Here’s a new one for your “Did-not-see-that-coming” anime list — Yawora Tsugumi’s dark workplace comedy, Gōmon Baito-kun no Nichijō (拷問バイトくんの日常 or The Everyday Life of Torture Part-Time Workers), is officially getting a TV anime adaptation!
The Everyday Life of Torture Part-Time Workers Official Anime Teaser
Kadokawa dropped the bombshell alongside a teaser visual, cast announcement, and a PV, all confirming that the series will debut in Winter 2026. And yes, it’s as twisted (and hilarious) as the title sounds.
What is Gōmon Baito-kun no Nichijō About?
Picture this: a world where murder and torture are legal, and “torture contract companies” operate like legit corporate firms. But here’s the twist — our story centers around a company that actually cares about its employees, only goes after bad guys, and serves up a healthy work-life balance. Yep, it’s capitalism with chains and whips… but with benefits.
The show follows Cero and Shiu, two part-time pros at the “Spirytus” torture company. They’re soon joined by newbies Mikke and Hugh, and together, this unlikely team navigates the blood-soaked world of… casual workplace banter and legal torture tactics.
It’s got dark humor, slice-of-life workplace chaos, and a shockingly wholesome undercurrent — think Cells at Work! meets Hellsing… in a corporate HR department.
Cast Reveal: Meet the Spirytus Crew
Kadokawa gave us a first look at the voice cast and the eccentric characters they’ll bring to life:
| Character | Voice Actor | Personality |
|---|---|---|
| Cero | Shunichi Toki | Spirytus’ reliable ace who gets along with everyone |
| Shiu | Takuma Terashima | A torture world legend — cool, seasoned, and stoic |
| Mikke | Takuma Nagatsuka | Energetic, cute newbie with a bubbly spirit |
| Hugh | Yōhei Azakami | A serious, kind-hearted university student new to the job |
Tsugumi even dropped a celebratory illustration to mark the anime announcement — and it’s as cheeky and darkly adorable as you’d expect.

Why AnimeKing Readers Should Keep an Eye on This

And with Winter 2026 already stacked with serious contenders, this twisted gem might just sneak up as a surprise hit.
