The popular
comedy manga Genkai OL Kirigiri Giriko (Office Lady Giriko Kirigiri to the
Extreme), created by Miitosupa Tsuchimoto, has announced a short anime
adaptation.
This
"light anime" will stream exclusively through the series' official X
and TikTok accounts, with new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday at 7:00 PM (UTC+2), beginning Tuesday, May 28.
A
Comedic Look at Extreme Culinary Survival
The story
follows the misadventures of Giriko Kirigiri, an office worker who resorts to
"extreme" foods to survive, such as untoasted bread seasoned only
with salt and MSG. This premise gives rise to absurd and comical situations
that have captivated readers in Shonen Jump+, where the manga has been
published every Tuesday since December 2024.
The
animated version will consist of 32 episodes of just 30 seconds each.
Additionally, a compilation episode will be released every Tuesday for those
who prefer to enjoy the content in bulk.
