I've said this before, but we really are getting quite a few assassin and spy-themed manga these days, often in the realms of comedy, romance, and slice of life. I suppose they're all in the mold of "dangerous delinquent (or gangster, yakuza, demon, vampire, etc) as significant other (or friend, mentor, etc)" plot to some degree.
But assassins in particular have stood out to me as showing up a lot lately...which feels a tad concerning. Not sure if there's anything to make out of that specifically, or if it's simply a trend of the moment.

It's a Spy X Family for horny/romantic teens, but its characters are dumber, younger & prettier.
(and no Anya)
EDIT: the main reason we're having so many new mangas about assassins it's because of the SxF success. Just in WSJ/J+ we have married in service assassins (SxF), married ex-assassins (Sakamoto Days), divorced de-aged ex-asssassins (Kill Blue), dumb fanservice asssassins (Kiruru Kill Me!), etc.
