to his brutal and unrestrained approach to combat. In an effort to tame his vicious nature, the head of the Sakuragi family assigns Kirishima a surprising new duty: becoming the babysitter for his young daughter, Yaeka.
This shift in responsibility takes Kirishima from the bloody battlefields of the underworld to the whimsical world of childhood, where he must navigate the challenges of jump-rope in the park and the stresses of PTA meetings. You can watch the anime on Prime Video to see this unlikely duo bond.
Is The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting Finished?#
If you are wondering if the anime provides a complete conclusion, it is important to remember that the series is an adaptation of a manga that began serialization in 2018. While the anime offers a cohesive experience, viewers who want to ensure they have seen the entire story arc and every detail of the characters’ development may find it necessary to continue with the source material.
To get the full story beyond the screen, we recommend you buy the manga.
Who is this anime for?#
This series is best suited for fans of the comedy genre who enjoy “fish-out-of-water” scenarios and heartwarming character growth. The primary appeal lies in the stark contrast between the gritty yakuza theme and the innocent, domestic life of a young child. If you enjoy seeing a “tough guy” softened by the innocence of a child, this is the perfect watch for you.
