Anya really gets to shine in all her wide-eyed charm and adorably awkward social skills on her own mission to acquire a stella star for the sake of world peace... and a shot at getting closer to Desmond so Loid can continue his mission. Her real standout moment occurs in the bonus mission where she takes the safety of her found family into her own tiny hands, featuring more fun shenanigans from the chaotic duo of her and Franky. They really are such a treat when they get together.
As usual, the supporting cast has so much personality and charm that not a single one falls flat. They all help round out the interesting world these characters are living in and bring it to life in ways that are highly entertaining. Yor's brother is my only exception so far, only because I'm not a fan of the "siscon" trope. Up to this point, he has not been rewarded for this behavior, but it is still pretty uncomfortable to watch play out. Your mileage may vary.
On a side note, I personally appreciate how Loid's (cover) job as a psychiatrist is treated with respect and talked about as something legitimate that helps people who are struggling in their day to day lives. The topic has come up many times in these first three volumes and there are still characters (mostly children) who brush it off as something unimportant, but the main takeaway has been that this career is comparable to the importance and nobility of Loid's mission to build a world where everyone can be safe, happy, and exist in peace. Given the stigma of mental health, I think that's pretty significant.
