Anime Like Baito Saki wa "Aku no Soshiki"?!
Arihisa takes a job at an evil organization because the health insurance is better than starving. The premise is absurd, but the show commits to it completely, henchmen clocking in for shifts, filing paperwork between villain attacks, worrying about overtime pay while actual heroes try to kill them. It's a comedy that understands the economics of villainy better than most shows understand their own plots, turning the gap between "working a job" and "dying for a cause you don't believe in" into something genuinely funny. The romance sneaks up on you because it grows from the mundane: two people showing up to the same terrible workplace, doing terrible work together, learning they can survive it. Nobody talks about this one.
SYNOPSIS
Arihisa Aokura needs cash fast. With a house full of orphans depending on him, he can't afford to be picky about employment. A job posting catches his eye: decent pay, solid benefits, flexible hours. The catch? His new employer is a full-fledged evil organization called Antares, and he's hired as a henchman. What starts as a simple gig supporting his siblings becomes something far more complicated. Arihisa finds himself caught between genuine camaraderie with his coworkers and the constant threat of heroic interference. Every mission puts him at odds with righteous fighters determined to stop their schemes. Meanwhile, his personal stakes remain painfully real: fail at this job, and his family starves. The series balances genuine action and peril with absurdist humor, treating the "evil organization" premise with a playful wink while keeping Arihisa's desperation grounded. He's not a villain by choice, just a kid trying to survive in a world where his employment happens to be on the wrong side of justice. Watching him juggle impossible situations, terrible workplace dynamics, and hero battles while staying focused on his primary goal creates something unexpectedly compelling.
