I will start by saying I haven’t touched the manga so my review will be based solely on the anime.

The premise of the show seems really cool, a hitman that has to try to live a normal life with his fake "sister" for a year. The setup was done and explained nicely in the first episode and I genuinely enjoyed it. But it goes downhill from there.

The cast of characters is really bland, they don’t bring much to the table bar the main character which reminds me in a lot of ways of Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza games. The pace of the show is ... way too static and sluggish to forget how boring the characters are even if I tried to forget about that aspect and try to enjoy this anime.

After completing 9 episodes it feels like the story didn’t progress much, 5 minutes of action get interrupted with 10 of a very dry and slow dialogue that kills all the momentum of the show.

I don’t have a problem with slower paced animes, but this one seems like a wasted potential since I really like the general idea of the show.

The animation is… like the rest of the show, average. But then again, it’s hard to let the animation shine when most of the screentime is taken by very static dialogue scenes.

Would I recommend it? As of now, it’s a waste of time and for a 24 episode show not to pick up until the half of it (if it even picks up at that point) you have to ask yourself if it’s really worth your time.
