It's not really stated, but Mi to Shounen applies as well.

There's another... I believe it's a oneshot but can't be sure. Forgot the name ><. MIGHT be in Arcana anthology, not sure. A few others that slipped by my mind or I completely forgot about too.

I'm going to hijack this thread a bit (hope you don't mind), because what I'm looking for is exactly what's stated in the topic title, but apparently not what's implied.

I'm looking for manga, with an assassin who's either the lead or close to who actually raises a (his/her) child.
- The child is NOT an assassin in training
- The child preferably does not know what his/her parent really does for a living, but not a must
- Child may be adopted or related, but the "assassin" must be the legal guardian.
- Doesn't need to be serious (I personally prefer laid-back quirky/comical settings to blood, gore, and violence)

Think Otaku no Musume-san, but than the somewhat deadlier variety.

The only thing I know of that even remotely matches what I'm looking for is the Mad Dog arc in Angel Heart.

Your hijacking failed, and for obvious reasons. You forgot the number 1 rule of hijacking: always use a leafblower. Crazy kids these days can't do nothin right.

I have no idea what you mean by that... Never knew there were actually rules to follow when hijacking (not that what I did could really be called hijacking).
I simply assumed there were no manga with that kind of storyline, which is why the topic drifted towards child assassin in the first place.

saimne is just being funny/yanking your chain.

As for using a thread of someone else's, as long as it's similar... that's fine and encouraged. The threads that are all the same and keep popping up w/o checking for former threads... not as good.

Sorry, don't know any legal guardian assassin comics.
