Way back in April 2024, we learned that the creator behind the manga series Killing Line confirmed that the series will be getting an English language adaptation with the publisher to be revealed. The manga began in 2023 as serialized in Be Love magazine for Kodansha and has three volumes released in Japan so far.
Now, the series is getting ready to draw to a close as it’s been confirmed that the upcoming chapter due out on May 30th, 2025, will be the final one.
Morie’s first published work was in 2007 with Kowairo Henge and Gakkou Hotel, and they have almost two dozen titles to their credit since then.
Be Love is a Japanese monthly manga magazine targeting women published by Kodansha. It debuted in September 1980.
Plot Concept: Abandoned on her 18th birthday by her absent single father, Mako struggles to make ends meet. When her friend offers to introduce her to a sugar daddy for a casual dinner and some conversation, it all seems straightforward and simple. Little does Mako know, someone else has their sights set on her date—a ruthless assassin on a mission to take out his target and leave no witnesses… Before she realizes it, Mako’s late-night liaison turns into a deadly encounter with a contract killer, and now, she’ll need to think fast, be resourceful, and turn on the charm to survive. Can she melt the heart of a cold-blooded hit man or will this potential beau get the best of her? Find out in this thrilling new black comedy with life-and-death stakes from the author of Searching for My Perfect Brother.
I got an inquiry about the English version of 'Killing Line', so I said yes.
