Synopsis: Twilight must infiltrate the prestigious Eden Academy to get close to his target Donovan Desmond, but has he ruined his daughter Anya’s chances with his outburst during the admissions interview? Perhaps the truly impossible mission this time is making sure Anya both becomes an exemplary student and befriends Donovan’s arrogant son Damian!
At this point, it has been quite a while since I watched the anime, so when I read this volume, there were a bunch of things I forgot. For example, I forgot that Anya wanted a castle! Lol. Or that Yor (being the assassin she is) momentarily thought about killing one of the parents to get Anya into the fancy private school. Lol.
Don't worry, she didn't let the intrusive thoughts win. Lol. There was one part where she did beat up a bunch of bad guys, though, so that was cool. Lol. And Anya actually witnessed this, and her response: she wants to be just like her strong mama. It was so freaking cute! These heartwarming moments are some of my favorite things about this series.
There was this other moment between Loid and Yor where they were talking about parenting and being parents to this girl, and it was just so sweet. Them working together on her studies, but also Loid telling Yor how much he relies on her parenting-wise to be everything he's not. This coming after Yor starts to feel like she's not adequate enough for this role. I just love how supportive they are of one another. It's so sweet!
And then the motivation behind Loid becoming a Spy: he wants a world where kids don't have to cry. A world without war. I love him!
One character I didn't love, though, was Yor's brother Yuri. He is so gross with his sister! This is a trend in manga/anime that I do not like. But aside from that, I do think he's an interesting character. Especially because of his profession...
But I really loved this! It's funny and wholesome and the added bit of action is a plus. And I, of course, adore these characters and their developing relationships with one another. And the illustrations—amazing!
