Oh, by the way, my favorite is Hachiware.
I apologize if there are similar works already. ### Worldview The setting is a mysterious and slightly absurd world where cute little creatures live. There are meadows, forests, plazas, residential areas, and shops. The characters live their lives eating, playing with friends, and working. While it appears to be a cute and peaceful world at first glance, dangerous enemies and terrifying events also exist. Moments of unease and sadness occasionally drift into their fun daily lives. ### Work and Life - There are jobs such as weeding and monster extermination. - To perform work, there is a system of qualifications and rewards based on the content. - Characters use their rewards to buy food or things they want. - In addition to labor, studying, exams, and going out with friends are part of daily life. - Even if they work hard, things don't always go as planned. ### Extermination Extermination is the job of getting rid of dangerous creatures and enemies. There are various types of targets, differing in strength and danger level. Extermination involves risk, making weapons, skill, and cooperation with allies vital. ### Qualifications and Rewards Some jobs require qualifications; passing exams expands the range of available work. Rewards are received as the result of labor. Characters use these rewards to purchase food and other items. ### The Armor Guys Beings clad in armor. They play various roles, such as running shops or being involved in work assignments. There are the Ramen Armor Guy, the Pochette Armor Guy, and the Labor Armor Guy, among others. ### Atmosphere of the World While there is cuteness, friendship, delicious food, and the joy of working hard, there are also harsh realities and unreasonable events. The gap between the heartwarming daily life and the sudden, tense developments is a defining feature.
