*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Hikaru Gero is an assassin and poison master who is being forced by his family to produce an heir in order to prevent that fate for his sister; who has found true love with her girlfriend. While on a job, he encounters Mei Kinosaki, a marriage swindler and makes a deal with to get him married in exchange for saving Kinosaki. Now Kinosaki begins to train Hikaru to get a woman he can spend his life with.

This seems crazy with some quirky villains and a main pair that are funny together. What I really like about this is as hilarious as Mei and Hikaru are together, this manga does not let you forget that Hikaru is a dangerous assassin. It’s in the vein of SpyxFamily where there’s a lot of fun to be had but can still be serious when it needs to be. Not a bad start to a series. I see potential here. 3.5 out of 5.

By day, Tista is a college student studying to become a teacher. But by night, she is Sister Militia, The Grim Reaper of New York, a deadly assassin.

While I liked this series so far, it’s one hell of a downer. There’s tons of action and drama but it is violent and dark. Imma go ahead and put in a trigger warning for dead kids. Tista is not mentally well and the imagery conveying that is fantastic. The art easily goes from cute slice of life to gritty and tortured. Also, at least at the end of this volume, a few tropes I was expecting to happen didn’t. I genuinely did not know where this was going to go which makes it intriguing. 3.8 out of 5.
