☆Anime Adaptation Confirmed☆ Teaser PV for 『幸せカナコの殺し屋生活』 Released!! TV Anime Set to Air from April 2027!

Toshiya Wakabayashi's four-panel manga Happy Kanako's Killer Life will receive a TV anime adaptation in April 2027. It follows Nishino Kanako, who leaves a toxic workplace and unexpectedly takes a job

After quitting her exploitative company, Kanako Nishino joins an assassination-for-hire company while looking for a better job. 『幸せカナコの殺し屋生活』 is a comedy centered on this unexpected career change, and the TV anime is scheduled to air in Japan from April 2027. The exact premiere date and broadcast channels have not yet been announced.

A Teaser That Begins Like a Job Advertisement

The released teaser PV opens with a scene resembling an employment agency advertisement, featuring a real small-clawed otter. It then transitions to animated scenes of Kanako deciding to change jobs and discovering that her new workplace is an assassination-for-hire organization. By juxtaposing a deadly profession with bright, upbeat advertising language, the teaser briefly conveys the work’s comedic direction.

Three People at the New Workplace

Kanako is voiced by Hana Tsukishiro, senior colleague Sakurai by Ryota Suzuki, and the president by Junichi Suwabe. Shinji Takamatsu directs, and Drive handles animation production. The work’s premise begins with the contrast between Kanako’s new employer, which promotes stable employment conditions, and the fact that its business is contract killing.

The Distance Between the Original and the Anime

The original work is a four-panel manga by Toshiya Wakabayashi. The key question raised by this announcement is how the TV anime will expand the short-form career-change and workplace gags through scene progression and pacing. By placing the otter imagery alongside Kanako’s flustered reaction, the teaser emphasizes the perspective of a character adapting to an unfamiliar workplace more than violence itself.
