• 0:03
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:07
  talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today we're going to be
• 0:10
  touching on kii, Ruru Kill Me, volume one.
• 0:16
  Now this is one that I have had on my shelf for a few months and
• 0:21
  I started reading it a little bit of while back.
• 0:24
  I kind of put it down, just a pause and wait on it for a bit.
• 0:27
  But I was like, you know what, it's February.
• 0:32
  Love is in the air. So let's let's go back to kiru
• 0:37
  kill me, especially because of volume to Zuma, coming out in
• 0:41
  the coming weeks. Sounds like, you know what?
• 0:43
  Let me go back and touch on this series.
• 0:46
  So, first of all, the story in our is done by yasuhiro, Cano.
• 0:55
  It is published by Seven Seas. And yeah, this is, uh, Up front
• 1:03
  all say this is a pretty meaty pretty thick volume all things
• 1:10
  considered cuz this one it has. It's got nine chapters in it,
• 1:20
  which is a lot and they feel like, you know, like they're not
• 1:23
  like super long but I feel like there long enough.
• 1:29
  I feel like I feel like that little bit longer than the
• 1:31
  standard change. Because maybe I don't know maybe
• 1:34
  or maybe just because of how much is in it.
• 1:36
  Just feels like it's longer than what it is.
• 1:39
  But yeah. So the basic premise of kiru
• 1:45
  kill me is that it follows a young man?
• 1:50
  I believe I believe he's in his 20s or so, but basically he has
• 1:57
  everything in the world, you know.
• 1:58
  He he looks good, he's super smart, he's a prodigy.
• 2:02
  G, and he's the heir to a pharmaceutical Empire.
• 2:06
  So he's currently he's like the director of like his family's
• 2:09
  pharmaceutical company and it's a pretty much, he has just about
• 2:15
  everything a person could want in life, you know, like I said,
• 2:18
  looks smart wealth, but like a lot of greats in history, he
• 2:28
  doesn't have love as so these kind of kick off.
• 2:36
  With so I get I guess I should say so the just make sure I get
• 2:42
  my info right. So the guy in question, his name
• 2:48
  is, where is it? Ow.
• 2:51
  Ow. Ow.
• 2:52
  Ow, Nemo aoi, Nemo. Our name of that song I'm just
• 2:57
  going to say it. Say like that and the woman
• 3:00
  that's on the cover is a coup me kii Ruru.
• 3:06
  So one day he's at this like big fancy event for the company or
• 3:11
  whatever and she is there and know she'll think she's they're
• 3:17
  secretly like she's there as like a bartender or waitress or
• 3:20
  something or whatever. So anywho he sees her is
• 3:24
  practically love it for a site for him.
• 3:26
  And after that night, he's thinking about that's all he can
• 3:31
  do is just think about her. And so he's like man, I want to
• 3:35
  see her again, but I don't even know at the time.
• 3:38
  He didn't even know what her name was or nothing.
• 3:41
  So because of how wealthy he is, and who he is, he has
• 3:45
  connections super high up. So he ends up hiring some like
• 3:50
  Secret Service type of people to find out who this woman was.
• 3:54
  And as I find it, Now. Okay, her name is a Kumi kiru,
• 3:58
  but they also discover that she is an assassin.
• 4:04
  So, of course, that kind of throws a little bit of salt.
• 4:06
  A little bit of a wrench into things or something you would
• 4:09
  think so. So Nemo comes up with the
• 4:14
  brilliant idea of like, you know what, the perfect way for me to
• 4:19
  get this woman to come back? Is that he anonymously puts in a
• 4:24
  hit on himself. He hires her to basically kill
• 4:29
  him as ways of them meeting. And so this series, it's just
• 4:35
  like a fun action comedy series with a little bit of with a
• 4:41
  little bit of romance a little bit on the spicy side to, you
• 4:47
  know, nothing too much goes on. But between way Nemo is
• 4:51
  imagining and just like certain shots.
• 4:55
  I like kiru and different situations that they're both in
• 5:00
  or whatever, I really like it like that because, of course,
• 5:04
  hey, this know that these are all adult characters which is
• 5:08
  up, which is automatically a win in my book for, you know,
• 5:11
  there's something series. But yeah.
• 5:15
  And so the rest of the volume is pretty much just like a series
• 5:18
  of advanced him setting things up in a way of like oh, I'm a
• 5:26
  hammer be having a meeting at this big conference or and he's
• 5:31
  like slipping anonymous tips or whatever.
• 5:34
  And as far as like, oh you know, he'll be at this event and at
• 5:39
  2:00 he'll be going to this private room or whatever.
• 5:45
  Just as a way to kind of give her hints to, to get to him.
• 5:50
  And so but the crazy thing is, Because of him being a genius
• 5:58
  and working for a pharmaceutical company, he has all types of
• 6:03
  gadgets to kind of protect himself, from being murdered.
• 6:09
  Because slight spoiler for life. Like one of the first times,
• 6:11
  they encounter each other again, whenever he says a bit of a hit
• 6:15
  on himself, she basically gets the drop on him and looks like
• 6:19
  she's slashes his throat but he has like this, like skin.
• 6:25
  Graph armor on like Vada points of his body as far as like you
• 6:30
  know his neck certain parts of like his torso, all the like all
• 6:35
  like the main parts of the different ligaments and stuff.
• 6:38
  And so the first time she's like, what the heck, you know,
• 6:41
  because she knows she's an assassin.
• 6:44
  Like she took a blade to his neck and he still up and walking
• 6:49
  around and so it's just all types of stuff like that all
• 6:53
  throughout. You know, and I love that like,
• 6:58
  you know, of course, she's getting frustrated because she's
• 7:02
  no because it's so. So this is kind of like her
• 7:05
  first big hit as an assassin as I guess.
• 7:09
  It's becoming a professional assassin because there's like a
• 7:12
  whole Bureau and organization of like the basically like the
• 7:17
  League of Assassins or the assess, the Assassins
• 7:20
  Association, or whatever it's called.
• 7:23
  And so, but Because of the kind of back-and-forth of her going,
• 7:31
  all these missions trying to get him but he keep on making it
• 7:34
  out. It eventually starts to get it.
• 7:36
  Get to a point where, you know, people are kind of questioning
• 7:39
  like, man. Like do you suck at your job as
• 7:42
  far as I her killing people? Like you kind of suck at this.
• 7:48
  You guys so many attempts, but he's still alive.
• 7:52
  And so it's kind of like starting to like affect her.
• 7:56
  Her reputation, but and it's also kind of in a way.
• 8:01
  You know, Nemo is kind of also starts to think, like, man.
• 8:05
  Maybe I should kind of ease up a bit because, you know, is she
• 8:09
  going to get discouraged or whatever, or whatever the case
• 8:13
  may be? So my overall it is, like I
• 8:16
  said, it is just like a super fun, just back and forth.
• 8:22
  With these two characters I enjoy some of the like
• 8:27
  Supporting Cast. That's kind of been sprinkled in
• 8:30
  throughout like like Nemo's like his best friend from college.
• 8:37
  Whatever is like his like, number one partner has company.
• 8:40
  That works with him in the lab on producing like different
• 8:44
  medicines and stuff like that. And then later on we kind of get
• 8:48
  introduced to some other assassins that They key room is
• 8:54
  working with and so, yeah, it's just kind of just fun, just kind
• 8:59
  of seeing the potential of this series in this world kind of
• 9:04
  expanding now with me reading. This, it kind of got me thinking
• 9:11
  that I'm noticing a pattern and recent things that I have been
• 9:17
  watching him reading that I don't, no, I don't know what it
• 9:24
  says about. About me per se, the fact that,
• 9:30
  you know, I read succubus and hit man.
• 9:33
  I'm no. Now, reading kiru kill me.
• 9:36
  And I've also been watching the anime love of kill and all of
• 9:41
  these, especially, especially kii Ruru and love of kill deal
• 9:47
  with a like and Assasin type of relationship and stuff.
• 9:55
  Because, you know, those are Might have listened to our wash
• 9:58
  already, my succubus and Hitman reviewed.
• 10:01
  That was also a situation of but that was a little bit more,
• 10:05
  darker town in a sense but it has also kind of just with this
• 10:12
  guy being a Hitman for this succubus, demon thing, demon
• 10:18
  woman. And then of course love of kill
• 10:21
  is to assassins that kind of have some type of relationship.
• 10:26
  Russian ship or try to have some relationship better than going
• 10:29
  on. But they're kind of like, you
• 10:31
  know, to two different assassins to keep crossing paths and now
• 10:36
  kiru, you know, trying to assassinate Nemo, who has a big
• 10:42
  crush on her. So I guess I don't know what
• 10:44
  that says about. You know what I'm into curly,
• 10:49
  but I'm loving it, you know? Cuz You know, all of these are
• 10:53
  fun series. Definitely, you know, like I
• 10:56
  said, so keep us to hit man. That's definitely way more on
• 10:59
  the like darker, super violent tone but check out love of
• 11:08
  killings. Well because that has been a
• 11:09
  very awesome anime to watch but anywho, but yeah.
• 11:15
  So like I said, I don't know, I don't want to get too like too
• 11:19
  many specifics where it collects a it's just a fun series.
• 11:22
  He's to just read an experience. But like I said, I think I am
• 11:26
  definitely going to be picking up volume 2.
• 11:29
  I don't know if I'll get to pick it up as soon as it comes out
• 11:31
  later this month. But I definitely will be
• 11:35
  continuing to read this series because like I said it's fun
• 11:41
  just saying they're back and forth what types of gadgets and
• 11:45
  stuff he is going to be coming up with as well as like kiru
• 11:51
  getting I'm way more serious with some of these that
• 11:55
  assassination attempts and stuff so and and just saying you know,
• 11:59
  just like like I said I for the most part it's kind of like a
• 12:02
  one-sided romantic interest whatever because I love like the
• 12:06
  narrator its kind of narrating. His thoughts and stuff whatever.
• 12:13
  But yeah. But overall like I said it is
• 12:17
  just been a very fun read. I'm gonna see if I can find a
• 12:24
  appropriate panelist shall, but, yeah, like I said, it's it's fun
• 12:33
  with just enough spiciness, sprinkled into it to where, you
• 12:39
  know, if if you're if you know, like I said, just looking for a
• 12:42
  little bit more adult, fun reading, you know, like I said,
• 12:45
  like nothing, super graphic, whatever there is like, I guess,
• 12:49
  like, Minor nudity. A little bit with kiru here and
• 12:56
  there but but yeah, but she just looks so freaking cute and
• 13:04
  adorable and stuff so but but yeah. like they're just
