Plot[edit]

The series follows Taiyo Asano, a boy who lost his family in a car crash. His childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura, is his only comfort in life. However, things change for Taiyo again, when he discovers that his vice-principal is not only the older brother of Mutsumi, but she also comes from a family of spies. After a fight involving the Yozakura family, Taiyo becomes Mutsumi's husband, and in order to protect her, he must become a spy himself.

The Yozakura Family[edit]

Taiyo Asano (朝野 太陽, Asano Taiyō)
Voiced by: Reiji Kawashima[4]
The main protagonist of the series. He is also the husband of Mutsumi. He is very kind and compassionate, which is very surprising in the world of Spies. Originally an ordinary human, his training to be a spy has caused him to become superhuman. His reason for marrying Mutsumi is because of the Yozakura family's one rule: "No killing among family"; the one thing that would protect him from getting killed by Mutsumi's overprotective brother Kyoichiro. He specializes in using Yae, a revolver that fires electricity instead of bullets, and can transform into a katana. After Mutsumi gives him some of her blood, he gains abilities of the Yozakura family, including the ability of "Blooming". His Blooming ability allows him to harden his body. His signature color is red.

Voiced by: Kaede Hondo[4]
The main heroine of the series. She is the wife of Taiyo. She is sweet, loving and responsible, she is the tenth head of the Yozakura family.

Her signature color is blue.
Kyoichiro Yozakura (夜桜 凶一郎, Yozakura Kyōichirō)
Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi[4]

His blooming ability lets him coat his threads in his blood to corrode and destroy everything around him. His signature color is black.
Futaba Yozakura (夜桜 二刃, Yozakura Futaba)
Voiced by: Akari Kitō[4]
