adventurous funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

The author’s note says they strove to create a story with a fluffy girl and a grim boy — and we got just that. Fluffy kitty girl spy meets loyal pouty puppy assassin, and he’s definitely smitten. She’s supposed to be spying on him, but he quickly lets her know that he’s onto her, and he’s definitely OK with it, even offers up intel on himself to keep her alive, and then a sham of a marriage for her protect and his own mutual benefit! Lots of flirting, boobaliciousness, and sexy cuddles as she works out her loyalties and how to feel about her target. This one is definitely for the adult readers.

Sara’s Rating: 7/10
Suitability Level: Adults

Cute, fluffy, and a little freaked out. A quick read in between epic fantasy bangers and a wonderful palette cleanser.

Tropes: Assassin x spy, Opposites Attract, Touch Her and You Die, obsessions

This was a 4-star read for me! It’s fast-paced, chaotic in the best way, and full of the tropes I live for—all wrapped up in a gritty, stylish manga.

The dynamic between the deadly assassin and the unsuspecting, Cinderella-type girl? Obsessed. The chemistry, the action, the protectiveness? Perfection. I’m just sad it’s only one volume because I already know I would’ve binged the whole series.

Assassin and Cinderella pairs a spy and an assassin in a "Mr and Mrs Smith" style romance. The titular Cinderella is the buxom spy Neneko, whose soft curves and cute smile hide a cold spy. The titular assassin is tall, dark, handsome, and (supposedly) obsessed with Neneko, to the point that he proposed a fake marriage to keep her with him, even though he knows Neneko is a spy. He's a classic shadow daddy whose only soft spot is Neneko.

The manga focuses its art on showcasing how good this pair looks together - her with generous cleavage pressed against his lean abs and him with large hands wrapped possessively around her. I'm not a fan of disproportionately large hands though, so I'm taken out of some of their sexier poses by my nonplussed reaction to their exaggerated proportions. While they do pose provocactively, this is not an ecchi manga (so far), and the couple stops at some light kissing and innuendos. I don't know if the series will continue with more explicit scenes in the future.

Plot-wise, this volume is mostly setup, and it's unclear if future chapters will cover longer story arcs or if this series will stick to episodic vingettes. 

It was a cute read overall, but I am not excited to read more.
