Happy Kanako's Killer Life

2025 · 2 seasons

A breezy, deadpan office comedy where mundane workplace gripes sit cheerfully beside casual killing, making it silly, stylish and easy to binge.

Overview: When Kanako accidentally applies to work at an assassination agency, the timid office worker discovers that she has a knack for bumping people off. Will she ever earn the respect of Sakurai, her prickly and kinda hot co-worker–and why is she still having silly workplace problems when she’s employed with hitmen?!
How it feels: Absurd, dark, light and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.

Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
