The beloved Crayon Shin-chan universe expands with a new official spin-off anime! This time, the spotlight is on Shin-chan’s dad, Hiroshi Nohara (age 35), and his daily ritual: lunch.
Adapted from the hit food manga by Yoichi Tsukahara, this series dives into Hiroshi’s precious midday escape—his lunch break—something never shown in the original Crayon Shin-chan series. As a hardworking salaryman providing for his family, Hiroshi makes the most of his limited allowance and tight schedule to indulge in his ultimate obsession: the perfect lunch.
With over 800,000 copies sold (print and digital combined) and 4.4 million pageviews on mangacrayonshinchan.com, this much-talked-about work finally hits the screen!
From fiery hot to tearfully sweet, each meal brings out a different side of Hiroshi—often showcased through his exaggerated “food reaction faces”, which have become a fan favorite. And yes, signature Shin-chan-style gags and surreal humor are fully intact, making it a treat for longtime fans of the original series.
Get ready to see a side of Hiroshi you’ve never seen before: the face of a man at lunch. What meals await him today? And just what is his sacred “Lunch Philosophy”?
