Remember that meme-worthy official spin-off manga of "Crayon Shin-chan," Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch Style? Its TV anime adaptation dropped this October, and thanks to the animation team's... *uniquely dedicated* production, the character dubbed "Fake Hiroshi" has been cracking everyone up, unexpectedly blowing up online!
Today (12/6), the official announcement dropped: next week's 11th episode will be a crossover with "Crayon Shin-chan," featuring a brand-new story starring Misae Nohara titled "Misae Nohara's Lunch Style"! And yeah, it instantly sparked buzz.
This special crossover episode is penned by Moral, the same screenwriter behind both the main series and Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch Style. Titled "Misae Nohara's Lunch Style," it swaps out Hiroshi for Shin-chan's mom, Misae, and will delve into 'one hour even her family doesn't know about.' This original story, not found in the manga, promises to show us a whole new side of Misae the housewife.
The synopsis? Misae leaves Hiroshi, Shin-chan, and Himawari at home to hit up a discount sale. After a successful bargain hunt, it's lunchtime! A family restaurant is right there, but she thinks, "Since I'm alone, I should treat myself a little." Ramen, curry, pasta... she agonizes over the choices before finally mustering the courage to step into a fancy restaurant, treating herself to a long-overdue luxurious experience as a mom.
As soon as the news dropped, fans were hyped, wondering if we'd see both husband and wife preparing for their own "Domain Expansions"!
Of course, others are already joking, "Is an ordinary person who imagines themselves to be Misae Nohara going to replace Fake Hiroshi now?"
Given how Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch Style has performed this season, we can totally expect Misae's original episode to deliver some wildly eccentric and quirky presentation. After all, the animation team truly transformed this once-meme-generator into an instant viral sensation. So, make sure to tune in for next week's latest installment!
(The final episode of Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch Style airs on the 19th.)
