Synopsis

Kindergarten Noir is widely known as the world's safest kindergarten. Attended by the children of wealthy and notable figures, its defenses are seemingly impenetrable, even though assassination attempts are a big part of the daily routine. However, the teachers of the kindergarten are far from ordinary—they are all convicted criminals trying to reduce their sentences.

The recently joined legendary assassin named Rita is no different. According to her contract, she must work as a teacher for a full year to be released. Rita quickly proves her worth with unmatched combat skills, but even the notorious assassin has a weakness: she longs for a handsome boyfriend, which leaves her vulnerable in combat when faced with a particularly attractive opponent. Rita and her colleagues continue to ensure the children's safety to gain freedom, but Rita never stops looking for the man of her dreams.

With Spy x Family and Buddy Daddies, the juxtaposition of assassins and child care has been proven to be a great narrative formula. Youchien Wars takes that formula up a notch by setting the story in a kindergarten run by literal criminals.

Youchien Wars distinguish itself from other shounen-action-childcare titles by sprinkling in tons of over-the-top rom-com gags and direct reference to shoujo manga. And by putting the adults in the center stage of the story, it remains true to the formula while offering something new for those starting to get tired of the constant nagging of preschoolers. This adult assassins centered story does ...

Preliminary (75/? eps)
I really like Kindergarten Wars. It's an unapologetically silly comedy that consistently manages to be fun and make me laugh. A lot of the running gags, although extremely similar in setup and execution, are played JUST differently enough each time that it never feels stale. I'm

The characters are all fun and likable and have sympathetic backstories that do a good job at making you root for them. The story, in all honesty, is pretty basic but a series like this doesn't really need some super complex plot or anything. That being said, there have definitely been some lorebait hints of something deeper going on ...

I've read the 1st volume. My attitude when I picked up this manga was like "another manga based on the lack of plot and situational scenes". How wrong I was.
This manga is funny and nicely drawn, and the plot and characters, although simple - are well written. I really had a great time! I don't like comedy mangas without a main plot line, I rarely have fun with such, but here the first 2 chapters were like that, and then we get BOOM - intrigue. It surprised and interested me. I will definitely read more.

Just to be clear: it's not a brilliant manga, ...
