Everyone loves a cheeky main character. Which partly explains the three decades of popularity enjoyed by the Japanese manga series, Crayon Shin-chan. It’s all about the life and antics of precocious, oddball, would-be ladies’ man, Shin-chan. It’s a classic “slice of life” manga. The friends and family of five year old Shin-chan populate a hilarious, charming world. Shin-chan is a jokester. And his best gag? Shaking his booty. Now, we can truly RP as someone who is brave enough to say to “the man”: eat my cheeks, I answer to no one.

Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation- The Endless Seven-Day Journey, a game originally released in 2021 as a Switch only Japanese title, was localized for an English audience due to popular demand. It’s summer vacation time as Shin-chan and family visit some friends in his mom’s hometown. While the manga is peppered with lots of jokes aimed at an audience with a deep understanding of Japanese Culture, the town’s name is Asso, a hilarious, butt-based coincidence which might be lost on a non-English speaking crowd. A mad professor, a magical camera, and the imagination of Shin-chan himself add the wacky, fantastical elements the series is known for.
