Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari

Do you enjoy childcare?
Do you like wholesome and heartfelt moments?
Do you like shows that make you want to protect and care for others, as if you were a parent?
Last but not least, are you interested in reminiscing about your childhood days with your parents/nanny or any other parental figure?
Then this show is for you.

The show revolves around the Tooru and Yaeka duo, with Tooru in charge of babysitting Yaeka on the orders of the household's and Sakuragi Group's head, Kazuhiko. You can see how the duo clicked right away. Whenever Tooru does something sweet for Yaeka and vice versa, you go awwww, that's so sweet, ... and as a result you die from cuteness overload. You can literally see how both of them were vital to each other, practically inseparable, and aided each other's growth throughout the entire series. Tooru, formerly known as The Demon of the Sakuragi Group, literally mellowed out and learned to be more happy, enjoy life, control anger, and have other positive bearing as a result of babysitting Yaeka. Yaeka, on the other hand, was able to express herself more openly, learned to overcome her mother's traumatic accident, and made friends with people her age, which makes you as a viewer just cheer and be happy for her growth. But character development isn't the only thing the show has to offer; we also got to learn about their background, backstory, happy and sad moments, and feel for them. The show give a high level of emotional investment to its viewers.

We also saw supporting characters from the Yazuka gang and the Sakuragi family play a role in the overall story and plot execution. We learned more about the past and background of some of the supporting characters, which obviously aided our investment in them. We don't get the impression that they were thrown together for the sake of progressing the story, but rather that they played an actual role in the story's progression, as well as the Tooru and Yaeka tandem's growth and becoming closer.

Overall, this show is a must-see if you want to take a trip down memory lane and enjoy a heartfelt and wholesome moment. Just by looking at the trailer, you can tell that the art and sound are above average, and you should know what to expect from the show based on the synopsis and trailer. The only flaw in the story for me are the antagonists, who don't leave much of an impression aside from the fact that they're there and they have a grudge against the Sakuragi Group, particularly Tooru. Apart from that, the rest of the show, in my opinion, is flawlessly executed.

You may be thinking to yourself when you watch this at the start. ‘How is this so fucking sweet.’ Along with. ‘How can this sucker punch my emotions like how Kirishima punches someone’s guts out.’ Pretty much the simple answer is to watch and enjoy. As that’s how you’ll see for yourself. It draws you in with that context. It’s lure. Putting up a badass frame, only to sugar us with such wholesome sweetness. You’ll come back for more and more.

Story and characters: 9

I cannot love a cast more than I do here. Each and every cast member that had been introduced thus far has ... been a treasure and a delight in their own way. Good anime’s only have one or two great cast members. While great anime’s have more than that. I’ve already touched on Kirisima. Who is quite legit one you wouldn’t want to mess with. But at the same time, he has his sweet moments that you will treasure him for. Even if it might be all from him, it still counts on so many levels. Sakugari on the other hand gosh. Have you ever seen such a more precious and lovely gal then her? She deserves the world. Not because of her family, but because of the sweet angel that she is. Sugihara is like Kirishima robin to his batman. The comedy foil that is a great match up.


The story centers around Kirisima having to look after the bosses little girl, and the fun that follows that is what you see here. It’s going to be gritty. But one thing is for sure. It’s god damn wholesome.

Art and sound: 8

They do a really great job in presenting a lot. Mainly showcasing when scenes can look doom and gloom. But when through the little one, things seem more brighter and has a bit more colour to it. Same came be said for other scenes of that nature. Giving the watcher full knowledge of when what type of scene is happening. Great stuff there. While the sound and voice acting in general, is really well done. Full marks all round.

This show is a cute and wholesome treat. Give it a go now.

Family. It’s the essence of most of my emotion nowadays, and in modern media, any type of familial bonding just hits me in the feels, every time. We saw little tidbits of that in this show, and I only wish they executed the importance of family even better, but it’s alright, because Kirishima and Yaeka’s relationship is pure sweetness and wholesomeness to the extreme.

Babysitting shows always remind me of Hinamatsuri, a wonderful show that was wholesome, emotional, and extremely funny, and it’s hard not to compare the two shows. What this show lacked was a more creative approach to humour, and while it’s very wholesome, ... it felt unfocused and the story didn’t flow very smoothly, but I enjoyed what we got.

My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20

STORY: 14/25

It’s very sweet, and I can’t emphasize that enough. The relationships are sweet, the dialogue is sweet, the personalities of the characters are sweet. It didn’t have much else to tell though, and while it tried to go in a darker route at times with all the yakuza shenanigans, the tonal shifts felt awkward, because we’d have a set up for darker times ahead, and then proceed back to playing in a playground in the next episode instead of following the dark storyline. It just felt disorganized and unfocused. It felt like a lot of set up at times with no clear conclusion. The villains were kind of just all over the place, and they felt underwhelming as well.

Overall, there isn’t much to write home about the plot, there are just many cute moments and honestly, I’m ok with the simplicity, but I wish the darker moments were executed in a more clear fashion.

ART: 6.8/10

Not the biggest fan of the character designs, but they’re alright. Nothing special in terms of animation, it just works.

MUSIC: 7/10

The soundtrack is pretty simple, and fits the tone of the show well. While I didn’t enjoy the OP and ED very much, it still works for the show. Nothing too special.

CHARACTERS: 13/20

There was a lot of potential with the characters, but in my opinion, just not enough time to flesh them out. If we get a season 2, I’m sure that they’ll be better developed. The cast of characters are fun to watch, and wholesome to the max. Kirishima, the babysitter of Yaeka, probably had the biggest change within himself. He was a cold, and rather brutal yakuza member, and after being tasked with taking care of his boss’s daughter, he became nicer, and learned how to be more responsible. Sugihara existed for decent comedic relief, though his bits did get a bit repetitive as the show progressed.

There were some emotional moments too, and a few backstories that were engaging to watch. Each character had their own pasts and some of them had a rather dark one. With more time, I’m sure the characters will keep gaining depth to them and feel more interesting.

ENJOYMENT: 11.5/15

I loved the wholesome moments and the family moments, they always get me in the feels.

THEMATIC EXECUTION: 14.5/20

They were going for wholesomeness, and they did that very nicely, the theme of babysitting was really hammered home. The darker moments felt a bit short at times, but some of the moments hit pretty hard, and it would have been better if the more dark moments were in consecutive episodes rather than sprinkled in every once in a while.

OVERALL: 66.8/100

If you like wholesome shows, I’d gladly recommend this. While it definitely wasn’t my favourite show of this nature, it achieved what it was trying to convey decently, it just lacked focus. That said, I enjoyed my time watching this, and I’d love to see more of Kirishima and Yaeka having the time of their lives together.

(Non-Spoiler Review)

This is one of those animes that are very lighthearted and wholesome. No mind blowing plot or story. Just good characters and a simple storyline

Story: 6
The story is given away just by reading the title however it is not by any means boring. The story is quite unique though there is nothing special in the story, unexpected scenarios of cuteness will give you a smile.

Art: 7
The art and animation is quite standard and consistent. Nothing amazing.

... Sound: 6
Sound is probably the weakest point of this anime but it doesn't really matter because there is no need for extraordinary sound. It is decent sound, fitting for the setting and plot.

Characters: 7
All the characters in this anime are extremely enjoyable and make a very fun dynamic. Though they are Yakuzas and beat up people, they do care for each other and those in the family.

Enjoyment: 7.5
So far I've had a blast watching this anime. Nothing to break my brain or bring out a critique version of myself. Just simple, wholesome and lighthearted anime.

Overall: 6.5

The show we needed but didn't deserve. Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari is a light hearted, fun, and wholesome show. To keep it short the show was enjoyable.

Story 8/10: Fun and well executed, Kumichou is a comedy-slice of life show that explores the softer side of bad-ass mafias. While there were somewhat filler-like episodes, those episodes were also very enjoyable. It is fun to see how open the world we live in is. However; this doesn’t mean the entire thing is perfect. I think many parts of the show were unnecessary and a bit janky at times. It is also lacking layers of depth. It’s ... like a good looking cake that also tastes really good but deep down you know it can be better- kind of thing. (I'm not sure if that made any sense)

Characters 8/10: I personally thought that this aspect was the best part of the show. We see how people can change and mature throughout the story. Especially our two main cast (Kirishima and Yaeka) open up the world as they both learn about trust and how to open their minds to the world. It’s one of those shows that makes you feel good on the inside.

Enjoyment 8/10: Honestly one of the best shows this season, I couldn't wait to see more. It reminded me of other shows like Hinamatsuri, Barakamon, and Spy x Family. There are many heartfelt moments. Can’t wait for season two (If there is any).

I will recommend this show to everyone. It is one of those shows everyone can enjoy.

Kumichou Musume was my pleasant surprise of the season. Based on the premise, I knew it would be something I’d be interested in, but I would be lying if I said I thought it’d be as good as it was. A truly heartwarming tale of growth, acceptance and love.

The relationship between Yaeka and Kirishima is the core of the story and over the course of the season we see Kirishima go from a cold hearted and ruthless thug to a compassionate, gentle and kind soul thanks in large part to his bond with his boss’ daughter. The cute moments that the two share throughout the ... show are very well thought out and written. The relationship feels genuinely wholesome and organic and you really do come to love and become very attached to both of them. I’m also really glad that it stayed purely father-daughter esque as these series have a tendency to go down a pretty degenerate path, a la usagi drop and Uchi musume.

It’s pretty rare for a show to make me cry in the first couple episodes, but I definitely shed a few tears in episodes 2 and 3 which feature a really nice flashback sequence. It’s a testament to how well written this series is that it can suck you in and make you that invested so soon.

While the main duo is the core of the series, the supporting characters are also great and you quickly come to love them just as much as Yaeka and Kirishima. I found that everyone in the story had a purpose and advanced the plot very well. There were no wasted moments or people in this show which is always great to see.

Kumichou Musume features a very pleasant art style with a colourful palette that adds to the overall entertainment. The voice acting castings were spot on, particularly Kirishima’s seiyuu who perfectly nails the Yakuza hard-ass archetype, yet is able to also come off as a gentle and kind person too. Very well done.

I think if you only have time to watch a handful of anime at any given time, this needs to be one of the ones from this season. It is absolutely a must watch for any fan of wholesome shows, well written characters or those looking to escape the constant flux of isekai and fantasy. You will not regret it.

Kumichou Musume gets 9 out of 10.

A genuine hidden gem of Summer 2022, Yakuza's guide is a Slide of Life / Comedy which revolves around the story of a delinquent Yakuza member Kirishima looking after Yaeka, the daughter of the head of the family. I genuinely went into this anime not expecting too much from it, but upon watching the first few episodes, I was hooked. Its a story wholesome enough for viewers to go 'awww', has moments that were genuinely tear-jerking, and a strong male lead character with a really refreshing personality compared to many protagonists you see nowadays.

I will admit the art style of this anime is nothing ... too special or unique but a rather standard anime with relatively lower budget. I honestly think its a show that could have been on par with spy x family if treated better production wise but I think the studios did well with the budget that they probably had.

I highly recommend this anime to anyone who loves slice of life shows or are looking for something with a little more substance then a usual slice of life. The interactions between all the characters (main leads and side characters) and watching how it progresses and changes is genuinely just heartwarming and enjoyable.

First let's start with story. The plot isn't ground breaking or anything. It's just a simple story, a yakuza taking care of his boss's daughter, that's all. After reading synopsis you know what you're getting into.

The characters are introduced pretty quickly here and everyone of them are pretty likable and i was really impressed by the animation.

This show reminds me of the Anime kotaro. A light-hearted story with some bunch of wholesome scenes. But That cover(poster) almost made me not to watch this anime but I'm glad i did. This is one of those anime where you can just sit back and watch to get ... the feels.

I've never heard these V/A's before but they did bring life to their characters. It felt refreshing to listen to the characters for some reason. If you want to watch a wholesome anime trying this show won't disappoint you.

So, this was a surprise.

This anime was not even on my radar, I had skimmed the synopsis and read the words "Underworld" and "demon" and expected a mediocre fantasy that I would likely watch at a later point, only when I read it properly did I realise I had been wrong with my initial impression, and I decided to give it a try.
As soon as the opening credits were over, I knew this was going to be a series that I was going to enjoy, and after just the first episode, I was already thinking, this could very well wind up being my 'anime of ... the season'

This is very much like Barakamon in its core theme, an adult has an obvious personality flaw, and is a volatile incomplete person, and it's with the introduction of a young child, and various others around them, that they start to temper their personality, and become more complete, they learn what it is to live, and to create a family / home for themselves

One thing I like is while the concept of this seems farfetched when reading the synopsis, when you actually watch it, it does fall in place and make some sense.
Kirishima is the First Lieutenant for the family, his job is to keep the rest of the family in line, and to also act responsibly and ensure the Boss's orders are passed on and followed, yet he acts more like an Enforcer, and often takes things too far, even when negotiations are supposed to be peaceful, and this gets him into repeated trouble with the Boss
So, the Boss then orders Kirishima to be the Babysitter (and guardian) for his daughter Yaeka, normally that task would be handled by someone like Sugihara, but the Boss needs Kirishima to learn responsibility, and he also hopes it will smooth off some of the rough edges.

I won't get into the story, mainly because it's mainly the journey of the characters, while many of the events in the story are there to facilitate that.

Where this anime shines though is in the characters themselves, we have a rich diverse cast of characters, they are well developed and several characters are given real growth across the events of the series, this type of anime is all about the characters, it's the most important thing, so for the main cast (and by that I mean the 'Family') to be so well done, so well handled, likable, fleshed out, and to be treated as actual characters where they have actual personalities and flaws, that just makes it so good.

The humour is definitely subjective. I liked it for the first part, but there was one episode that I felt that was definitely too silly and it felt like a filler episode more than anything else, as it didn't really add anything.

Sara and her father are a bit too much of a trope, and a bit of a weaker point in an otherwise strong series

I enjoyed this from start to finish.
Without those two small issues, this could have been a 10/10, I would give it a 9.5 if I could but as it is, it gets a 9/10

A perfect balance between wholesome relationship building and gritty reality of the life of someone who lives in the world of the Yakuza

Plot: Kirshima is the first lieutenant to the Sakuragi family. Often referred to as "The Demon of Sakuragi", he is the 'no holds barred' kind of combatant, who can and will steamroll anyone who gets between him and the family. As a dangerous enforcer, there is very little that holds Kirishima back from being the rebel that he is. That is, until the boss of the family, gives Kirishima the task of becoming the babysitter for his only daughter, Yaeka. Not knowing how ... to care for a child, or how to follow rules, it is clearly a difficult task for the Demon of Sakuragi. Denouncing his old ways, he begins to slowly adapt to the life as being the caretaker for the little lady, and doing everything in his power to ensure that her happiness comes before anything.

Kirishima and Yaeka are one of the best dynamic relationships for main characters that I've seen in a long time. The dangerous and sadistic Kirishima, being forced into a role that pushes him to become the best version of himself and be a father figure to the sweet & adorable Yaeka. It is wholesome and endearing watching their relationship quickly grow as she adapts to this new parental figure. Yaeka is a gem of a character, wanting to make everyone happy, and wanting to give back all of the joy that Kirishima is trying to give to her.

There are definitely moments of tear-jerking capacity in this series, which compliment well with the humorous aspects, as well as the physical combat/action aspects. They did an amazing job of balancing everything and wrapping it into a beautiful box. The supporting characters don't have any lack of personality, Sugihara, Aoi, Kanami, Miyuki, Rei, they all have their own unique reasons to be just as important to the story, and drawing their own interesting backstories.

The voice acting (specifically for The Boss) are incredibly well done, and fit each character perfectly. The animation style, especially towards relaying the emotions of Yaeka and Kirishima, are just so perfect. There is very little that I would actually change in terms of content on this series. I am only upset that this was ONLY 12 episodes, as I would easily watch 200+ episodes of this family as they do everything to make Yaeka happy, but also deal with their business at the same time.

One of the cutest things of this series is watching the backstory of Kazuhiko & Miyuki, then equating just how perfect of a mix of both of their mannerisms are shown in Yaeka. They deserve their happy family, and Yaeka deserves only the best from the world. I hope the second season comes out fast but with the same extraordinary execution that season 1 had.

Animation: 9/10

Here is my review of this anime in 2022!

Story (10)
The story is about a yakuza member who is known as a yakuza killer since He's very strong and didn't have the common sense of a human when fighting. Until He must become a babysitter for the leader kid in the journey makes him become more human. It becomes interesting when He gets into the fight but the kid must not be seen him fighting. So there is a lot of comedy when watching this anime.

Art (10)
The art in this anime is actually very great! There are a lot of animations that they use in ... this anime. Sadly, the ending animation is mixed with real life which makes it quite didn't match with the anime vibes in my opinion. But overall the shadow, glow, etc are very cool! Lot of POVs that they used on this anime but it's looking great!

Sound (10)
All the sounds that they used were suitable and adjusted to the animation.

Character (10)
The main and supporter character is very memorable since they have unique personality. I love the main and supporter character on this anime.

Enjoyment (10)
It's very enjoyable to watch this movie in 2022.

Overall (10)
It's recommended to those who love comedy, yakuza, and fighting anime!

*Really hope that there will be 2nd season.

A slice-of-life with a twist.

"Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari" blends the everyday of taking care of a 7-year-old with the excitement of being in a Yakuza family. For the most part, I think it does a great job of establishing characters and showing their growth over the course of the 12 episodes. There is an overall familty-centric vibe to the whole thing as the darker yakuza half of the premise often is only present in short increments.

This uses the trope of "scary mean character is actually a sweetheart" fairly well. The daughter, Yaeka-chan, is well written and (in my opinion) avoids many of the ... tropes that can make younger characters annoying. It is heartwarming to watch her grow just as much as the other characters. Say what you will about it, this anime does portray family values really well, including found family.

There was an entire episode I could have done without, however. There isn't really a larger story here, just a rough timeline and several mini-arcs to follow. But the one episode I'd consider silly filler and mostly a time-waister. I skipped most of the way through it. One or two characters could have been excluded (tho I bet they have bigger roles in the manga) as they didn't really add much to the story and felt out-of-place.

A good anime if you're looking for something sweet and simple.

A good breather from depressing shows. If you enjoy cute kids in anime, this anime won't disappoint. The yakuza baby sitter show is everything you expected it to be from the title; tough yakuza man taking care of an adorable girl and some hijinks. While it does nothing new with the story beat, the characters are engaging. It's cute without forcing kawaiiiii scenes. The main girl, Yaeka, is an introvert which makes you root for her little interactions. The yakuza characters seem too tame for their career, although the show did not shy away from some dark moments. The character interactions are wholesome for the ... most part, with some cliche yakuza being yakuza scenes. Animation is cute and perfect for the show, with no particular inconsistency.
An overall breezy watch. I watched it after sobbing non-stop on AoT finale so it was just the right medicine for me.

Yakuzas guide to babysitting is one of those mid season feel good fodder kind of animes, but in spite of being that kind of anime it did do decently with the slice of life aspect which revolves around a yakuza member who's given the babysitting duty of the heads daughter so he essentially becomes a backseat gamer. Even with this kind of plot it still has occasional good comedy with a bit of feel good and a decent climax added near the end, the art style used in it is good for what anime it is.
There's also a good amount of character development for both ... protagonists which are followed in the anime with good side characters which add entertaining dynamic in the anime.

If you're looking for a reason to watch this then I'd say there's no harm in watching it if you have the expectation of no second season, no in depth story and overall an anime which has childcare with the yakuza genre in the background with added ok comedy.

This anime has two sides to it: one where Tooru babysits his boss' daughter, Yaeka, and another where he deals with yakuza matters.
For the babysitting side, it is wholesome and really cute. Yaeka's innocence and her desire to bond with her babysitter/s serves as a way to mellow out the yakuza members she mingles with, particularly Tooru. This results in these "tough" looking men becoming softies to Yaeka and her friends, and being at their best behaviour, which is contrary to their "violent" nature.

For the yakuza side, it felt forced into the anime. Yes I know they still remain as yakuza despite ... being baby sitters, but there's that one guy who is just lurking in the background, trying to act like a villain when it feels like he'll just get defeated easily. That's probably just me, and I find it unnecessary. The "shallow" encounters the yakuza gang has to deal with (like protecting turf) is enough for me.

Still, I recommend it for those who want to watch something cute and refreshing. I do hope it becomes less "serious" with the yakuza aspect in the next seasons. I'd rather watch a crime/suspense/action anime if I wanted those.

Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

Emotionally damaged character, add in a small adorable child with her own trauma and you get one of the most emotionally heartfelt, sweetest animes ever to be produced. Quickly became a top favourite even more than spyxfamily. Interesting side characters, and moments that tug at your heart strings. This seems to be a popular genre currently and whilst others have come out, very few have made me feel like this. Eagerly awaiting more!

Art style is so soft and vibrant, fitting for the environments of both harsh and sweet moments whilst the MC not only does the eng VA of jonah scott have the perfect ... voice, also appearing in a similar "Yakuza" themed anime but actually displays active change and improvement.

This anime is such a cute lighthearted one. I enjoyed every single episode and it always had me crying some happy tears.

The characters are so much fun and all of them are very interesting. The dynamics are amazing. The ost is cute and nice. The artstyle is one of my favorites in a while.

I dont have much to say besides this anime being such a fun and good watch, its a nice break from all the anxiety others give. It doesnt have much story but i think thats what makes it even nicer. Many people won't be able to enjopy this if they ... are looking for a lot of action.

I love how they showed the backstories of the main characters and i wish i could protect Kirishima and Sugihara from every bad thing that happened in their childhood, but if i had, we would have never gotten such a good and chilçl anime.

I absolutely recommend.

an interesting anime with babysitting and crime. I overall enjoyed it. I loved how the friendship between then grew. I feel so bad for the mom. the small fights were entertaining, if you like Spy x Family this also may be a good anime for you. It doesn't entirely have what Spy x Family has. but it has its own moments and wholesomeness.

the artstyle was great, I loved the eyes and how well detailed they were. the characters in the story were okay. some were generic and some were interesting to say the least. the story is unique and I hope it gets a second ... season in the future. this is one of the animes people missed this season.

Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari is a wholesome slice of life, the main appeal is the family theme. Similar to hinamatsuri, it shows the character progression of the mc transforming into a better person.

Story:6
Normal slice of life story where kinda nothing happens but you are still interested to see what happens next.

Characters: 8
The characters were fine nothing too outstanding, the only one that was interesting was kirishima, the others being forgetable side characters like in any slice of life.

Artwork:7
The art is normal, the only moments that stand out is when a badass moment happens with kirishima.
...
Sound:7
The sound is fine, the opening,ending and va was ok.

Enjoyment:9
I really liked this anime kept me entertained from start to finish. The jokes were kinda meh but i still laughed at them (fuck my humour).

Overall:7.5/10
A cute slice of life that you should watch.

Title: The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting - An Unusual Blend of Comedy and Heartwarming Moments

Rating: 7/10

The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting is a unique anime series that combines comedy, action, and heartwarming moments in an unexpected way. With its offbeat premise and endearing characters, this anime offers an entertaining and surprisingly heartfelt experience.

The story revolves around Kuro, a former yakuza member who finds himself thrust into the role of a babysitter when he stumbles upon an abandoned baby. As he reluctantly takes on this unexpected responsibility, Kuro navigates the challenges of childcare while also dealing with his own past and the presence of rival yakuza gangs.

One ... of the strengths of The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting lies in its comedic elements. The anime cleverly incorporates humor into the mismatched dynamic between Kuro and the baby, resulting in amusing and lighthearted situations. The comedic timing and slapstick moments provide a refreshing break from the more serious themes explored within the series.

Despite its comedic tone, the anime also manages to deliver heartfelt and poignant moments. As Kuro bonds with the baby and learns to care for her, the series explores themes of responsibility, redemption, and the power of unconditional love. These emotional beats add depth to the narrative, giving viewers a well-rounded experience that goes beyond simple laughs.

The animation style of The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting is decent, with expressive character designs and fluid action sequences when they occur. While it may not have the visual polish of some higher-budget anime, it effectively captures the essence of the story and enhances the comedic and dramatic moments.

The characters in the series are memorable and endearing. Kuro, with his tough exterior and unexpected soft side, undergoes gradual character development as he learns valuable life lessons through his interactions with the baby and those around him. The supporting characters, including fellow yakuza members and members of rival gangs, bring their own quirks and add to the overall comedic dynamic.

However, The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting does have some shortcomings. The pacing can feel uneven at times, with certain episodes lacking significant plot progression or focusing too heavily on episodic comedic gags. Additionally, the series may not appeal to those seeking deep character exploration or a complex narrative, as its primary focus is on providing entertainment through its comedy and heartwarming moments.

Overall, The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting offers a unique blend of comedy and heartwarming moments that make for an enjoyable viewing experience. While it may have its flaws in terms of pacing and depth, the series successfully delivers laughs and touches the heart with its endearing characters and unexpected emotional resonance. If you're looking for a lighthearted and occasionally touching anime that brings together yakuza and babysitting in an amusing way, this series is worth checking out. Therefore, it receives a solid 7/10 rating on my anime list.
