Rather, it’s her brother, Nagi, a strong assassin who took a bullet to protect his sister, leaving him in a comatose state and having to use a wheelchair. However, Shizuka has figured out the key to waking her brother up: he must be faced with killing intent! Thus begins a violent journey of recovery, battling the most dangerous foes!

The anime stars:

Tadahiro Yoshihira (Knights of Sidonia: Love Woven in the Stars) and Hiroaki Ando (Kaina of the Great Snow Sea, Ajin) are directing the anime and writing the scripts at Polygon Pictures. (Yoshihira is also supervising the overall series scripts.) Yūki Moriyama (Blame!) is designing the characters. Masaru Yokoyama (Mashle: Magic and Muscles, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans) is composing the music. Kazuma Teshigahara (Kaina of the Great Snow Sea) is credited for production design.

Kodansha‘s K MANGA service is also publishing the series.

Yashiro debuted the manga on Kodansha‘s Magazine Pocket service in November 2022. The manga moved to Kodansha‘s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in November 2024. Kodansha published the manga’s 10th compiled book volume on March 26.
