posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
This year's 40th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Monday that Tadatoshi Fujimaki's Kill Blue manga is getting a television anime adaptation in 2026.

The same issue of Weekly Shonen Jump published the manga's final chapter on Monday. The manga's 11th volume will ship on September 4, the 12th volume on November 4, and the 13th volume on December 4.
Hiro Kaburagi (Great Pretender, Hozuki's Coolheadedness, My Little Monster) is directing the anime at CUE, and Miho Daidōji (animation director for Kuroko's Basketball TV anime's 3 seasons and Last Game film) is designing the characters.

Viz Media is publishing the manga digitally and in print, and it describes the first volume:
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!
Viz Media will release the third volume in print on October 14. MANGA Plus is also releasing the manga digitally.
Fujimaki launched the Robot × Laserbeam manga in March 2017, and ended the seven-volume series in June 2018. Viz Media published the manga digitally in English.
Fujimaki serialized his Kuroko's Basketball manga in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2008-2014. The manga inspired three television anime series, two compilation anime films, a new anime film, a sequel manga, a light novel, a spinoff manga, and a series of stage plays. Viz Media also published the manga in English.
Fujimaki published a one-shot in Weekly Shonen Jump in January 2020, and then published an "academy comedy action" one-shot manga titled "Kiruaoharu" in December 2021.
