TV Tokyo to Stream Shugo Chara and Skip Beat via Crunchyroll

Humberto Saabedra

CrunchyRoll has announced that it will stream the Shugo Chara and Skip Beat shojo titles via license from TV Tokyo.

This follows the previous announcement earlier in the week that TV Tokyo would begin to stream various shows on CrunchyRoll such as Naruto Shippuden, Gintama, and other titles that were previously unannounced on a week delayed basis after the Japanese airing for subscribers with ad-supported streams another week after.

Shugo Chara and Skip Beat have been two of the most popular shojo series on the streaming service and rumors were circulating that they would be the next shows to be announced for legal streaming.
