This starts with the surprise visit from Yor's brother Yuri, who is, well, something of a mess, especially considering he is a highly competent member of the Secret Police. Yuri's plan to expose Loid by getting him drunk goes south quickly, and the scene just gets increasingly awkward when Yuri insists that Loid and Yor kiss.
In school, Anya plays dodgeball with the rumor that a coveted honors star is on the line. She later tries her hand at some community service.
Bonus story has Yor and Loid on a date night while Yor is trying to conceal a somewhat embarrassing injury.
The pacing in a few places in this volume felt weird, with scenes being dragged out, possibly in the case of the opening scene just to intentionally prolong the awkwardness. The result was that it didn't feel like all that much happened, although there was some good setup for future plot developments.
Rating: 6/10
