Crunchyroll, and Netflix, have recently confirmed that the anime KILL BLUE will begin simulcast streaming in the UK from 11th April 2026. KILL BLUE offers a story that sees a legendary hitman adapt to his new life after waking-up as a 13-year-old boy.
This anime series is adapted from the manga of the same name by Tadatoshi Fujimaki and is being animated by Studio CUE. The original manga chapters were serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, with volumes being released in English speaking regions by VIZ Media.
Synopsis: Legendary hitman Juzo Ogami has never failed an assignment. But after a mission, he’s stung by a mysterious wasp and wakes up in the body of a 13-year-old boy!

Now the once-feared assassin must balance the chaos of school life with his deadly work, all while searching for a way to regain his adult body!
