A spy on a mission to keep the peace between two countries needs a cover! So, what does he do? He needs to get himself a family! The spy known as Twilight (alias: Loid Forger) goes to a orphanage to get a little kid to fit the family picture. Amongst them is a little girl who can hear the thoughts of everyone around her. Anya is a psychic that really wants to get out of the orphanage and see Loid as an out. Anya also knows about Loid's work through mind reading, which makes her excited when she scans his thoughts and finds out that the mission is for "world peace." She is invested his mission and is soon adopted after she uses her ability to come across as smart. Somewhere in a business firm, Yor Briar is an eccentric, young woman who needs a cover up her assassin profession and what better way than to get married. Lo and behold, Loid Forger crosses paths with Yor which turns out to benefit both of them if they were to "marry" to keep a public reputation. At first, it seems like the relationship is strictly professional but as time goes on, will the relationship blossom into something organic?
What an actual nice series that combines action with slice of life tropes. Anya is a very cute child and her antics complete the dangerous lives of Loid and Yor. It is refreshing to see a series breathe life into a genre such as action and slice of life. The genres have had their fair share of nice picks (such as 7 Samurais and GJ-bu), but this is a marriage of the two in which I do believe that it works nicely in a way which has not been tried before (I could be wrong though). I do think you should watch it too and ignore the hype/criticisms to get a good inference.
