Crunchyroll Adds Shin Chan Game to Android Vault

Shin Chan: Shiro & Coal Town has officially arrived on Android devices via the Crunchyroll Game Vault. This charming slice-of-life adventure first launched in Japan for Nintendo Switch in February 2024, followed by a global Switch and PC release in October 2024. Now mobile players can finally experience this heartwarming tale.

A Nostalgic Anime Journey Begins

The story follows the Nohara family as they relocate to Akita Prefecture's countryside after Hiroshi lands a job near his hometown. Settling into a traditional Japanese farmhouse, young Shinnosuke (better known as Shin Chan) discovers the simple pleasures of rural life with his grandfather Ginnosuke.

Players will experience authentic country living - fishing in crystal-clear streams, bug-catching in lush groves, and learning farming techniques from grandma. The peaceful routine takes an unexpected turn when the family dog Shiro returns covered in coal dust and dashes away. Following his trail leads Shin Chan to a mysterious train and ultimately to the enigmatic Coal Town.

Step into Coal Town's Retro Mystery

Frozen in time since the Showa era, Coal Town contrasts sharply with the peaceful countryside. Explore a vibrant world filled with bustling workers, retro Japanese aesthetics, and unique activities. The town features interactive elements like a children's park, diner, shops and residential areas alongside non-interactive background details.

Join Forces with Young Inventor Yuri

Players will assist Yuri, a bright young inventor working to improve townsfolks' lives. The adventure takes a dramatic turn when her older brother Chuck arrives with his misguided "waste-free" system that creates chaos for residents. It's up to Shin Chan and Yuri to restore harmony to Coal Town.

For fans who grew up with the beloved Shin Chan series, this nostalgic adventure is now available through Crunchyroll Game Vault on the Google Play Store. Don't miss this heartwarming journey blending rural charm with supernatural mystery.
