Synopsis

For those who've killed as much as Kuroko Koumori, there is no doubt that they've lost their sanity. In fact, by proving that she is still sane even after killing as many as 715 people, Kuroko avoids death row. Now given a second chance to remain in society as a State-Appointed Executioner, Kuroko and a girl named Hinako Tozakura are charged with hunting down other killers.

While Hinako is a rather happy-go-lucky girl that drives ferraris without a care for the rules of the road (or gravity, for that matter), Kuroko—who Hinako affectionately addresses as "Kuu-chan"—is more of a lascivious lesbian with razor sharp instincts and an impressive aptitude for murder.

The two seem like the most unlikely of duos. However, saddled with the gruesome job of ridding the country of vicious serial killers, it only makes sense for the executioners to be anything but normal!

this manga is awesome. yuri manga usually gets lower scores on here because the userbase are sexist but if you like stories that have gay women in them, this one is for you, im so happy this manga exists and can show adult women being perverted and evil. Honestly its kinda like black butler in the way its a serialized long running adult seinen written by a woman for women.

Is the main character evil, sure, but shes a 6'5 woman who is a serial killer, who would not fall for her immediately. The story is really rather cliche but you can still really enjoy it ...

Day 20/30 of the Yurithon:
This might be the most vile and depraved piece of fiction I have ever laid my eyes on. And I'm so glad I did. "Murciélago" is simply a work of fine literature that belongs in the Library of Congress. This is a far superior "Gushing over Magical Girls" in every facet imaginable. I really enjoyed the villain-of-the-week-esque plot progression, with Kuroko and Hinako dealing with the most outlandish cases imaginable. From roided-up wrestlers reliving their glory days to sapphic sects having sesbian lex and holding sacrifices, I enjoyed seeing how our main duo handled (and in some cases, dodged) their oncoming ...

This manga is the Mount Rushmore of internal-misogyny. It depicts women as perverts, manipulators, victims, crazies, and cold-blooded killers. Worst of all, it’s mostly toward their gender. I stopped reading after chapter 22. An event occurred, which made my jaw drop. It ruined a female-only space that seemed like a lesbian utopia.

Without spoiling too much, there’s much female-on-female crime that happens in this manga. There’s no “sisterhood” at all. The female x female crime isn’t depicted realistically either. I understand that women are catty towards each other, but they are rarely, if ever, homicidal. They fill this manga with Yuri scenes, so it wants us ...
