Love of Kill Episode 1 RELEASE DATE and TIME, COUNTDOWN, Where to Watch

As much as we might want to pretend otherwise, many of us are still prone to the Enemies to Lovers trope, and Love of Kill or Koroshi Ai is going to play with that tendency! The forthcoming Josei anime will feature a man and a woman who are both ruthless killers each tasked with assassinating the other. But will they be after each other in a different way by the end of it?

Below, you will find everything you need to know about the new Platinum Vision project, including the release date and time of the premiere, where to watch, and everything else you need to know about Love of Kill.

Love of Kill: What Is It About?

Love of Kill or Koroshi Ai, as is the show's original title, is based on a manga of the same name, written and illustrated by Fe. The story follows Chateau Dankworth, a quiet, stoic assassin, tasked with killing Son Ryang-ha - also a notorious killer, legendary for having killed 18 officials in one night. Their first encounter reveals that Ryang-ha is also after Chateau.

As it turns out, though, he doesn't plan on persecuting her in the way you would expect. Ryang-ha offers her gifts in the form of targets, and endeavors to get to know her better. In time, the two end up working together - but don't worry, the story is still more about action and mystery, rather than romance as such.
