PUNCH LINE

A hijacking leaves Yuta outside his own body, trapping him in a boarding house comedy where supernatural rules connect embarrassment with global disaster.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

After a bus hijacking, Yuta Iridatsu finds himself separated from his physical body. Returning to it becomes urgent because his new spiritual condition includes an unusual hazard: seeing too much underwear can trigger a global catastrophe. His boarding house is poorly designed for this restriction.

Super Eyepatch Fox

A violent hijacking knocks Yuta's spirit out of his body. He wakes as an unseen resident of his own boarding house and needs to regain physical control. Supernatural rules complicate the task, especially one linking accidental glimpses of underwear to an extinction-level event.

Gigguku

PUNCH LINE starts with a hijacking, throws Yuta out of his own body, then establishes that seeing panties could help destroy the planet! It is shamelessly ridiculous, yet the boarding house becomes a supernatural puzzle box where every door and awkward accident feels dangerously charged.

Father's Basement

The premise weaponizes adolescent embarrassment so literally that rejection is a reasonable first response. What keeps it moving is commitment. Yuta becomes a displaced spirit inside a crowded boarding house, and the ridiculous underwear rule functions as part of a larger supernatural problem rather than a detached gag.

When your day begins with being held hostage in a hijacking, can things get much worse? How about being kicked out of your own body?

What defines it

A frantic sci-fi comedy from MAPPA and Zero Escape writer Kotaro Uchikoshi. Twisty and manic.
