I liked seeing Loid working with other agents and having a few chapters with Fiona trying to win a tennis tournament lead to some very funny moments. Then again an underground tennis match as a concept is quite absurd.
I did love the development we got with Yor and Loid in this volume too. We don't often get to see just the two of them together and it was a really heartwarming moment.

Seeing Anya just hanging out with Becky and being a kid (as much a being a kid with a super rich friend can be) was just heartwarming and cute. They were adorable, which also made the chapter centered around Damian feel that more lonely when reading it.

I am loving this series and the characters so much.

I'm still fond of this series but this volume wasn't my favourite. The concept of the underground tennis competition is hilarious but I thought it was a bit much to
show the cheating players as they are taking intravenous drugs, and to have the someone in the crowd yell out KYS to some losing players
.

Nightfall/Fiona gets to put her skills to the test during a wish fulfillment mission with Twilight and, while she is no match for Yor, her obsessive personality is enough to drive a wedge into Yor's heart anyway. Loid's rocky attempt to diagnose and resolve this situation shows us that, despite his extensive training, Yor still manages to catch him off guard.

On the one hand, Fiona's close observation of the developing relationship between Loid and Yor is a valuable insight for the reader about how Loid is truly feeling at this point in the mission. On the other hand, she brings an uncomfortable and frustrating element to the "love triangle" trope that feels both unnecessary and annoying. She is painfully obvious about her ulterior motives and it feels like at any minute she could snap and fall into yandere territory. This may not be every reader's cup of tea.

The second half of volume 6 focuses more on Anya's relationships with Becky and Damian as she tries very hard to get closer to them for the sake of world peace and an easier school life. She may have scored high points with Becky, but her attempts to relate to Damian's feelings about his father seem to be hit or miss. And yet, is it just her imagination that Damian is showing slightly less resistance to her presence?

Oh my god, the tennis match was hilarious. I was so entertained by everything that happened in those few issues. I felt like we got a good mix of storylines in this one, from Twilight's spy missions to things happening at the school. Now I'm sad I'm caught up to the publication because I have to wait for the next one!
