LGBTQ Manga Review - Killing Me!

Yuri being employed for comedic effect is nothing new. Frequently this is done by having one character irresistibly attracted to another female and make inappropriate advances on her for laughs. Yuri manga Killing Me puts a spin on this trope by having the other girl like the pursuer back. The yuri is front and center in this hilarious romantic manga. Of course, love may have to wait for a little bit, the protagonists are busy trying to kill each other.

Killing Me by Akiyama centers on vampire hunter Saki Fujimiya and her relationship with Miyoko Kujou, who is both her classmate and the vampire she is tasked with killing. The two of them live double lives, in the classroom Saki is poised and popular while Miyoko is constantly flirting with her and professing her love, making her the only person that can get under Saki’s skin. However, at night and in the moments between classes, they engage in brutal conflicts. Saki attempts to kill Miyoko who, just as she does in school, flirts and toys with the hunter. 

The dynamic of school life and combat between the two girls is incredibly well executed and hilarious. I openly laughed numerous times at their misadventures and battles. The two have a lot of chemistry and the dialogue of the outlandish combat scenarios is well written. However, the most interesting aspect of the conflict between the two is that, no matter how many times she has the opportunity to, Saki does not kill Miyoko.
