Kindergarten Wars

Kindergarten Wars (Japanese: 幼稚園WARS, Hepburn: Yōchien Wars) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by You Chiba. It began serialization on Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ app and website in September 2022. Its chapters have been collected in eleven tankōbon volumes as of September 2024.

Plot

The story takes place in Kindergarten Noir, known as "the world's safest kindergarten". Hosting the children of politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and other VIPs, Kindergarten Noir prevents them from would-be assassins and kidnappers by employing former criminals as teachers in exchange for reduced sentences. Rita, also known as Convict #999, is a former assassin who finds herself working at Kindergarten Noir—both to get a reduced sentence by acting as a bodyguard and to find a hot guy along the way.
