Kill Blue · review
Tentative: 8/10 This is one of the series I’m most hopeful about from the current newer Jump crop. It isn’t anything earth-shattering and the basic premise has been done before, but it is fun and the combination of the characters, situations, and profession make for an engaging mix of elements. It has comedy and enjoyable action, and I’m interested to see where it goes. It’s hard to tell this early in the run and I may change the score later, but my score reflects that for a new manga I think it’s very promising and people should give it a shot. There are a lot offactors both in and out of the artist’s and Jump’s control, but with continued good writing, a focus that’s maintained, and the right circumstances I could see this one catching on and becoming a reader favorite, or at least solidly liked and in the middle of their rankings. If it’s able to stay consistent, I could also see this getting a successful anime release.
