Content Warning: Gore and Sex

If you don't have a problem with the above content warning then I think this is basically one of the best manga I've ever read. I am normally not the type of person to enjoy gore and yet here it doesn't really bother me (Your millage will vary). You follow a lesbian who is also a serial killer placed to work for the government and kill people they deem nonredeemable. There is pretty explicit lesbian sex scenes, Murcielago is a pretty bad person but she is very charming. It's really awesome to have a lesbian lead who is utterly detached from respectability politics. She's a murder who gets to walk free and date girls cuz she is really good at killing people. It feels very adult shounen with really cool action scenes but the heavy gore and sex that makes this not at all for people under age. I don't know if I will keep loving it but I am excited to read further volumes.
