Kill Blue Vol. 1
If you’re a fan of Shonen Jump, you might already be familiar with Kill Blue. From Tadatoshi Fujimaki, the creator of Kuroko’s Basketball, this manga puts a fresh spin on the “assassin with a twist” trope. Think SPY x FAMILY or Sakamoto Days, but with a unique premise. The main character, Juzo Ogami, is a highly skilled assassin who suddenly finds himself de-aged into a middle schooler!
As Ogami navigates the challenges of middle school life, he also takes on the role of protector for Noren, a pharmaceutical heir. He gets to experience things he missed out on the first time around, like joining clubs, enjoying learning, and even developing a passion for magical girl anime. Volume 1 is the perfect introduction to this fun and engaging series, which is quickly becoming a fan favorite in Shonen Jump.
Kill Blue Vol. 1 goes on sale June 3.

Girl Crush is poised to be the next big hit in the manga world. This manga by Midori Tayama tells the story of two girls chasing their dreams of K-pop stardom. It’s already a massive success in Japan, with half a million copies pre-sold. Now, Viz Manga is bringing it to English-speaking audiences.
The story centers around Tenka, who seems perfect in every way, and Erian, who is awkward but determined. Erian dreams of becoming a K-pop idol, but Tenka doubts she has what it takes. However, when Tenka’s crush shows interest in Erian, Tenka decides to pursue the same dream. Can her dedication to perfection help her succeed in the demanding world of K-pop, or will the industry require something more? With stunning artwork, well-developed characters, and a fascinating look into the K-pop industry, Girl Crush is a must-read.
