About the work

The mangaka known as Yuichi began publishing this story in 2022, and it quickly became a viral phenomenon within reading platforms thanks to its unusual but brilliant premise. The work, which is currently ongoing, has won the hearts of readers by masterfully balancing tender scenes of kindergarten life with over-the-top action sequences in the purest style of mob movies. This adaptation marks the first time that the chaotic lives of these ex-yakuza teachers reach the small screen.

Kindergarten Wars Synopsis

The story follows a motley group of fearsome former yakuza members and hitmen who have decided to leave their violent criminal lives behind to seek redemption. Their new calling leads them to work as teachers and maintenance staff at a seemingly peaceful kindergarten. Their only goal now is to lead a normal, quiet, and honest life while caring for and educating the adorable infants in their charge. However, the past never forgives, and old rivals, enemy mobs, and assassins begin to attack the facility. Mixing incredibly touching moments with absurd comedy and fights to the death, these tough ex-gangsters will have to learn to deal with tantrums, demanding parents, and diaper changes, all while gunning down intruders on the playground to ensure the children have a safe and fun day.

Considering the dark criminal past of these teachers, how do you think they will react when they have to deal peacefully with an angry parent complaining because their child scraped their knee during recess?
