Synopsis

Juuzou Oogami's a legend. Even among hit men, his name sends shivers down their spines. There's never been a job he couldn't handle—that is, until the day he awoke as a teenager! But how did his body transform? To find out, he'll have to infiltrate the one place he never thought he'd find himself in...school!

A story about a middle aged legendary hitman becoming a middle schooler is, surprisingly wholesome.
The action is good, the story is decent, the characters are great (we get a lot of variety for that I assure you) but most of all it's high school premise and all the stuff other than action is just so hilarious and genuinely fun to read.

If you want a chill read with some slick action panels, this is it.

Kill Blue may as well have gotten itself killed at the end there unfortunately. With the series ending in such a disappointing way, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this to any readers seeking a satisfying narrative.

With Ogami (mc) navigating this sudden physical age regression, there are many fun school-setting arcs, however none are quite groundbreaking to the overarching plot.

The largest concern for weekly readers has been if ...
