Shonen Jump announced a new manga series called Love is Overkill is available via Shonen Jump+. It is also being released worldwide. The first chapter is available in English on MangaPlus now.
The series is by Astra Ashima, whose previous series was Handsome Must Die from Shonen Jump+. S’More Milwalky is a doctor, with her primary specialty being a mix of research and mortuary work. As the series begins, she’s working as a mortician at Deslike Prison. She laments the fact that she’s single and alone. After an incredibly violent and deadly assassin named Painkiller is transferred to the facility, she falls in love at first sight due to his good looks.
After Painkiller’s executed for his many, many murders, he winds up in S’More’s morgue. As she fixes his body up, even giving him a manicure and brushing his hair, she also uses a secret drug she developed to revive his dead skin and make him look better. However, this has an unintended side effect, which leads to S’More and Painkiller’s new “relationship” beginning.
Even though 2025 is still “young,” this isn’t the first new manga series to debut in Shonen Jump. The earliest one was Waiting for the Sunlight. The first chapter of that appeared on January 1, 2025. It’s at five chapters as of February 24, 2025, and the next one is due to appear on February 26, 2025.
The first chapter of the Love is Overkill manga is available now, and the next new one will appear in Shonen Jump and via MangaPlus on March 3, 2025.
