The Sero and Noe rivalry’s pretty funny and I enjoyed seeing how Sero got his start. The torture business sure attracts some eccentric types huh?

melindypants2026-01-21 12:36

At first when they did the flashback I was like who is the blonde guy? Someone that quit or did unlawful torture? Then when they revealed it was Sero because he dyed his hair I facepalmed because how did I not realize this instantly lol

Wonder if big tobacco sponsors this anime given that cigarettes are recommended to help you through a tough day at work.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-18 22:29

With this, Kowloon and the Supermarket one, Big Tobacco's all in on anime!

Lulukassu2026-01-19 06:33

Supermarket anime with smoking?

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-19 08:34

Aptly titled ["Smoking behind the supermarket with you"!](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1qe4f82/smoking_behind_the_supermarket_with_you_teaser_pv/)

Oh wow. I remember a ton of people talking about this manga, never got around to it.

Thanks 🫳🤛

dakkumauji2026-01-18 18:19

Meeting Hela and Noe was great and I did enjoy the past scenes of starting the company and seeing Sero join up.

And boy, while this isn't BL, that cigarette scene was pretty BL.

testthrowawayzz2026-01-18 19:35

There were a lot of BL-like scenes in this episode for something that's not a BL

gem2niki2026-01-18 23:31

BL adjacent haha.

Lulukassu2026-01-19 06:34

Fujo-bait

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-18 18:33

This show is too wholesome even though they work in the torture industry. It's sweet how Siu did end up taking Mike's advice and try to be nicer to Sero just in case, but Sero knows Siu too well that he wouldn't do that normally so it had the opposite effect lol.

Sero and Noe's dynamic is interesting, they act like teenagers with one another.

Siu's short hair looks so good on him.

I wonder if we'll get to see Hela's torture methods.

Megadragon8982026-01-18 18:34

I'm really curious how the torture system works after hearing the whole torture ordinary people thing earlier. Does that mean that if for example a wife hire someone to torture her cheating husband, it is legal or is it illegal? At what degree does it become a crime to torture someone?

I kinda want to see how Hera is doing torture, just to see the others reactions lol. Noe is cute getting jealous over Hera, him and Sero are like little Kids fighting.

I like the little warm moments in the anime like Sero Shiu friendship despite the story about torture, it’s a really heartwarming anime.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-18 22:31

> I'm really curious how the torture system works after hearing the whole torture ordinary people thing earlier. Does that mean that if for example a wife hire someone to torture her cheating husband, it is legal or is it illegal? At what degree does it become a crime to torture someone?

While they addressed it just a little in this episode, I feel like we don't have the full legislastion yet... But I'm inclined to think it might be more "frowned upon" than "illegal"?

And that this company refuses to do it to maintain a proper appearance and all.

artwhaaa2026-01-23 23:43

I'm also curious about their legal torture system! Sero says that people confirmed to be evil (villains) can be tortured - I heard "akunin" (villain) not "hannin" (criminal) so I wonder how does a person get designated a villain and how does this differ from a criminal?

I noticed the poster shown after Sero and President deliver that information says "ihou" which usually means "illegal" but I suppose could also be non-compliance in a work place?
From the poster:
Illegal torture is absolutely not allowed.
Please report if found.
(Bottom line cut off so I can't make out all the kanji)

And of course there's the whole licensing thing and store that only sells to licensed professionals. Interesting world the author has here! I'm curious if there's also heroes, since the baddies are called villains and not criminals. (Or if the torturers are the secret anti-heroes! Lol)

testthrowawayzz2026-01-18 19:35

Noe and Sero looks like one of those tsundere rivals.

Sero's backstory was interesting. Looks like one needs to be masochistic and be tolerant to gore to survive in this field

Niwaka_Samurai2026-01-18 20:55

The male characters and their dynamics are fine but I wish they would introduce some female torturers. It would be so perfect and attract audience.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-18 22:30

There seems to be one in the OP, so we'll see!

(But they claimed it was rare because torture's a physical job and all... Hey, psychological torture is a thing too!)

Niwaka_Samurai2026-01-19 04:37

Yeah, I saw that. Might be Sero's love interest. But why wouldn't women overwhelm Men in physique..I would love to see a muscle mommy break fingers.

Shorty thought Prez was a girl, but no such luck!

Funny how [Prez likes empathetic people, ](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/4c868db82b71.png)

[and Noe likes people who make him feel safe...](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/c4c7c7a9e35b.png)

What a line of work they picked!

[Ah, I was wondering about that in a previous episode, how regulated this was!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/9b844805cf54.png)

Sometimes it takes a man to be best girl

gem2niki2026-01-18 23:30

A lot of backstory this episode with more character introductions. Wait, Sero has been a part timer for 3 years?!! No full time employment? That cigarette sharing scene shook me.

anti-valentine2026-01-19 02:43

I love this show so much. Huge BL vibes. Always a fan of that, lol. But also I just always a have a giant smile the whole time im watching.

Also Hela is my new love. He is the best.

melindypants2026-01-21 12:37

Same - I love my BL adjacent shows, especially since we don't get many of both anyways.
