What is it, in summary?: Two assassins experience accidental child acquisition! Kazuki (cheerful blond guy hiding traumatic backstory) and Rei (antisocial dark-haired guy with an undercut, also hiding traumatic backstory) are roommates and also hitmen. One of their targets turns out to have a four-year-old daughter, Miri, and they wind up taking her in because they don't know what else to do with her. Comedy ensues as they do their best to parent a little girl!
What do you love about it?: I love "oops we have a kid now I guess"! I love Kazuki and Rei's relationship as it develops over the course of the show. I love how they both have terrible tragedy in their pasts, but cope with it very differently, and how they support one another through growing into their new roles. Miri, their acquired daughter, is an adorable character as well :3
If you like Spy X Family, but wish Yor and Loid got to do more murders, you might like this show!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Found family, friends to lovers, parenting mishaps, smut for Kazuki and Rei
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Not really
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Some violence due to the fact that they're assassins, past child abuse and character death.
