HITS

Described by me as Spy x Family meets Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, HITS is an ambiguously straight comedy action manga written by Shibata Yokusaru and drawn by Makoto Sawa.

Yuzu Tomita is 13-year old boy, drawn as a girl, who works as a freelance assassin (hitman). He has acquired enough notoriety as a killer to be recruited into the 'corporation', an underground guild of contract killers.

Tomita's initiation test turns out to kill an isekai'd version of himself. He's evenly matched with the copy and fails to kill him. They have unusually good teamwork so the corporation accepts them anyway. Their handler and foster father, Yuki Komatani, names the original "Tomita-kun" and the copy "Yuzu". Yuzu is accepted into school as Tomita-kun's "twin sister", Yuzuko.

Komantani wants the pair to rise in the ranks of the corporation, for reasons revealed later. And rise they do, becoming the infamous twin killers "Hits".

The bulk of the story focuses on the wacky contract hits and goofballs who get added to the story.

...

This is an adult story (nudity, rape/murder) but it's comedy focused first. The dramatic bits are not treated as a joke though. The villain is basically Griffith 2.0 and he's evil as fudge. It's so freaking surreal and crazy though. Assassins being everywhere and parallel worlds existing is probably the least outlandish stuff.

I would not call it "isekai" although maybe it technically is? The two Tomita Yuzus are functionally twins, but weird stuff happens due to them being identical, like gaining telepathy. The effect of "environment" also begins to show effect as one of the Tomitas falls madly in love with a hot girl while the other remains indifferent.

Story is highly recommended. It's hilarious and weird, just what the manga world needs.
