Crunchyroll is gearing up to expand its catalog with an exciting new exclusive release for Ani-May: Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town. This title will be available exclusively on mobile devices through Crunchyroll's subscription service, adding to their impressive lineup of anime-based releases.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Crayon Shin-Chan follows the daily adventures of Shinnosuke Nohara, a mischievous young boy, along with his family and friends. It's a beloved manga in Japan, though it might not be as well-known globally.

Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town not only brings Shinnosuke and his friends to life but also serves as a spiritual successor to the cult classic My Summer Vacation, originally released on the PlayStation One. This life simulation game, which recently saw a Western release, is fondly remembered by many.

SummertimeEven if you're not a fan of the series or nostalgic for Boku No Natsuyasumi (as My Summer Vacation is known in Japan), Shiro and the Coal Town offers a delightful experience. Players will immerse themselves in the daily life of Shin Chan as he explores the picturesque countryside of Akita, engaging in various activities and minigames such as fishing and gardening.

For those seeking more adventure, the mysterious Coal Town adds a fantastical twist to the summer vacation theme. With its beautifully rendered environments, the game presents a compelling addition to the life simulation genre, offering plenty of activities and sights to explore.
