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?!

Why fans love it

The transition from a standard office desk to an assassination agency is rarely seamless. This 2025 series finds humor in the mundanity of corporate life by crashing it into the high-stakes world of professional hitmen. Kanako brings the typical problems of a regular office lady into a workplace where the primary job description involves liquidation rather than paperwork.

Non anchors the production as the titular character, navigating the absurdity of training for combat while still worrying about the professional approval of her prickly colleague, Sakurai. The show plays with the contrast between brutal talent and the awkward social dynamics of a desk job. It frames the protagonist as someone whose hidden potential for violence develops alongside the relatable, tedious inconveniences of climbing the professional ladder.
