Synopsis: Master spy Twilight is the best at what he does when it comes to going undercover on dangerous missions in the name of a better world. But when he receives the ultimate impossible assignment—get married and have a kid—he may finally be in over his head!

Not one to depend on others, Twilight has his work cut out for him procuring both a wife and a child for his mission to infiltrate an elite private school. What he doesn’t know is that the wife he’s chosen is an assassin and the child he’s adopted is a telepath!

My rating: ★★★★★

I love the anime adaptation of the series so much! Around the time I started watching it, I was also wanting to get into more manga, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start the manga of this series. And unsurprisingly, I loved it!

Right from the first page, I was loving the art style!


But more than that, the story was so good! I mean, Twilight is a spy who wants to stop a war from breaking out between two countries. His plan is quite elaborate, which is what makes it fun. Lol. He has to go undercover to get close to a certain politician, but to do that, he needs a family. Little does he know that the child he adopted is a telepath and that his fake wife is an assassin.


I love this setup and family dynamic so much! None of them know about each other's secret lives... except for Anya. Since she is a telepath, she knows ALL! And she is having the time of her life with all this juicy drama. Lol.


I love Anya! She is so freaking cute and hilarious! I also love Loid and Yor—they're all such interesting characters. (Also, the engagement between Lloyd and Yor was both cute and the funniest thing I've ever seen. Lol) I particularly loved Loid—he is dreamy.


I loved this so much! Which I was anticipating because of how much I love the anime too. Lol. It's just really cute and heartwarming. Plus, because we've got a spy and an assassin, there is a ton of action, which I always enjoy in my books. This was just a solid start to a great series!
