The online magazine Shōnen Jump+ announced last Tuesday that the manga Romantic Killer will receive an anime adaptation, which will premiere on Netflix on October 27. The following day, the platform itself released the first official teaser with English subtitles on YouTube, which also includes a preview of the title song "ROMA☆KiRA" by singer YURiKA, serving as the series' opening theme.



Rie Takahashi plays the protagonist Anzu Hoshino, while Mikako Komatsu voices Riri.

Romantic Killer is a shōnen manga written and illustrated by Wataru Momose. It was serialized from July 2019 until its completion just over a year later in June 2020 in Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+. The publisher compiled the work into 4 volumes.

Anzu Hoshino is an "anti-heroine," a high school student who doesn't care about things like fashion or romance and spends every day playing video games. When the witch Riri suddenly appears, Anzu is forced to participate in the Magic World project to halt the population decline. This romantic comedy shows what happens when Anzu transitions from a life surrounded by her three favorite things (video games, chocolate, and cats) to a life surrounded by handsome boys. Anzu insists she never wanted to live in a dating simulation game. She meets a painfully popular handsome boy, a neat and athletic childhood friend, and a beautiful, wealthy young man who knows nothing of the outside world. As they interact with Anzu, they gradually begin to change.
