The Shiunji Family Children (Japanese: 紫雲寺家の子供たち, Hepburn: Shiunji-ke no Kodomo-tachi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Reiji Miyajima. It has been serialized in Hakusensha's seinen manga magazine Young Animal since February 2022. Set in Tokyo's Seijō neighborhood, located in Setagaya Ward, the series follows a young boy who has never had a girlfriend.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Doga Kobo aired from April to June 2025.

Plot

[edit]

Arata Shiunji is a young man who lives with his five sisters and a younger brother. Due to him never having a girlfriend, it appears he will still remain single for the foreseeable future. One day, however, his father reveals a shocking secret to the family: he and his siblings are not blood relatives. Arata now finds himself dealing with an unexpected situation thanks to this revelation.
