About the Series

Studio Echo describes the story:

Gero Ichinose is a deadly assassin in his early 20s who's facing an unexpected ultimatum from his family: get married, or his younger brother will be forced to take over the family business. With his dangerous profession making normal romance nearly impossible, Gero turns to an unconventional solution—marriage broker services. But finding love proves more challenging than any assassination contract, especially when his violent past keeps interfering with potential matches. As Gero navigates the absurd world of arranged meetings and matchmaking apps, he encounters Mei, a perky and unpredictable woman who might just be the perfect match for someone with his unique lifestyle. Together, they navigate a chaotic blend of action, comedy, and romance.
