Goumon Baito-kun no Nichijou

Overview

Goumon Baito-kun no Nichijou, known in English as The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer, is a 12-episode TV anime from Diomedéa that began airing on 4/1/2026. It adapts the manga by Yawora Tsugimi, directed by Fumitoshi Oizaki with series composition by Hitomi Amamiya. The genre is comedy and slice of life, set in a rather dark premise.

OtaHub's take

In a society where torture is legal and big business, the company Spirytus dominates the industry with skill, style and surprisingly cheerful teamwork. The four part-timers Cero, Shiu, Mikke and Hugh handle client sessions, office shenanigans and even the occasional in-house assassin, all with a smile. The show suggests that even in a world of pain, work can still be fun.

Verdict

A fit for viewers who like dark comedy mixed with office-life scenes, as long as they can handle the torture theme even though it is told in a light tone. This is the first season, so you can start from episode one.
