Comments	Chapter 2: Similar to my comment on Chapter 1, I'm confused why Loid isn't wary of Yor who is an assassin, especially since there are scenes that showcase her abilities and strength which are above average. Chapter 3: In this chapter there is something funny, Loid is quite troubled by Yor and Anya.

Main points of the story	This is the day of the announcement of who passed to the Eden Academy, and Anya did not make it. But it turns out that Henry Henderson informed that Anya is on the waiting list, meaning she can enter the Eden Academy as long as there is a student who declines to enter the academy. A few days later, the family received news that Anya was accepted, they were very happy and celebrated the achievement. Franky told Anya that she should ask for a gift from her father for her achievement, and Anya wanted to play spies in a castle. Loid agreed to it, and then they each played their roles, Anya was very happy and promised to do her best at the academy.
New vocabularies found	Vancancy, noggin, scruffy, sober, and infiltrates.
Comments	• I'm happy for Anya who got accepted into the Eden Academy. • When they were playing spies at the castle, I was surprised by Yor's increased strength and speed while drunk, but she also became somewhat uncontrollable.

Unforgettable scene from the story:

When Loid proposed to Yor with a ring made from a grenade safety pin.

My grade for this comic:

a. Good B. Average c. Bad

Reasons:

I like this comic, the story feels new to me. It's about a fake family consisting of spies, assassins, and a child with special abilities, but they don't know each other's true identities. The plot is also interesting, but in my opinion it's a bit slow, so I give it a B. Average grade.
