Accidentally an Assassin? Yes, Please.
This was such a funny watch, like way funnier than it had any right to be considering it’s literally about a woman who quits her job and becomes a full-on assassin?? And yet, it was lighthearted, cute, and just all-around chaotic good energy.
So basically, Kanako gets fed up with her boring office job, says "peace out", and ends up trying to find a new gig. But instead of, like, becoming a barista or something, she accidentally joins a hitman agency. Relatable, right? Her first target ends up being her abusive ex-boss (karma is real), and she just... kills him, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. The boss of the agency sees her talent and is like, “Yep, you’re hired.”
The whole thing is played for laughs, classic Japanese comedy style, and somehow they pull it off. Like, murder but make it funny. The vibe is so absurd in the best way.
Every character was such a win. I even liked Hosomi, who is 100% a wild-eyed psychopath, but you kind of love him for it?? He’s just doing his unhinged little best. And then there’s Sakurai, the cold, emotionless killer guy who’s always threatening Kanako with “I’ll kill you” like it's his version of saying hi. But let’s be real, he’s totally soft for her. Their dynamic is so chaotic and entertaining, I couldn’t get enough.
Also, can we talk about the little animated animals that appear on Kanako’s shoulder to show how she’s feeling? Like??? Genius. She literally talks to them. They’re adorable and hilarious and honestly added so much charm to everything.
The show doesn’t take itself too seriously, which I loved. It’s sharp, quirky, and somehow makes being a contract killer seem like the most wholesome career pivot ever.
Overall I Loved it. Laughed. Would watch again. Chaotic energy.
Totally worth it if you're into comedy with a side of unexpected murder and animated emotional support animals.
