"Kill Me Baby" (キルミーベイベー, Kiru Mī Beibē) is a Japanese four-panel manga series written and illustrated by Kaduho, which began serialization in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Carat magazine in July 2008. The story revolves around the daily school life of high school student Yasuna Oribe, her assassin friend Sonya, and the ninja Agiri Goshiki. Yasuna is an airheaded girl who often annoys Sonya, a trained killer, yet Sonya sometimes displays moments of concern for her. Agiri is a mysterious ninja who often pops into their lives, adding to the comedic chaos. The series is known for its unique brand of humor, exaggerated character movements, and unexpected plot twists. In 2012, the manga was adapted into a 13-episode TV anime series produced by J.C.STAFF, followed by an OVA episode released in October of the same year. The anime retains the manga's style, further boosting its popularity. Despite the somewhat average animation, its over-the-top comedy and character interactions remain popular among fans. The series has also spawned various merchandise, including drama CDs, music albums, and games.
