From December 25, 2025, Animate is throwing a big celebration for The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer (Gōmon Baito-kun no Nichijō) with a nationwide bonus fair, reprinted store extras for manga volumes 1–6, and two new books hitting shelves on the same day. If you’re an overseas fan wondering what you can get through Animate Online Shop, this guide walks you through every bonus, date, and campaign so you don’t miss a single card, leaflet, or limited manga page.
Animate Fair Guide for The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer
Starting December 25, 2025, Animate stores across Japan and Animate Online Shop will launch an anime adaptation memorial fair for The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer (Gōmon Baito-kun no Nichijō). During the event, which runs until March 1, 2026, every YA Comics volume you buy from 1 to 6 comes with a reprinted Animate bonus that originally came with that book. Stock is limited, so once each bonus runs out, it’s gone for good.
Manga Volumes 1–6 and Their Restored Bonus Items
The fair makes it easy to catch up on the series while picking up past goodies you might have missed:
・Volume 1 – reprinted illustration card
・Volume 2 – reprinted 4-page leaflet
・Volume 3 – reprinted 4-page leaflet
・Volume 4 – reprinted 4-page leaflet
・Volume 5 – reprinted double-sided manga card
・Volume 6 – reprinted double-sided manga card
Each volume purchased during the fair earns you the matching bonus for that exact volume, whether you buy in-store or via Animate Online Shop.
New Volume 7 and Kyūketsu Bar e Yōkoso 3 Linked Rewards
December 25 also marks the release of volume 7 of The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer. Fans can choose between a regular edition and a special edition that includes a 64-page booklet packed with short two-panel stories and new manga content, perfect if you love behind-the-scenes character moments. If you have been following the series on Young Animal Web, this is an easy upgrade for your shelf.
On the same day, Yawora Tsugumi’s BL comedy Kyūketsu Bar e Yōkoso（吸血バーへようこそ）volume 3 joins the YA Comics lineup. Buying Torturer volume 7 and Kyūketsu Bar e Yōkoso volume 3 together at Animate or Animate Online Shop earns you a B6-size 4-page leaflet with brand-new manga. At Animate Ikebukuro Main Store and via Animate Online Shop, you also get an extra double-sided manga card as a limited linked bonus.
If you want a closer look at the books themselves, you can check the product pages on Animate Online Shop for the special edition of volume 7 and for Kyūketsu Bar e Yōkoso volume 3.
Store Decorations, Fortune Feature and X Campaign Highlights
To keep the celebration going, Animate Ikebukuro Main Store will decorate the north building stairway walls between the 1st and 2nd floors from December 26, 2025, to January 15, 2026. Around the same time, Animate Times is publishing a text interview with creator Yawora Tsugumi and launching a lighthearted “daily fortune” feature themed around the series, with 35 different fortune results to discover.
There is also a connected X (Twitter) campaign. During the campaign window, fans who share their fortune result on X and follow the official Animate account (@animateinfo) will be entered into a lottery where two winners receive an eight-item original goods set. Be sure not to delete the automatically added hashtag, as it is required for entry.
Tips for Overseas Fans Using Animate Online Shop
Good news for overseas readers: purchases through Animate Online Shop count for this fair and its linked bonuses, just like in-store buys. If you live outside Japan, you may need a forwarding service or proxy that can receive packages domestically before shipping them to your country, so be sure to allow extra time for shipping and stock limits.
Because bonuses are “while supplies last,” preordering volume 7 and Kyūketsu Bar e Yōkoso volume 3, or placing your fair orders as early as possible, is your safest bet. With the TV anime adaptation set to air in winter 2026, this fair is a great chance to build your manga shelf, grab cute bonus items, and be fully ready when the part-time torturers hit TV screens.
If you want all the details straight from the source, take a look at the official fair announcement on Animate Times (Japanese) and start planning which volumes and bonuses you want to chase.
Want to stack your shelf before the anime airs? Check the fair details on the official news page, lock in your orders via Animate Online Shop, and share your fortune result on X if you’re aiming for that eight-item goods set.
