The Geek Ex-Hitman
Synopsis
The Oracle of Florence, Marco, is a legendary, peerless hitman feared throughout the Italian underworld, but now he’s trying to build a new reputation for himself-the biggest geek in all Japan! After getting introduced to the joys of otaku culture while out on a hit, Marco quickly gets so sucked in that he sets down his bloodstained mantle and moves to Japan to peacefully enjoy his new lifestyle. But he’ll soon find that even after turning over a new leaf, there isn’t much he can do about how sinister he seems to other people-especially the government agent on his tail, Viviana, whose skills as a spy are surpassed only by her burning passion for yaoi and BL…!

First thing first, I was surprised by how good the art was for what I thought at the beginning was a B-movie-like manga. It is consistent during the whole serie and a real plus for me, who like this kind of drawing style.
We follow the life of ex-hitman Marco who decided to live the otaku life in Japan, cutting ties with his dark past. Don't be mistaken, what we have here is 100% action-comedy, filled with love for the otaku world. Big bonus if BL misunderstandings are your laughing material ;)
Several new characters are introduced along the way and we reach a 4-persons group of read more

The Geek Ex-Hitman is a well-drawn manga with a lot of silly plot lines and characters, with one message at the heart of it. Be yourself! It's essentially the tale of a talented Hitman who runs away to Japan to become a weeb and collecting figures of his favourite character. You don't really leave something so dangerous though, so it's about him making friends of a similar calibre and getting out of situations that his previous employers are putting him into. I really do appreciate the messaging behind it, and the themes of friendship and read more
