Mission: Yozakura Family

A manga about a high school boy who marries his childhood friend and into her elite spy family. Now he must train to become a spy himself and protect his wife from enemies and himself from her over protective elite spy brother.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

Mission: Yozakura Family isn’t a bad manga. I like the unique spy family members who all have unique specifications. The overprotective and obsessed sibling plays into the sibling love troupe that I’m not a fan of. Still, this manga by Hitsuji Gondaira is very competent and entertaining.

Unfortunately it just doesn’t compete against other popular series in Weekly Shonen Jump. I’m pretty surprised it’s lasted as long as it has. Timing is probably a huge factor since Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, The Promised Neverland, and Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs are ending. It might last a little longer but unless something changes soon this series will join the graveyard of canceled Weekly Shonen Jump manga.
