Mission Yozakura Family Episode 5 Review: Mutsumi Goes On A Date
After Taiyo’s mission is successfully completed, he can finally have a moment of respite, where he can make some plans for his wife. He can now have a normal conversation with her, joke with her or even go on a date.
But sadly, that is too good to be true, and he gets into a pretty big problem for all the stunts that he pulled after becoming a spy. Suddenly, he gets approached by a police officer who comes to take Taiyo away. Not only that, but Taiyo was also forcefully detained and questioned about all the suspicious things that he did in the past few days. Apparently, somebody has posted his pictures from his missions all over the dark web and his life as a normal schoolboy is absolutely over.
The police officer also tries to threaten Taiyo to make him name his companions, as he is clearly not the only one doing all these dangerous missions. But Taiyo being the dependable hero he is, refuses to cough up anyone’s name from the Yozakura family. The results of this audacity were pretty interesting.
After this incident, we see another segment where Taiyo is very much worried about the status of his relationship with his new wife. Even he understands that he and Mutsumi have zero time together and hence, they cannot act like a normal couple. Taiyo also discovers that spies have the highest rate of divorce cases within them because of lack of communication, etc. So to avoid such a fate, Taiyo decides to take Mutsumi out somewhere. But it is easier said than done to take a day off in a spy’s life and hence, at the very last moment, he must go out for a mission. However, do not lose hope as things go rather romantically towards the end.
Verdict
Now this anime has picked up a decent pace and is going with it. The relationship between the characters is strengthening every day and Mutsumi and Taiyo are closer than ever. This show has become a pretty interesting series which is definitely very entertaining and funny, but there’s nothing serious yet so do not expect much drama here.
If you are still not watching this, please do as you are bound to like this one.
