What to Expect from “Hotel Inhumans”
“Hotel Inhumans” isn’t your typical hospitality establishment. Sure, it boasts top-class dining, relaxation, and entertainment, but it also caters to a very specific clientele: assassins. This unique hotel offers its guests an ever-fresh arsenal of weapons, false identity creation services, and a world-class cleaning crew to take care of… well, let’s just say “inconveniences.”
The story revolves around the hotel’s two concierges, Sara Haizaki and Ikuro Hoshi, who navigate the treacherous world of professional killers. Their motto? Never say “no” to a guest, no matter how outlandish or dangerous the request. The anime promises to explore the dark underbelly of the hospitality industry, where luxury and violence intertwine.

Manga Nearing Its End

The manga has been serialized on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry website since June 2021, and as of March 2025, ten tankōbon volumes have been released.
A Word from the Creators
The original author, Ao Tajima, shared their excitement about the anime adaptation:
” ‘Hotel Inhumans’ is going to be made into an anime! I’ve been in such a state of shock since I first heard about it that I thought it was a dream. As the original author and as one of the viewers, I’m very happy that there’s so much to look forward to in the future. I hope you’ll enjoy the story of Sara and Ikuo, who talk and move in a world of color and sound, and the assassins together with me.”
Hinano Shirahama, the voice actress for Sara Haizaki, commented on the humanity of the assassins:
“Inhumans is a word that means ‘inhuman,’ but what impressed me strongly when I read the original work was the humanity of the assassins. Sara is a very attractive character who shows her cuteness at times, even though she is shrouded in mystery. I am facing her with the help of so many people. I will do my best to make it a wonderful work! Thank you!”
Koharu, who is composing the music, had this to say:
“I packed as much of it as I could into the music. I am honored to be involved in this work. By the way, this work will be the first anime music I will create. I’m so happy.”
