Overview

Spoiler-free synopsis

In a society where torture is legal—and big business—Spirytus dominates the industry with skill, style, and surprisingly cheerful teamwork. Part-timers Cero, Shiu, Mikke, and Hugh tackle “client sessions,” office shenanigans, and even the occasional in-house assassin…all with a smile! Life at Spirytus proves that even in a world of pain, work can still be surprisingly fun!
