The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting
26 September 2022
Kirishima Tooru is an enforcer for the yakuza with a reputation for having no sense of restraint when dealing with enemies. Even his boss is concerned that he goes too far. In an attempt to moderate his behaviour he is given a new task... he is to babysit Yaeka, the boss's seven year old daughter. As the series progresses a bond develops between them but Kirishima's violent reputation continues to draw danger.

I thought this series was rather fun; it provided humour, some tension and likeable characters. The character designs and animation are solid. The story is decent enough although I suspect this will be one of the many series one enjoys while watching but will soon forget details beyond the central premise and feel little need to watch again. Overall I'd say this was fun enough to watch once.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
