Sosei Takarai just wanted to be a regular high schooler. He goes to school every day, hiding a job he doesn’t even enjoy, until the class idol, Asumi Shiramori, inexplicably asks him out. Sosei is over the moon, but with all his free time after school and on weekends taken up by his job, he barely gets to see Asumi, let alone go out on dates. Then, one day, he spies his mysterious classmate Kuchina Hitsujimoto at his workplace. Why is she there? Sosei’s job, after all, is as an assassin. His romantic entanglements are bittersweet and painful, and the closer Sosei gets to his dream of normality, the further away it seems. A dark rom-com about a boy who kills and a girl who takes lives with a touch.

Love is Dark is a tale of romance involving assassins and their secret lives, their tale of love, and their desire for normalcy.

Tobi Otogiri, a second-year student in middle school, doesn't spend much time with his peers.

Thus begins an adventure blending reality and fantasy, human and non-human—a story about life eating life.

But what is she planning? And who is the mysterious “S” waiting for Shizukudani in the nurse's office? The strange events surrounding Tobi show no sign of stopping...
