Synopsis
For decades, the nations of Ostania and Westalis have waged an endless cold war. To investigate the movements of the president of a major political party, Westalis mobilizes Twilight, its best agent, to assemble a family to infiltrate the politician's school's rigged social events. But by a twist of fate, Twilight ends up adopting Anya, a young woman with telepathic powers, and "marrying" Yor, a professional! Unaware of each other's identities, this unusual trio will embark on surprising adventures to ensure world peace.
The anime adaptation of the work premiered on April 9th and has been a huge success.
