After stepping into 2024, the joy for the anime watchers seems to be never-ending. Jump Festa 2024 already introduced the fans to several new anime along with ongoing anime that are going to light up in 2024. But after New Year, the announcements seem to continue. The latest anime to enter the 2024 list is Honobu Yonezawa’s magnum opus, Shoushimin.
Honobu Yonezawa is a popular name among the anime fandom due to his previous creation, Hyouka. Hyouka became a popular show earlier in the last decade. Yonezawa has a habit of writing stories that are simple and can be understood by the common people. After Shoushimin’s teaser release on January 12, 2024, the fans have begun to expect another masterpiece from Honobu Yonezawa.
Shoushimin Annoucement Excites The Fans
After the end of Hyouka, Shoushimin is the first anime adaptation of Honobu Yonezawa. In between, he wrote several books like Mangan and Imasara Tsubasa to Iwaretemo. His upcoming anime is scheduled for July 2024, and Lapin Track will look after the animation works. The story follows two teenagers who get entangled in strange situations even though their goal is to be simple lower middle-class citizens. The teaser is a minute long and introduces the two main characters of the anime.

Apart from the teaser, the main cast and staff were also revealed. The anime is set to adapt the first couple of volumes of Shoushimin. The first volume is named ‘The Spring Special Strawberry Tart Case,’ and the second one is named ‘The Summer Special Tropical Parfait Case.’ The episode number is yet to be revealed. Since two volumes will be covered, people can expect a fair number of episodes in season one.
Honobu Yonezawa began writing Shoushimin more than a decade ago, and finally, in 2024, people can enjoy it worldwide. The mangaka has already proved his worth by creating Hyouka. So, the fans are pretty excited about the recent developments. They can barely control themselves after knowing about Shoushimin.
Fans React To Shoushimin Annoucement
Honobu Yonezawa might have expected a positive response to his upcoming anime, but he will be more than happy after seeing the fans’ reaction to the Shoushimin announcement. It was not long after the announcement that they went to social media and started to shower love and appreciation for the anime. One of the X (formerly Twitter) users said that the song is good, along with the anime.
