My name is Nohara Shinnosuke, an ordinary high school student, unremarkable and simple.
I like watching Action Kamen, eating chocolate biscuits, and 100% pure fruit juice!
The foods I hate the most are green peppers, carrots, broccoli, onions, and so on.
Currently, I have three best friends: Kazama Toru, Bo-chan, and Nobi Nobita.
Shinnosuke has a long-hidden secret—in fact, he possesses some memories from another world!
Since he was a baby, fragments of memories from a previous life often appeared in his mind. As his brain gradually developed, those memories slowly merged and resurfaced, and only then did he realize that he had been reincarnated into the anime Crayon Shin-chan, becoming the main character Nohara Shinnosuke.
Whether this was reincarnation or just acquiring some memory fragments from another world, Shinnosuke himself wasn't sure.
Precisely because of this, the name in his previous life was very vague, completely unrecallable, and also completely unimportant.
In any case, in this world, he would forever be a cheerful five-year-old, only needing to enjoy a happy childhood.
After accepting this arrangement, Shinnosuke began his happy life. Initially, this carefree life was indeed very comfortable. However, the repetitive days of childhood gradually made him, whose mentality was almost that of an adult, slowly feel bored.
Until one day, in Shinnosuke's mind, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of his life.
[Error!]
[Error!]
[Error!]
[System is performing self-check...]
[Self-check complete, searching for the current world...]
[Space-time error, timeline error, time cycle, there are multiple parallel universes...]
[Processing... deleting and merging parallel universes...]
[Space-time error has been fixed, loading character panel...]
[Character panel loaded successfully, hope you enjoy the game!]
After that, the electronic voice completely disappeared. No matter how Shinnosuke called out, there was no response.
Since that day, Shinnosuke was surprised to realize that the previously stagnant space-time had begun to move again!
He began to gradually grow up!
No longer a five-year-old forever!
This made Shinnosuke very happy. Childhood life was indeed very happy, but to be honest, he himself didn't know how long he had been five years old; he was already very tired of it.
If he didn't have memories from his previous life, maybe he would have calmly remained a five-year-old forever without any problems.
But after having memories and thoughts that were almost adult-like, he always had some worries and longed to grow up quickly.
The system fixed the worldview in this world, making this world no longer a children's anime but turning it into a real world. However, after so many years, the system only loaded a character panel for him.
And the taskbar, which was always empty, had never shown any tasks for many years.

"Shin-chan, have you really decided?"
Nohara Misae looked at her son in front of her, still a little worried. She didn't know what this child was thinking. Wouldn't it be better to stay in Kasukabe? Why did he have to go study at Sobu High School?
"Sobu High School and Shuchi'in Academy have already merged. I heard Toyogasaki High School also joined the merger. Are you sure you can handle it?"
The Nohara family's financial situation wasn't too bad and not too good, just average. They still had eleven years of mortgage payments left.
All the students at Sobu High School were excellent in their studies, their academic abilities were outstanding, and their deviation scores were very high.
Shuchi'in Academy was even more so; most of the students attending there were descendants of prominent families, and the rest were geniuses with exceptionally outstanding academic abilities.
Shinnosuke was accepted into Sobu High School as a special talent student in sports. In soccer, baseball, boxing, and swimming, he showed extraordinary talent.
It was precisely because of his athletic talent, which far surpassed ordinary people, that Shinnosuke caught the attention of Sobu High School.
Shinnosuke waved his hand.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm already grown up. I can definitely take care of myself. Besides, Toru and Bo-chan are also going to Sobu High School; I definitely have to go too!"
Kazama Toru entering Sobu High School wasn't surprising. Bo, although he didn't talk much, was actually a hidden genius with excellent academic grades.
As for Shinnosuke's other best friend, Nobi Nobita, he didn't go to Sobu High School but instead attended an ordinary high school.
When he first met him, Shinnosuke wanted to get some magical gadgets from Doraemon to play with. It would be even better if they could help him go on dates with sexy older sisters.
But strangely, there was no robot named Doraemon near Nobita, and Nobita's personality was also slightly different from the Nobita in the anime from his previous life's memories.
The Nobita in this world didn't have many shortcomings. His academic grades weren't particularly good or bad; he was responsible, kind, and honest, and he had a very good childhood friend, Minamoto Shizuka. He was a happy ordinary person.
Misae nodded, knowing that Kazama and Bo would be going to Sobu High School. After discussing it with Hiroshi, they finally agreed to let Shinnosuke study at Sobu High School and rented a house near the school for him.
This also meant Shinnosuke would be leaving home and living independently on his own. How could Misae not worry?
Since childhood, Shinnosuke had always been a child who made people worry. Even though he would soon be entering high school, he was often still so wild. Maybe it would be difficult for him to get along with other students, right?
"Alright, my wife, trust Shin-chan."
Nohara Hiroshi beside her looked very calm. Now that he had escaped the status of an eternal corporate slave and become a department head, paying for Shinnosuke's rent and living expenses wasn't a problem for him.
"Shin-chan will definitely grow up. Even if he stays in Kasukabe, won't he still have to go to college outside the city in the future?"
"We've already rented the house; it's too late to worry now."
Hiroshi had been voted the most desirable man to marry for ten consecutive years and had been voted the best father multiple times. Although he looked ordinary, he was actually full of merits.
He had great faith in his son, Shinnosuke.
"Are you worried Shin-chan will be bullied?"
"That's not it…"
Looking at Shinnosuke in front of her, Misae shook her head. Although Shinnosuke might not be able to blend in with the group, being bullied was definitely impossible. At most, he would be a child who didn't like to socialize.
The Shinnosuke now was no longer a small fry. Inheriting Hiroshi's height of 180cm, and having diligently exercised for many years, Shinnosuke was now 178cm tall. The average height in Japan was relatively short; he had already far surpassed his peers.
Despite his absurd and cunning personality, Shinnosuke's face belonged to the bright, athletic handsome type. The only flaw might be his slightly too thick eyebrows.
His hair inherited the Nohara family's natural curls, looking cool even without styling. If Shinnosuke dressed well and had a more cheerful and straightforward personality, maybe he would be very popular among girls, wouldn't he?
