About Gōmon Baito-kun no Nichijō
The anime is based on Yawora Tsugumi’s manga, which has garnered attention for its unconventional premise and comedic approach to a dark subject.
Manga’s Origins and Premise
Gōmon Baito-kun no Nichijō began serialization on Hakusensha’s Manga Park and Young Animal Web services in December 2022. The series is described as a “dark workplace comedy” and has accumulated six tankōbon volumes as of June 2025. Its unique blend of humor and a peculiar setting has resonated with readers, earning it recognition in the 2023 Next Manga Awards and the 2023 Web Manga General Election.
The World of Spirytus Corporation
The story is set in an unusual world where both murder and torture are legal. Within this bizarre reality, numerous “torture contract companies” operate. The manga centers on the Spirytus Corporation, which is portrayed as a “top-tier ‘white company'” known for treating its employees well and only targeting “bad guys.” The plot follows part-time workers Sero and Siu, along with newcomers Mike and Hugh, as they navigate their daily lives and tasks within this surprisingly comfortable yet gruesome workplace. The appeal often lies in the stark contrast between the relaxed, homely office environment and the brutal nature of their jobs.
