Synopsis
of Mission: Yozakura Family
After
losing his entire family in a car accident, Taiyou Asano tries to distance
himself from his childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura, but she assures him that
she isn't going anywhere. However, Taiyou becomes socially awkward, struggling
to make friends at school despite the efforts of his persistent classmates. One
day, the vice principal calls Taiyou into his office, only to begin threatening
to kill the boy. Taiyou is dragged away by a stranger and eventually wakes up
next to Mutsumi, who introduces him to her siblings, a family of spies who
harbor superhuman abilities. Each generation produces an ordinary human who
becomes the head of the family. Mutsumi is one of them, and the family's
mission is to protect her with their lives.
The vice
principal's real name is Kyoichiro Yozakura, and he is the eldest son of the
family. Since Kyouichiro believes Taiyou is a threat to Mutsumi's life, the
only way to keep both Taiyou and Mutsumi safe is for them to marry; the family
has a rule that prevents them from killing within the Yozakura household.
Though he is reluctant at first, Taiyou agrees in order to protect Mutsumi. He
must now train as a spy for the Yozakuras to protect himself from the constant
threats to his and Mutsumi's lives.
