Shin chan: Summer Vacation is a mobile adaptation of the beloved adventure game Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey, now arriving on Android via Crunchyroll Game Vault. Set in the peaceful town of Assou, Kumamoto, players join five-year-old Shinnosuke Nohara—aka Shin chan—for a heartwarming and hilariously surreal summer holiday filled with exploration, quirky characters, and mysterious happenings.
The story kicks off when Shin chan receives a strange camera from the eccentric Professor Akuno, triggering a time-loop that repeats the same seven days. As players guide Shin chan through his vacation, they’ll engage in relaxing slice-of-life activities like bug catching, fishing, vegetable farming, and helping townsfolk, all while uncovering secrets tied to dinosaurs and time travel. Each day unfolds with a gentle rhythm, encouraging players to document their adventures in a picture diary and build relationships with the locals.
Visually, the game blends hand-painted backgrounds with cel-shaded character models, capturing the anime’s charm while immersing players in a nostalgic countryside setting. Fully voiced in Japanese with English subtitles, the mobile version retains the original’s cozy atmosphere and whimsical storytelling.
