Sero is the caring senior who looks out for everyone. Siu is a living legend and a low-key guy who smokes and keeps his cool. Mike is the energetic one with a cat-like personality. And Hugh is serious but kind-hearted. Together, they work at Spirytus, one of the leading torture contractors that only goes after bad guys.The gap between their super chill workplace vibes and the gruesome torture they do is what makes The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer so addictive.The cast is solid, too. Shunichi Toki (Kazutora Hanemiya from Tokyo Revengers) voices Sero, Takuma Terashima (Shiroe from Log Horizon) plays Siu, Takuma Nagatsuka (Miya Chen from SK8 the Infinity) is Mike, and Yohei Azakami (Ron Kamonohashi from Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions) voices Hugh.Additional cast members include Kisho Taniyama (Chuya Nakahara from Bungo Stray Dogs) as Hera, the president of Spirytus with a big sister vibe, and Rikuya Yasuda (Myurin from As Miss Beelzebub Likes.) as Noe, an employee who hates blood and gets dragged around by the sloppy part-timers.There's also Nozomi Yamamoto (Julie Sigtuna from Absolute Duo) as Bertha, a torture instrument shop owner. Kozue Yuki (Itsuka Yukihara from Deaimon), and Satsuki Hatori as twin sisters Leu and Nero, and Tomohiro Ono (Makoto Shibe from Tomodachi Game) as Fon, a somewhat smelly garbage shop owner.The team behind the animeFumitoshi Oizaki is directing The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer at studio Diomedia. Hitomi Amamiya is handling series composition. Shibuya Shu is in charge of character design. And the music is composed by Kenji Fujisawa.The opening theme is GO GO PARADISE!! by GRANRODEO, and it’s about as heart-pounding as they get. The ending theme is Tomorrow's Weather by Takuma Terashima, who also voices Siu. It’s a song about people who work the daily grind, and it couldn’t be more perfect for The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer. Both songs contribute to the show’s singular blend of dark humor and unexpected warmth.From the trailers, it's clear we're getting fast-paced comedy with unique characters and torture instruments that somehow don't feel too heavy. The art style is sharp, and the tone balances the darkness of torture with the lightheartedness of workplace comedy. Fans who love dark humor with heart are going to eat this up.ConclusionSo jot down the month of January 2026.
