I checked this out after watching the recent movie on a whim while at the theater and finding the premise interesting. This is definitely a strong start for a series with a unique set up, well defined main characters, and a world that is slowly being built as the story continues to keep readers intrigued and wanting more. Speaking of which, I can't wait to check out the next volume!

It's cute. It's funny; I laughed out loud multiple times. It's also very cartoony; the worldbuilding is barely sketched in, most of the characters are clearly defined types, and the situations are highly exaggerated. There are a lot of scenes where one of the leads inadvertently does something extremely suspicious, but manages to smooth things over with a flimsy excuse. (It's frankly a miracle that neither Loid nor Yor had sussed the other's secret out by the end of their first date, let alone by the end of the volume, and it continues to be a miracle that both are still regarded as normal and unsuspicious by the people around them.)
What won me over is that the emotional moments, when they happen, land well. Wacky shenanigans aside, it's a story about three people who are each, in their own ways, isolated from the world and yearning for a human connection that they've found in each other, and by the end of the volume I cared enough about them to want to see what happened next. (I don't know if I'm going to stick out the whole series, though; I suspect my tolerance for the wacky shenanigans may have its limits.)

I’m already attached to the characters so that’s a good sign. I love the reluctant found family and marriage of convenience tropes so I’m excited to see where this goes. Not too many thoughts yet.

The classism is in a super over the top mocking way so it feels kinda silly putting a content warning for it…

My first ever manga! Definitely takes some getting used to in reading backwards but very enjoyable. A little chaotic and VERY over the top, the level of believability is next to nothing, but it’s fun and the artwork is stunning! I think I’ll enjoy the next few even more than this one now that the story is set up. Loid, I can take him or leave him (so far), but I’m extremely excited to see where Yor & Anya’s stories go.
