The heroes of Street Fighter have squared off against some wild opponents in the past, with the Capcom franchise spawning the likes of M. Bison, Balrog, Sagat, Vega, and a number of other nefarious brawlers as the series remains one of the top fighting game properties of all time. Now, it seems that Ryu, Ken, and Blanka are set to come face to face with an unexpected opponent in the form of one of the biggest Harem anime franchises currently being released within the world of anime today.

The world of Street Fighter has certainly had its forays in the past when it comes to the medium of anime, with the anime series, Street Fighter II V, being just one example of the different stories of the street fighters hitting the world of animation. With the fighting franchise first hitting the world of anime in 1994 via its animated movie, it has since released plenty of other films and original video animations alongside some of the biggest fighting games on various consoles. Recently, Street Fighter 6 was confirmed by Capcom to be in the works, bringing back some old favorites while also introducing some new world warriors to the fray.
The Official Twitter Account for Weekly Shonen Magazine gave fans a first look at this unexpected crossover, which is set to reveal new details in the twenty-ninth issue of the Shonen publication that is set to be released later this year:
The publishers of Goddess Cafe Terrace, Kodansha, shared an official description of the Harem series that will somehow cross over with the likes of Ryu, Blanka, and Ken of Street Fighter fame, which remains one of the biggest video game properties created by the publishers at Capcom:
“Hayato Kasukabe has been accepted to Tokyo U on his first try. Receiving news of his grandmother’s death, he returns to his childhood home, Café Terrace Familia, for the first time in three years to find five strange girls there who claim to be “Grandma’s Family”! Hayato’s unexpected life in a seaside town with these five girls of fate begins here!”
