The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting (2022)

[組長娘と世話係]

Director: Itsuro Kawasaki
Studio: Feel, Gaina
Starring: Yoshimasa Hosoya, Misaki Watada, Kaito Ishikawa
Episodes: 12

Synopsis:
To rein in his wild lieutenant, a yakuza boss puts the lieutenant in charge of taking care of his daughter.

Impressions:
What we have here is a sweet little daughter simulator where the hook is that the yakuza are involved. The dynamic between Kirishima and Yaeka is adorable (and, as with all daughter simulators, we all pray it doesn't go Usagi Drop in the end). Yaeka helps tame Kirishima's destructive tendencies as intended, while he helps her to come out of her shell and interact more fruitfully with the world around her. Although danger lurks in the background, it's mostly out of the picture, to the point where Kirishima's admirer Mashiro, who wants to see him remain the Demon of Sakuragi, feels quite underdeveloped. The main focus is cute moments between Kirishima and Yaeka and you'll get those in spades. If that doesn't sound too saccharine for you, I highly recommend adding it to your collection.
