Spiraken Manga Review Ep 620: Kindergarten Wars

In this episode, Xan enrolls in Kindergarten Wars by You Chiba,

a shonen action-comedy that takes the "assassins at school" premise and cranks it up to eleven. Set in a kindergarten for VIP children where the teachers are ex-criminals working off their sentences, this manga knows exactly what it is—and runs with it.

In This Episode:

• Discussing the familiar "assassins and school" setup and how it compares to series like Assassination Classroom, Mission: Yozakura Family, and Full Metal Panic—while doing something distinctly its own.

• Why Rita, Convict #999, makes for a surprisingly hilarious and compelling protagonist.

• The latest manga releases for the week.
