Unemployed Killers Support Group

“Top 10 Must-Read Manga” Publishers Weekly, Spring 2026

Rio delivers stunning artwork, sharp wit, blood-soaked backstories, and a brutally offbeat take on redemption.

Unemployed Killers Support Group is a razor-sharp, darkly hilarious noir-esque manga from Taiwanese creator Rio, shortlisted at the 2023 Angoul?me International Comics Festival. This is not your average self-help group.

Locker Loyed, once a deadly sniper, lost his vision–and his job–on a mission gone wrong. Now, he’s joined an unlikely circle of former contract killers, each grappling with their own personal collapse. Among them: Gloria Maze, a meticulous assassin whose career imploded after catching her husband cheating and killing the mistress in a jealous rage; Jerry Cole, a justice-obsessed lawyer turned bloodthirsty executioner; and Jordi Joe, a delusional con man who’s never actually killed anyone.

As they try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, Locker begins to realize his past isn’t done with him. A dangerous figure–the one responsible for his blindness and a friend’s death–is still at large. And revenge is still on the table.

For fans of dark comedy, crime thrillers, and twisted found family, Unemployed Killers Support Group is a bold, bloody, and brilliantly offbeat ride through the lives of society’s most dangerous burnouts. Welcome to the group–check your conscience at the door.
