Okay, so after 5 volumes, I still find parts of the story humorous or specific missions intriguing. However, it's not okay to have a 6 year old pining after a grown adult, that's inappropriate no matter the context. (Plus it kinda ruins Becky's character since the won't drop the topic in this volume.) Bond isn't used all that much, which is kinda sad. The Damian vs Anya storyline wasn't bad, and thank God they made her slightly improve her grades, but it's still frustrating at her complete lack of ability, seriously give her like one area she's at least moderately decent in, it doesn't even need to be good just average, which would be more believable. A lot of these missions seem more disjointed than the prior volumes. I also really don't care for Fiona; she's not really adding anything besides unneeded tension in a story with plenty of that already. Plus, her trope of being the secretly jealous love interest is just overdone. I hope the next volume is better than the drop in quality for this one.

I loved how this volume show cased Yor and Anya trying to improve their skills in cooking and academically respectively. It was cute and funny to watch them try their bests and seeing their effort pay off.
It was also nice to see some more of Anya's classmates and the school in general. It helps that place feel more alive. Even if Anya causes issues for Loid with her school report about his job.

This volume was less fun than the previous ones. I did like Anya's friend a bit more when she was all excited and interested in Twilight when she saw him in the family photo Anya brought to school. Mission 28 was heartwarming- with all the students coming together for George when he thought his family was going bankrupt. 
Interested in how Nightfall will fall into the story and the Forger family's lives. Still don't like the incestuous nature of Yor's brother.

They fit a lot of episodes in one volume; I loved reading the 7 different missions and seeing the character development of Anya and Yor in particular. Anya was the star of this volume with her academic struggles at Eden Academy at the heart of this story. Final thoughts: Bond is the fluffiest and best doggo; also Yuri is a bit too obsessed with Yor, is he ok?
