SECRET'S OUT! Kuroko's Basketball Creator's Kill Blue Scores a "Secret Report" Novel!
Posted by Noon Anime Team on October 16, 2025
Hold onto your seats, anime fans, because this is HUGE! The brilliant mind behind the legendary sports manga Kuroko's Basketball, Tadatoshi Fujimaki, is expanding the world of his latest hit series! That's right, Kill Blue, the action-packed story of a 39-year-old assassin who suddenly finds himself in the body of a middle schooler, is officially getting a novel adaptation!
Get your calendars ready, because the novel, titled Kill Ao Secret Report, is set to drop in Japan on December 4th! While the full plot is still under wraps, that title has us at Noon Anime buzzing with excitement. A "Secret Report" could mean anything from a deep dive into our hero Juzo's past as a legendary assassin, a collection of untold side stories, or a brand-new mission that couldn't fit into the pages of the manga. This is our chance to get an even deeper look into the thrilling and hilarious world Fujimaki has created.
This is fantastic news for fans who can't get enough of Juzo's chaotic double life, navigating the treacherous worlds of both covert operations and middle school drama. If you haven't jumped into the Kill Blue manga yet, this is the perfect excuse to catch up before the novel's release! We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for more updates, but one thing's for sure: December can't come soon enough!
