It's too bad, an unbelievably good premise.

That first bit where he pulls the grenade pin and gives it to her is so fucking funny. And I love weirdo Yor! Forced to grow up too fast is a great character for an assassin! It just feels like eventually it turns into "haha, she is a ditz" and it's so boring

That promised a lot! And the drunken fight they have in the castle, should've foreshadowed them becoming enemies so they could then fall in love for real. The kayfabe should wear on them! They should be 2 sides of a cold war with Anya and Dog being the metaphorical innocent who suffers

Not to mention the immense power Floid has over her given he can summon agents and have them play pretend with his daughter for no real reason. There's a lot implied there! And.... Nope. It really feels like it's the publishing agenda, they'd rather not have Ippo kiss his girlfriend yet, forever

There was so much avenue for tension. Loid becoming more manipulative as time goes on (maybe turning her against her brother), Yor being tasked with more high profile kills, people they know, people Loids agency would prefer alive. Maybe they are both assigned to each others trails

Ten car pileup: Yor is assigned to kill Loid, but never figures out who he is, just intercepts his missions. Loid struggles to hold their marriage together while staying alive; Yuri traces Yor's murders to their house but thinks it's Loid Eventually they realise cold war is no peace at all (theme!)
