In the second volume of this action-comedy manga, the makeshift Forger family faces the next stage of Operation Strix: enrolling Anya in the prestigious Eden Academy. Twilight, an elite spy undercover as psychiatrist Loid Forger, must navigate a high-stakes admissions interview alongside his wife Yor, a professional assassin, and Anya, a telepath who secretly reads their minds. The narrative focuses on the trio's frantic attempts to project an image of upper-class refinement while hiding their lethal occupations. Complications arise when Anya takes her entrance exams and Yor’s brother, a member of the secret police, begins to investigate his sister's sudden marriage.
This book serves readers who enjoy the friction between domestic sitcom tropes and high-stakes espionage. Fans of situational irony follow the story to see how three strangers maintain a fraudulent household while accidentally developing genuine emotional bonds. Readers walk away with a humorous look at the absurdity of social expectations and the logistical difficulties of balancing a double life. It appeals specifically to those who appreciate visual storytelling where physical comedy and internal monologues reveal the gap between a character's public persona and their private reality.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
