5.0

This series is consistently delightful, and I love that it keeps getting weirder and more complicated as more and more people cross paths with the Forgers, with Anya being the only one who knows about their double lives as spies, assassins, members of the secret police, etc. I love the interactions between telepathic Anya and the prescient dog. The mangaka’s little blurbs at the end of every book are so funny. Like a treat for reading in the first place.

Great moments in this volume include: first years talking about how something is so immature and for kindergartners; the swole chihuahua; the crucial reminder that Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, not the monster.
