About the series
A darkly comedic shonen action manga from Ki-oon, Kindergarten Wars launched in 2024 and reimagines the "tough school" genre with a deceptively cute premise. The series follows a kindergarten staffed by ex-assassins and criminals, with its most dangerous teacher—codename "Rita"—tasked with protecting the children from rival killers. Written and illustrated by You Chiba, the series has quickly gained attention for its sharp contrast between adorable art and brutal, fast-paced fight sequences. With 13 issues and counting, it's a standout for fans of stylish, high-concept action with a twisted sense of humor.
