The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer

In a world where torture is legalized as a business, Spirytus runs the scene with style, speed, and an oddly sunny culture. The show follows a crew of part-time workers who handle client sessions, office chaos, and the occasional in-house assassination mission, all with a grin. Cero, Shiu, Mike, and Hugh spark quick banter and brisk problem solving as they juggle schedules, office politics, and the occasional glitch in the system. Bright animation and sci-fi gadgetry give the workplace a comic glow, while punchlines land on miscommunications and the clash between corporate buzzwords and real consequences. The result is a brisk slice of life that treats a grim premise with playful energy.

Created by Yawora Tsugumi and Hitomi Amamiya, this original concept features animation and a voice cast led by Shunichi Toki as Cero, Takuma Terashima as Shiu, Takuma Nagatsuka as Mike, Yohei Azakami as Hugh, and Kisho Taniyama as Hela.

At its core the series looks at work life under a brutal business, pairing light humor with a sharp look at power and profit. The banter among Cero Shiu Mike and Hugh hints at loyalty and ambition, while the setup asks how far people will go for a smile.
