The official X/Twitter account for the television anime of Yū Chiba's Kindergarten WARS (Yōchien Wars) manga revealed on Thursday that Mirei Kumagai will voice Mac, a teacher in the Violet class and Lyla's caretaker who wears a yellow bear costume:

Shueisha's MANGA Plus website publishes the Kindergarten WARS manga digitally. Yen Press published the manga's fourth volume physically on April 28.

Yen Press describes the story:

Rita is Convict 999, a former legendary assassin who now works at a kindergarten for the children of world leaders. Her job is to protect the schoolchildren from the clutches of would-be assassins sent after them! But even with her overwhelming strength, Rita has a weakness—she's head-over-heels for good-looking men!

Chiba launched the manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ app and website in September 2022. Shueisha published the manga's 17th compiled book volume on April 3. The manga entered its final arc in March 2025, and has over 2 million copies in circulation.

Chiba launched the Yōchien Wars -LUKE- (Kindergarten WARS -LUKE-) spinoff manga in November 2024. The spinoff manga is a 180-page story about the character Luke.
