Maybe this is not my thing.
I thought the concept was going to be cute, but it's a bit too weird and silly.
I'm still going to try one more volume to see if I'll continue or not.

I started watching the anime but wanted to read the manga. It's super cute and funny. I like the concept of these strangers coming together as a family for convenience purposes and everyone trying to hide who they are while mascarading as the perfect family. I'm rooting for them and excited for their misadventures.

A quick and entertaining story following Twilight, Yor, and Anya “Forger”. A fake family where everyone benefits, but their feelings for each other are starting to become real.

A delightful action-comedy that pairs the fun of campy 60s spy media with the heartful emotions of the found family trope. This volume serves to set up the larger story and introduces the cast and plot wonderfully.

This is one of my favorite graphic novels series ever. The cast is so colorful and fun, I love the chemistry between everyone. They're all lovable idiots and I can't wait to see where the plot takes them!

Most of the content above are played off as comedy, not much "serious" time is spent on it.

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!
