Why Mission: Yozakura Family Deserves an Anime
Weekly Shonen Jump is responsible for churning out some of the most successful manga of all time, including Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. As such, getting a manga to be published by the magazine is a major accomplishment, and slots in its lineup are highly competitive. The competition also means that manga which sell poorly don't last very long.

In fact, every Shonen Jump series released since 2010 with over 100 chapters has gotten an anime, with two exceptions. The first is Koumoto Hajime's Mashle, a Harry Potter meets One-Punch Man action-comedy that just hit its hundredth chapter this month. The other is Hitsuji Gondaira's Mission: Yozakura Family, which currently stands at 122 chapters. Neither series has seen any mention of an anime adaptation. This is especially disappointing for the latter because it truly deserves one.
