What is Killing Line About?
Killing Line tells the story of Mako, a high school girl struggling to make ends meet after being abandoned by her father. She turns to “papa-katsu” (dating a sugar daddy) to survive. On her first night, her sugar daddy is murdered by a hitman. The hitman attempts to eliminate Mako as well but seems to recognize her. Mako must use her wits and charm to survive this deadly encounter. The manga follows Mako as she attempts to “melt the heart of a cold-blooded hitman”.
