About the book

Master spy Twilight assumes the identity of Loid Forger to infiltrate an elite school and reach a high-ranking political target in the rival nation of Ostania. To succeed, he must manufacture a convincing family within days. He unknowingly adopts Anya, a young telepath who can read his mind, and enters a marriage of convenience with Yor Briar, a mild-mannered civil servant who secretly moonlights as a professional assassin. This volume follows the trio as they navigate the entrance exams and social hurdles of Eden Academy while hiding their true identities from one another.

Fans of action-comedy manga read this volume for its balance of high-stakes espionage and domestic humor. It appeals to those who enjoy stories about found families and secret identities. Readers observe the friction between Cold War-style tactical planning and the unpredictable nature of parenting. By the end, the reader sees how three isolated individuals begin to form genuine emotional bonds despite their ulterior motives, setting the stage for a long-term undercover operation.
