Viz Media publishes the manga in English under the name Kill Blue, and it will release the fourth volume on December 9th, 2025. Viz Media describes the manga below:
“Juzo Ogami’s a legend. Even among hit men, his name sends shivers down spines. There’s never been a job he couldn’t handle—that is, until the day he wakes up as a teenager! But how has his body transformed? To find out, he’ll have to infiltrate the one place he thought he’d never find himself in again…school!”
It was announced in August this year that the manga would also be adapted into a TV anime in 2026.
