The beloved mischievous five-year-old is back in a brand-new adventure! *Shin Chan: Shiro & the Coal Town* has officially launched on Android via the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Originally released in Japan for Nintendo Switch in February 2024, the game made its global debut on Switch and PC in October 2024—and now, it’s finally available for mobile players worldwide.

Shin Chan: Shiro & the Coal Town – A Mysterious Anime Adventure

In *Shin Chan: Shiro & the Coal Town*, the Nohara family moves to a quiet village in Akita Prefecture after Hiroshi lands a job near his hometown. They settle into a traditional Japanese farmhouse and begin enjoying their new rural lifestyle.

At the start of the game, Shinnosuke (better known as Shin Chan) spends time with his grandfather Ginnosuke exploring the countryside. You’ll fish in Akita’s rivers during the morning and evening, catch bugs in the groves, and learn farming techniques from grandma—classic moments that celebrate simple country living.

One day, the family dog Shiro mysteriously returns covered in soot and darts off into the distance. Naturally, Shin Chan gives chase, only to stumble upon a strange train that wasn’t there before. A single ride later, he finds himself in the curious and enigmatic Coal Town.

Step Into a Showa-Era World

Coal Town feels like it's been preserved in time since the Showa era. The town is full of life, retro charm, and unique activities. Unlike the peaceful countryside, this bustling locale features a kid’s park, diner, shops, restaurants, and an apartment block. Some areas are interactive while others simply add flavor to the world.

Once you're settled in, you’ll meet Yuri, a young inventor who needs your help gathering materials for her experiments—all aimed at improving the lives of Coal Town’s residents. But not everything goes according to plan. Her older brother, Chuck, unveils a bizarre “waste-free” system that ends up causing chaos. It’s up to you and Yuri to stop him and restore harmony to the town.

If you grew up watching *Shin Chan*, this latest installment offers a nostalgic yet fresh experience perfect for fans. With a Crunchyroll Game Vault subscription, you can now download *Shin Chan: Shiro & the Coal Town* directly from the Google Play Store.
