mehsi's review against another edition
5.0
Re-read 2021. This was so much fun and so exciting. I just LOVED the first part and how both the commander and Iku had a way to telling people where they are so they could be found. I am also glad that we get Dojo's POV a bit more and see that scene that is so important to Iku (though she forgot her prince, such a manga thing). I wonder when he will tell her. And tell about his feelings, because while things are cute, I do get a bit tired of his constant jojoing. Liking, strict, liking, strict, angry, strict, angry, liking. You are making it very confusing.
The parents part, I definitely could understand Iku. I wasn't too big a fan of her parents. Though I still wish she was honest. While my relationship with my parents is bad, I would still not lie to them.
There is also a cute bonus manga featuring puppies!
And I laughed so much when they held that party and Iku found out how much she could drink. :P
All in all, a very fun manga though I definitely hope for even more action and see Iku getting more of a role in the squad.

No no n o p e I can't even with how utterly and completely perfect Iku and Dojo are for each other. This is my favorite volume so far, especially for the Iku/Dojo scenes and the big revelation about a certain someone's secret prince. The bonus manga with the puppy was too cute.

I kind of love this series. I was really not expecting this series to be so good, but it is. The humor is perfect for me, the relationships and characters are great. It’s just such a pleasant surprise. I don’t know how long it’ll take me to catch up, but I’m definitely working on it.
This volume continues where the last one ended, with Iku and the Commander being kidnapped. I’m not going to spoil what happens, but it was handled really well. I really liked how Iku reacted, and knew what she was supposed to do. It was nice seeing the Commander handling things, too. I like him. Then there’re a couple sweet moments with Dojo, and the team has a celebration for Iku that’s sweet and funny.
Oh, Dojo’s thoughts on the whole thing was nice, as well. And it was revealed that he knows that Iku’s “Prince” is him. We get a flashback of both meetings (the original rescue, and again for her test to enter the school) from Dojo’s POV, and they’re sweet and rather humorous, including some teasing from Komaki and Genda (I love them, and their relationship with each other).
After that, Iku’s parents arrive. Iku’s worried, and nervous, and her friends are helping her hide what her actual job is from them. There are some sweet moments between Iku and her parents, and one between Dojo and Iku’s father; it was really interesting to meet them, and it seems like they genuinely love their daughter, so I’m interested to find out how they react when they find out the truth. There are a couple of close calls, and some very funny moments, but nothing big happens.
Also, Komaki ends up avoiding them at all costs, as it turns out that he won’t lie. He might be cryptic sometimes, and he teases all the time, but he won’t lie and he doesn’t want to give away Iku’s secret. We get a small chapter from his point of view, of his troubles trying not to run into them, that’s rather entertaining. And I swear, I just end up liking him more the more I see of him. It’s getting ridiculous at this point.
At the end of the volume, there’s a bonus chapter where Iku finds a lost puppy, which ends with a really cute moment between Iku and Dojo (and Dojo and the dog). Then another one where Iku and Dojo convince themselves out of the meaning behind one of their hugs, which Komaki just finds hilarious.
I love this series. It’s just getting to that point, I think. I have the next volume, and I’m going to be reading it right now.

Iku's parents come to visit her at work, but there's a huge problem - they think she is a noncombatant working as a Library Clerk. With the help of Instructor Dojo and Asako, Iku works both days on Clerk shifts, and they all might be able to convince her parents that she does indeed work as a Clerk. They just have to stay clear of Komaki, who doesn't believe in lying, but has promised to take shifts in the records room, far away from Iku and her parents. This deceit eats away at Iku, especially because she just got off a successful mission to save the general of the Library Forces, but she can't be truthful about the part she played!
Iku may be a college-aged adult who is training to enter dangerous situations and fire weapons, but when it comes to handling her parents, she folds like so many of us do. She's worried about how her mother never thinks she's feminine enough. She's scared her dad will continue to just take her mom's side all the time. And every conversation circles back to some flaw or something she should be doing besides working for library services. If her parents are this worried about her being a clerk, I can see why Iku doesn't want to be truthful! This struggle to be honest and not disappoint our parents is something I think is nigh-on universal. This volume also contains some great reveals that, truthfully all readers will see coming, but it's nice to have official confirmation.
