Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has recently recommended a new horror manga, adding to the growing trend of famous manga authors supporting each other’s work. It’s not unusual for mangaka (manga creators) to give shoutouts to series they enjoy, sometimes because their publishers encourage it, but often simply because they genuinely like the story. Fujimoto has previously recommended titles like Chaos Game and School Back, and now he’s back with another pick.
The manga Fujimoto is endorsing this time is called Kirei na Kimi ni Korosaretai (I Want to Be Killed by Someone Beautiful Like You). While it doesn’t have an official English translation yet, fans have taken to calling it I Want to Be Killed by Your Beautiful Self.
This new horror series began serialization on December 24, 2024. The first volume released on March 14, 2025, and Fujimoto’s recommendation is highlighted on the book’s obi (a paper strip wrapped around manga volumes). His message on the obi reads:
“I like men who smell like danger.”
The manga is written by Roka Kouen — likely a pen name — and illustrated by Tsukasa Yoshino. It’s published online on Ichijin-plus under the Comic Howl label.
Story
The story follows Sei Tomoaki, whose life takes a dark turn after he reconnects with an old friend, Amawashi Hajime. As the title suggests, this isn’t a lighthearted reunion. It’s a horror story filled with suspense and unsettling themes. While plot details are still limited, the mysterious title and Fujimoto’s cryptic endorsement have already intrigued many fans.
