About the series
Wataru Momose's Romantic Killer (2022–2023) is a four-issue manga comedy from Viz Media that flips the romantic-comedy script. It follows a young woman who loves video games, junk food, and her cat—until a mysterious matchmaking wizard forcibly yanks her into a world of high-school romance tropes. Momose both writes and draws the series, adapting the original Japanese story with translator Adrienne Beck, creating a fast-paced, self-aware satire of the genre. This short but sharp series matters for its fresh, gamer-girl protagonist and its gleeful skewering of romantic clichés.
