How Many Episodes Will Love of Kill Have?


Koroshi Ai, known in English with the rather odd title Love of Kill, is a mystery anime - and one of those rare instances where a manga for the josei demographic gets adapted. The idea of a romance between two assassins has been appealing to many viewers, who look forward to finding out more about this deadly love story. So, how many episodes of Love of Kill can we expect?

For those just getting into the anime, Love of Kill focuses on two seasoned killers; bounty hunter Chateau Dankworth, and Song Ryang-ha, a member of a powerful organization, and the man she's supposed to assassinate. Things don't go as planned, however. Not only is Ryang-ha too competent to kill, but he's also taken an interest in Chateau, to the point of assisting her in her missions.

While Chateau refuses to become personally involved with Ryang-ha, she does go out with him in exchange for information about her targets and their whereabouts. But there's a reason why Chateau and Ryang-ha became ruthless killers. When their past comes to haunt them, their entanglement is revealed to be more complicated than we would initially suspect, putting their partnership, and their lives, at stake.
