As you can see in the slides below, the love for Buddy Daddies is real, and it has proven the fandom’s desire for found-family shows. Like Spy x Family last year, this action comedy follows a ragtag family that leans on each other out of necessity to start. But as their lives carry on, the trio become more invested in each other than expected.
In the show’s first episode, Buddy Daddy introduced Rei Suwa and Kazuki Kurusu, two young men who live everyday lives in between assassination gigs. When one of their jobs goes awry, the pair find themselves adopting Miri Unasaka. The four-year-old orphan ends up turning the pair’s life around, and despite the family’s newness, it goes without saying our two assassins are adorable dads.
