Marriagetoxin Anime Where Romance Meets Deadly Action:

Marriagetoxin originally started publishing on Shonen Jump+ in 2022, and gained immense popularity amongst fans of dark romance that blends naturally with family drama, and assassin-style action.

The story revolves around Hikaru Gero, the heir to a family of poison assassins, who soon faces a moral dilemma when his sister is forced into an unwanted fate.

So, to defend her, he has to balance his duty, marriage, and combat against deadly rivals.

The plot is full of action and will be animated by Studio Bones, the powerhouse behind some of the renowned titles like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, My Hero Academia, and Mob Psycho 100.

Moreover, the anime will be directed by Motonobu Hori along with music by Taisei Iwasaki. Haruki Ishiya voices Hikaru, with Shion Wakayama as Mei.

Kill Blue Anime Where A Hitman Turned Middle-Schooler:

The next anime that must blow your mind with the title is anime from well appraised creator of Kuroko’s Basketball, Tadatoshi Fujimaki.

But this one comes with a twist that no one expects. Definitely this is not your traditional shounen anime.

The story revolves around Juzo Ogami, a 40-year-old hitman, who is unexpectedly transformed into a 12-year-old, okay I know this sounds odd but trust the process.

After a tragic genetic mishappening involving a wasp. He was forced to attend middle school, and now he must juggle daily student life with the instincts of a seasoned assassin.
