Synopsis

The original Warau Salesman is a timeless masterpiece by legendary manga artist Fujiko Fujio. This omnibus-style story follows the mysterious salesman Moguro Fukuzou, who, dressed head-to-toe in a black suit, fills the emotional voids (“kokoro no sukima”) of troubled modern individuals. The series gained widespread popularity across all ages for its dark humor, iconic visual of Moguro, his devilish laugh, and the sinister twist: while he grants people’s desires and wishes, those who ignore his warnings or break their promises must pay a heavy price.

Staying true to Moguro Fukuzou’s dark and fairy tale-like world, the series will feature a diverse lineup of 12 episodes—some modernized adaptations of the original stories, and others entirely original. With a stellar team of screenwriters on board, the new Warau Salesman offers a fresh, contemporary take that promises to thrill and amuse both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
