I listen to YouTube videos at work, which is how I heard of this.Let's start with Loid Forger. He lives in Berlint, Ostania, remarried about a year ago, and has a daughter from a previous marriage. Well, that's what the paperwork says. Actually, he married Yor Briar in between the second episode and third episode, because he needs a wife to get his daughter into Eden College, and she's heard that Ostania's secret police are looking rather suspiciously at unmarried women above a certain age.
Except that he's lying to Yor; Loid Forger is actually a cover identity for Westalis's top agent, a master of disguise under the codename of Twilight. He's trying to find out why an Ostanian official is pushing for a war between their countries, and the only path they have is through this official's second son, who attends Eden College.
Yor Briar works at the Berlint city hall, and her younger brother Yuri will tell you that she worked herself bloody to get him through school. Although that's a bit of a lie that she tells him; as Thorn Princess, she's one of Ostania's assassins, specializing in traitors to the country. So she did work herself bloody - it just wasn't her blood.
Anya Forger, of course, isn't actually Loid's daughter. He adopted her as part of the plan. She's not too bright, because of living most of her life in Ostania's orphanage system. However, she does have one advantage. She's a receptive telepath, albeit one with no brakes.
And so, you have the Forger family, a family where the only person who knows what's really happening is keeping quiet about it because she watches too much Bondman.
It's sweet, occasionally chaotic, comedy gold. And watching Anya when her face goes "BWAH?" is always worth it.
I was leaning towards buying a Crunchyroll subscription anyway, this just sealed the deal.
