The anthropomorphic comedy Africa Salaryman has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The series, adapted from Kakeru Utsugi's manga, follows the daily grind of a lion, a lizard, and a toucan as they navigate the absurdities of corporate life in Japan.
Produced by Production I.G., the 12-episode series leans heavily into workplace humor and cultural satire, presenting a unique, often bizarre, take on the salaryman experience through its animalistic cast. While the premise is inherently comedic, the show also touches on themes of prejudice and integration, filtered through its unique lens.
With the entire series available to stream, it offers a compact, albeit unconventional, binge for viewers seeking something outside the typical shonen or fantasy fare. The show originally aired in Fall 2019.
