This series has it all - fake relationship, found family, comedy, delightfully over the top spy action, assassination plots, and political intrigue all wrapped up in a little Anya-shaped sci-fi bow!

This first volume does an excellent job of introducing the main players in this story. Loid, Yor, and Anya forge themselves into the aptly named Forger family and begin their journey of precariously balancing work/school life with the unexpected personal bonds they've already started to form with each other.

Although we get to see Yor's and Anya's motivations for needing this family, these first five chapters largely focus on Loid's internal struggle to reconcile the fact that his job has always demanded a "trust no one but yourself" mindset with the reality that he has now been assigned his most important mission yet, which entirely depends on him retraining himself to trust other people to help pull it off.

The developing "will they, won't they" between Loid and Yor is already taking off without a hitch in the suitably chaotic way you might expect from a spy/assassin hook up! Between them lies the groundwork for a solid relationship built on mutual understanding and it appears that the seeds of genuine feelings have already started to sprout. Of course, it helps that Anya is the cutest child they could have possibly found (or who could have possibly found them in this case), as she makes every page she's on a pure delight with her attempts to help their plans succeed.

Together, they truly are a beautiful found family that has already started pulling at the heartstrings. Their secrets are carefully kept from each other to keep each other safe from the dangers of their work, but their hearts clearly crave the normalcy their identities deny them. Even Anya has a dark past she can't tell anyone about lest it tear their family apart.

So glad this lived up to the hype! I am all for a closed-off spy marrying a kick-ass assassin and adopting a cute telepathic little girl and creating an adorable family together. Give me more!!!!! (Some parts were definitely giving me The Americans vibe ❤️❤️)
