The workplace comedy Gomon Baito-kun no Nichijo (The Everyday Lives of Part-Time Torturers) is ready to kick off 2026 with a bang — and a chuckle. A new trailer, main visual, and a full cast and staff reveal arrived today ahead of its January 4 premiere in Japan.

THE DARKLY WHOLESOME PREMISE

Set in a world where torture and assassination are regulated professions, the story follows a band of cheerful part-timers employed at Spirytus, a corporate contractor that only targets villains.

Despite the macabre nature of their work, the office vibe is surprisingly relaxed. There’s the compassionate senior Sero, the cold but brilliant Siu, the hyperactive Mike, and no-nonsense Hugh — not to mention janitors, cleaners, and even contract killers who all clock in like it’s a normal Tuesday.

Beneath the bizarre job titles lies a cozy, slice-of-life dynamic, making Gomon Baito-kun no Nichijo a unique blend of satire, workplace comedy, and *offbeat fantasy.
