Shueisha‘s MANGA Plus website publishes the Kindergarten WARS manga digitally. Yen Press will publish the manga’s first volume physically in April 2025. Yen Press describes the story:
Rita is Convict 999, a former legendary assassin who now works at a kindergarten for the children of world leaders. Her job is to protect the schoolchildren from the clutches of would-be assassins sent after them! But even with her overwhelming strength, Rita has a weakness—she’s head-over-heels for good-looking men!
Chiba launched the manga on Shueisha‘s Shonen Jump+ app and website in September 2022. Shueisha will publish the manga’s 12th compiled book volume on November 1.
