Hamster Master Arashiyama has been taken under Gero’s watch and he teams up with the Hitman Hunter, Piichi, to save her. But facing the leader of the Beast Master clan will be a monumental challenge.

Piichi’s back story is just violent hilarity and I have to give it to Kinosaki. They really go above and beyond for Gero. He’s lucky to have good people with him. The Beast Master’s ultimate form/abilities are impressively disgusting. He reminds me of too much splicing in Batman Beyond; just squirming parts of animals competing for space. The battle is well done and again, all the different assassins’ abilities working together is very entertaining. I had hoped Arashiyama would have done more but the fight isn’t over yet. 3.5 out of 5.

In order to protect Hamster Master Arashiyama, Gero not only has to face the Hit Man Hunter but the entire Beast Clan on their home turf including Beast Master Toshiro Dogo, the head of the clan.

This volume has a ton of action and Arashiyama is really funny. Of course, I’m a sucker for cute animals and watching little hamsters come in so handy is a fun part of the general cool factor of all these different abilities. It’s overall tense with some amusing moments but it really expands the assassination world and ups the threat. Beast Master Toshiro is also very, VERY creepy. 4 out of 5.

While acting as a body guard for Shiori, Gero faces the Sound Master Naruko. Then Gero must confront his next big challenge: attending his close friend’s wedding.

I mean… Given what we’ve gone through in this volume alone, there’s no way the wedding would be remotely normal. They also introduce the Hitman Hunter so, this volume is flying through plot points while I’d honestly hoped for more quality time with Mei and Gero. Not even for those two nutjobs to get together but because they’re so much fun to see interact. 3 out of 5.

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.
