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

After Hikaru does battle with a water master to save Hemekawa, an art thief, his next assignment is to be the bodyguard of a young woman with social anxiety who has been targeted by a sound master.

While this can get goofy when Hikaru tries to be romantic, this volume has a lot of fighting and action with challenging opponents for Hikaru. He’s a force to be reckoned with so I think his family should just let the man work because he’s a brilliant assassin and it’s not like he’s super old and can’t sire the required heir later on. Let the man cook, geez… But still, it’s really entertaining and creative. 4 out of 5.

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.
