"Shin Chan: Shiro and Coal Town Hits Mobile Exclusively on Crunchyroll"

Author:Kristen Update:May 22,2025

Crunchyroll is set to enhance its anime catalogue with a new exclusive mobile release for Ani-May, introducing Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town. This exciting addition will be available exclusively through Crunchyroll's subscription service, continuing their tradition of bringing unique anime experiences to their audience.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Crayon Shin-Chan is a beloved Japanese manga that chronicles the daily adventures of Shinnosuke Nohara and his circle of family and friends. While it may not be as widely recognized outside Japan, it holds a special place in the hearts of many fans.

Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town not only brings back Shinnosuke and other familiar characters but also pays homage to another cult classic, My Summer Vacation for the PlayStation One. This life simulation game, which recently saw a Western release, sets the stage for the new adventure. Even if you're not nostalgic for Boku No Natsuyasumi, as My Summer Vacation is known in Japan, Shiro and the Coal Town offers a wealth of engaging features.

Summertime

In this game, you'll step into the shoes of Shin Chan, exploring the picturesque countryside of Akita. Engage in various activities and minigames, from fishing to gardening, as you immerse yourself in the day-to-day life of this beloved character. And if the beautifully rendered Japanese countryside isn't enough, venture into the mysterious Coal Town for a more fantastical twist on your summer vacation. This game adds a compelling layer to the life simulation genre, offering a rich world to explore and enjoy.

This release further solidifies Crunchyroll's commitment to bringing unique and cult classic titles to mobile platforms. If you're looking for something different, don't forget to check out our list of the top 25 best RPGs for iOS and Android to dive into other fantasy worlds and adventures.
