Spy x Family vol. 1

 Spy x Family vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo (translated by Casey Loe), 220 pages.

Spy Twilight is a master of disguise, but that won't help him much in his latest impossible mission. He has been tasked to infiltrate an elite elementary school to gather intel on a valuable target, which means he has less than a week to find himself a civilian wife and child and convince the board of admissions that they're a respectable family. On such a tight timeline it's no surprise that his new wife is secretly an assassin and his daughter is a telepath.

To be completely upfront this premise makes very little sense. Which doesn't matter at all because the story is very sweet and also hilarious. Loid and Yor (which are the names of our spy and assassin, respectively) know absolutely nothing about how normal people work, which is the only way that their respective covers weren't blown immediately. I'm really excited to get my hands on more of these!

Fun fact: this is also an animated show, which is very worth watching.
