Juuzou Oogami's a legend. Even among hit men, his name sends shivers down their spines. There's never been a job he couldn't handle—that is, until the day he awoke as a teenager! But how did his body transform? To find out, he'll have to infiltrate the one place he never thought he'd find himself in...school!

A story about a middle aged legendary hitman becoming a middle schooler is, surprisingly wholesome.
The action is good, the story is decent, the characters are great (we get a lot of variety for that I assure you) but most of all it's high school premise and all the stuff other than action is just so hilarious and genuinely fun to read.
A Legendary Hitman going back to middle school apparently makes a good premise for a comedy huh.
There's nothing much else to say about it. It's good, not mind-blowing but good.
If you want a chill read with some slick action panels, this is it.

Kill Blue may as well have gotten itself killed at the end there unfortunately. With the series ending in such a disappointing way, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this to any readers seeking a satisfying narrative.

The beginning was generic and weak, amongst other Weekly Shonen Jump series serialising at the same time (e.g. Sakamoto Days) it really needed to stand out with the hitman/slice of life/battle element themes in order to stay afloat. With Ogami (mc) navigating this sudden physical age regression, there are many fun school-setting arcs, however none are quite groundbreaking to the overarching plot.

The largest concern for weekly readers has been if ...
