Rita is Convict 999, a former legendary assassin who now works at a kindergarten for the children of world leaders. Her job is to protect the schoolchildren from the clutches of would-be assassins sent after them! But even with her overwhelming strength, Rita has a weakness—she's head-over-heels for good-looking men!
Chiba launched the manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ app and website in September 2022. Shueisha published the manga's 13th compiled book volume on January 4.
Chiba launched on November 27 a spinoff manga titled Yōchien Wars -LUKE- (Kindergarten WARS -LUKE-). The spinoff manga is a 180-page story about the character Luke.
