''The Geek Ex-Hitman'' (''そのヲタク、元殺し屋。Sono Otaku, Moto Koroshiya'') is a {{Shonen}} {{crime|AndPunishmentSeries}}[=/=]{{fandom}} {{comedy}} manga by Ko-dai. The series ran for 28 chapters in ''Shōnen Ace Plus'' beginning 1 May 2020, and was released in English by Creator/YenPress in three tankoubon volumes from August 2022 to December 2023.
The TallDarkAndHandsome Marco is a notorious [[ProfessionalKillers hitman]] for TheMafia, feared throughout Italy as [[RedBaron "the Oracle of Florence"]]. One day, everything changed: he broke into his latest target's apartment to find him watching a MagicalGirl anime, ''[[ShowWithinAShow Hades Girl Eurydice]]''. Completely distracted from the terrified OccidentalOtaku target, he reached for the Eurydice figurine on her shelf, and uttered three words:
'''''[[MoodWhiplash "She's so cute...!"]]'''''
And with that, Marco forever gave up his life of crime and moved to Japan to follow his newfound passion for all things anime. He is soon joined by two Carabinieri who initially pursue him to Japan on orders from the Italian government: Viviana, a YaoiFangirl who is obsessed with ''Eurydice''[='s=] hot male lead, and her partner Andre, who [[OnlySaneMan has no idea what Marco and Viviana are going on about with this series]] but turns out to be a talented sketch artist able to reproduce scenes from the series solely off of their descriptions.
''Et voila'': from the violence of Italy's underworld, a new {{doujinshi}} circle is born.

* FunWithAcronyms: Marco is nicknamed "T.O.", short for "'''T'''he '''O'''racle of Florence". In Japan this gets backronymed to "Top Otaku" by his new friends in the ''Eurydice'' fandom, who don't know he's a former assassin.
