Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey is a 2021 adventure game developed by Neos Corporation, Millennium Kitchen, and Star Factory, and designed and written by Kaz Ayabe. Based on the manga and anime series Crayon Shin-chan, the game has been described as a spiritual successor to the Boku no Natsuyasumi video game series directed by Ayabe and developed by Millennium Kitchen. Like Boku no Natsuyasumi, Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation follow the player character as he spends his summer vacation in an open-ended environment with few set gameplay goals or obligations. It was released in Japan for the Nintendo Switch on July 15, 2021, and worldwide for Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows in 31 August 2022.

Like other entries in the Crayon Shin-chan series, Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation follows the comedic and occasionally surreal adventures of the Nohara family: five-year-old Shinnosuke (the titular "Shin-chan"), his father Hiroshi, mother Misae, younger sister Himawari, and the family dog Shiro. When Hiroshi goes on a week-long business trip to Kyushu, the rest of the family travels with him to vacation at the home of Misae's childhood friend in rural "Asso", Kumamoto. Upon arriving at Kumamoto Station, the family is approached by Dr. Akuno, a mad scientist who gives Shinnosuke a camera that produces illustrations rather than photographs. Shortly after the Nohara family's arrival in Asso, Akuno reappears with a dinosaur he claims to have extracted from the past using time travel. When Shinnosuke witnesses Akuno summoning a dinosaur at his laboratory, Akuno puts Shinnosuke in a time loop that endlessly repeats the seven days of his vacation.

While the gameplay of Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation is loosely framed by Shinnosuke's quest to fill his vacation journal with pictures and search for interesting stories to print in the local newspaper, the player is generally free to spend their time as they see fit, with few set goals or obligations. The open-ended, laid-back nature of the gameplay was designed in order to appeal to a wide audience, from child-aged Shin-chan fans to adult fans of Boku no Natsuyasumi. The game includes an achievement system based on activities such as catching insects, fishing, growing vegetables, and running errands for the townspeople. Time passes from day to night, with certain activities and events exclusive to specific times of the day.

On Day 7, Cap pulled out an old newspaper clip about Hihiko Wall Painting uncovered which Shinchan's mom, Misae pointed out the similarity of Hihiko with Lalako much to Lalako's defense that it must be a coincidence. After breakfast, today was the day for Shinchan and his family to return to Kusakabe and the family take a picture together before the train arrived. At the same time, Akuno start the time machine and causes the entire week to repeat once again. Strangely enough, only Shinchan was affected by the machine and woke up on the first day of his summer vacation at the same train station where they took the train to Asso much to his confusion though his parents seem to think that Shinchan was still half-asleep, unaware of the time phenomenon. Arriving at Asso, he pointed out that he had been at the village before and as he realized that the same dinosarus were brought over to the same day as him because of the machine, he decided to start his day with Yoshiko (Age-gap date, huh...).

Now then...with the week repeating once again starting on Monday, let's start figuring out how to unlock the event that I haven't unlock and completed yet. Let's look around, Shinnosuke!
