The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons
Oshimeter
Synopsis
When their parents pass away, four brothers have to figure out how to be a family on their own. That's the setup for Yuzuki-san Chi no Yonkyoudai, and it's quieter and more grounded than you'd expect. Hayato, the eldest, works as a teacher while essentially raising his three younger siblings. Mikoto is the cool, composed second brother who turns into a complete softie around Minato, the clumsy and earnest third son. And then there's Gakuto, a first-grader who speaks and carries himself like a tiny philosopher, which somehow never stops being endearing. The show lives in the small moments: packing lunches, walking to school, figuring out how to talk about feelings when you're not great at it. There's genuine emotional weight underneath the everyday stuff, but it never feels manipulative or heavy-handed. Studio Shuka keeps the animation warm and expressive, letting the little details in body language and expression do a lot of the heavy lifting. If you liked the found-family warmth of Barakamon or the gentle emotional core of Usagi Drop, this hits a similar spot. It also shares some DNA with March Comes in Like a Lion in how it treats grief as something you carry quietly while still trying to live a normal life. Twelve episodes, shoujo manga source, and the kind of wholesome that actually earns the label instead of just slapping it on.

What a perfect episode summarizing the relationship of the Yuzuki family, with a nice twist by portraying it with Gakuto's perspective. Excellent direction and visuals overall, and I hope there's gonna be more seasons to come!
Yet another excellent of brotherly love with the Yuzuki family, and how all four of them stepping up to take care of each other despite their own quirks.
This episode made me cry because of how good the portrayal of brotherly love from the Yuzuki family is, with such excellent visuals, direction and music.
A continuation of the previous episode, the beautiful yet realistic portrayal of the Yuzuki family dynamics never fail to tug the heartstrings. Not to mention it's heartwarming to see what Gakuto realizes by the end of this episode.
This is among my favorite episodes showing not only Gakuto and Minato's cuteness and maturity, but also solidified them both as the best characters for me in this series.
Really great and relatable episode regarding the Kirishima family and how Saki, Uta and Waka interact with each other. The portrayal of how their family's friendship with the Yuzuki family is very heartwarming, and I hope to see more in the future!
Another great episode showing how teenagers try to navigate feelings and interacting with their fellows. Uta's situation was very relatable and I love how she resolved things. Seeing Minato's character development is great, too!
Nothing but praises for this episode showing a very relatable period on a person's life: a teenager's love troubles, with the episode showing how Uta, as well as the friends around her, navigate things.
Another excellent episode, this time about Hayato, his troubles being now the eldest son and now head of the family. I felt for him so much in this episode, but also was happy with the resolution that happened regarding said troubles. Just a beautiful episode overall.
One of the best episodes in this series featuring the most mature member of the Yuzuki family, Gakuto. The visuals aside, the excellent direction and music made this episode endear the series to me even more.
As someone with siblings, Minato and Mikoto's problems hit too close to home, though my heart hurts for Mikoto very much. The anime portrayed everything with such excellent direction and visuals, though.
Very great, beautiful episode! As someone who loves the manga to bits, the introduction to the Yuzuki family and their lives are something that hits close to home.
This was one of the best episode and a perfect ending for this season. All the episode, they really showed every character's emotion and perspective in beautifully way. I loved about the story was shown from every character feel emotionally and felt like one of the character. Every moment here felt warm and memorable. Hope they're working for another season :D
This episode is incridibly good and heartwarming. They really reverse their role about taking care of each other. This is such an intense episode becuase of Hayato, but they really served it with some humor and it's got the point to not get too worried and if you need help just say it don't keep it. Anw they are really so cute in this episode
This episode is really cute. They really take back to the moment when Gakuto's born day. I couldn't handle Gakuto cuteness at this time. Anw this episode told us about their bond to each other of Family member. This episode served a wholesome and heartwarming vibes about family :D
This episode really heartwarming and incridibly good. I still couldn't to hold Gakuto's cuteness in this episode. Anw this episode is really mixed feeling. I am happy about Gakuto but beside that, it has something has to be sacrificed that's Uta :D. But you really can count to each other if you are in struggle
It's a wholesome episode. Gakuto is really cute, he really knows about his brother struggle so he dont want to bother them. I couldn't handle Gakuto's cuteness at this time. This really overload cuteness. Anw this episode is really has a heartwarming vibes but it's kinda mixed sometimes.
It was a good episode and at this this is really sad about Uta's family. They are really tough and can revived about their situation. This episode is kinda sad, but in the end they showed it in a good way with some humors and heartwarming moments.
This episode really has a mixed feeling. It's starting with sad vibes about their friendship and misunderstood to each other. But in the end they really solved it together and becoming a true friendship. It's really good and the point about this episode is really relateable and that's stab my deep heart
This episode is really good. That showed Minato's jealousy hahaha. That's really cute. This episode showed about their friendship is bigger than people thought about it. It's really heartwarming and incredibly make me laugh.
