The popular Crayon Shin-chan series is getting a new spin-off focusing on the daily life of the family father Hiroshi Nohara. Nohara Hiroshi: Hirumeshi no Ryūgi (English: The Art of Hiroshi’s Lunch Break) portrays the 35-year-old office worker on his missionary quest for the perfect lunch—always constrained by budget and time.

Production and Cast

- Director: Tsukasa Nishiyama (Human Bug Daigaku)

- Animation: DLE, known for humorous flash animations like The Eagle Talon

- Hiroshi’s Voice: Toshiyuki Morikawa, who already plays the role in Crayon Shin-chan

The series combines culinary discoveries with typical workplace scenarios: From the art of treating colleagues without overburdening the wallet to "insider tips" for quick meals between meetings. It incorporates not only recipe trivia but also humorous insights into the pitfalls of office life.

A released key visual shows Hiroshi in a business suit against a backdrop of restaurants and skyscrapers—symbolic of his dual role as a family man and career professional. The implementation as a flash animation underscores the quirky, lighthearted tone of the source material.

The series is based on the ongoing manga from Monthly Manga Town, which has been serialized since 2015, and will premiere in October on BS Asahi. Fans can look forward to a charming mix of everyday comedy and culinary passion—garnished with a touch of nostalgia for Shin-chan enthusiasts.
