Loid not hurting yuri because of yor, falling on his knees as soon as he entered his home and saw yor, yor getting hurt at the same time loid got shot when they were so far away(they're soulmates I will not listen anything else), all of these moments stay in my head rent free 👍❤️




Also, I miss spyxfamily Saturday night episodes badly😭

[Aurora · Rating 5 out of 5]

The volume has had the biggest cliffhanger so far in the series and I’m screaming.

[Vic]

SxF chapters 79-86 you will always be famous.

[Katie Colson · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5⭐️
Any time Yuri is focal point of the plot, a star inherently gets removed.

[Sylvie {Semi-Hiatus} · Rating 4 out of 5]

This keeps getting better and better.

[b. ♡]

finally some spy activity in spy x family

[Riya Bhatia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t need volume 13 immediately, I don’t need volume 13 immediately, I don’t need volume 13 immediately
Maybe if I say it enough times I’ll believe it?
That Yuri x Twilight encounter was SOMETHING. I could almost feel Twilight’s pain, hurting Yuri.
I also need more of Yor and Loi Loi together 😫

OMG I have to go to the comic store and buy the 13th volumen right now!!!

[Martin Iguaran · Rating 4 out of 5]

La familia favorita del manga está de vuelta. El otro día pasé por la librería y cuando vi el nuevo volumen de Spy x Family, lo compré en el acto. Unas cuantas risas nunca vienen mal. Este volumen retoma la acción casi inmediatamente después de lo sucedido, y no se puede decir que avance demasiado la trama (algunos podrían decir que es un volumen de relleno) pero como leo Spy x Family más por los personajes entrañables y las situaciones absurdas que atraviesan, personalmente no me molesta mucho. Escuché recientemente en redes que el manga estaría por comenzar un arco serio acerca de los orígenes de Anya, así que voy a estar atento a los próximos volúmenes.

[Emely Zoe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wieder spannend und actionreich gepaart mit ein paar entspannteren cozy Sequenzen. Ein bisschen mehr Humor hätte ich mir gewünscht, aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau 🤓

[Fereshte · Rating 4 out of 5]

some of the chapters were indeed fillers but the story's finally getting somewhere 🔥 and that cliffhanger was just 🤌🏼

[Lia Strange · Rating 4 out of 5]

puedo no tocar el manga por mas de un año pero cuando vuelvo a leerlo me engancho, we love here

[Urbon Adamsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

It seems that whenever Anya isn't the focal point of the plot, the interest in these stories drops significantly. This volume exemplifies that issue.

While it's still a good read, the series appears overly dependent on Anya's presence—something the author is likely already aware of.

[Rosa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm looking forward to see what Mrs. Desmond will mean for the Forger's lives in the future.

Read it for free once in Manga Plus app.

[Aleksandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

OH LOOK, it's my favourite dysfunctional family agaiiin🙂‍↔️



*opens volume 12*



*immediately starts smiling like an idiot*





One of the things I particularly enjoyed was how naturally the story continues to develop the relationships between the characters without forcing anything - the Forger family might have started as a complete fabrication, but every volume makes it harder and harder to see them as anything other than a real family🥹

And don't even get me started on how much I adore that



*aggressively points at Loid*



MY MAN


Still overworking himself. Still carrying the weight of world peace on his shoulders. And yet STILL somehow oblivious to approximately 97% of what's happening around him I‘m-😭




And then there's Anya - mY CHILD and the source of approximately 80% of the comedy in this series🤧

Every time she appears on page, I just know something unhinged is about to happen lmaoooo

*and somehow it always does*




What I also appreciate is that despite all the humor, the series never completely forgets the heavier themes hiding underneath: the consequences of war, the desire for peace aaaand the loneliness many of these characters carry with them



The pacing remains excellent, the humor consistently lands, and every chapter somehow manages to leave me wanting just one more-



And then one more




And then one more-




*and suddenly the volume is over*




*betrayed once again*




*cries*

Why’d you leave me with that cliffhanger? 😤

[Hirondelle (not getting all notifications) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cliffhanger! On a weekend, and the next volume in english has not been released yet (though it has been in Portuguese, weirdly, though that translation is weird and it is not on my library yet).´

New adventure arc, spy and counter spy, a lot of Yuri, oh joy (no. Sarcasm intended. I actually think I see Yuri and I downvote instinctevely, so to speak). Lovely lovely episode with Sylvia and Anya and Loid and two dogs playing but the main adventure arc, the spy stuff does leave me quite cold and I wanted more of all hinted in previous collection, but this new arc.

The art is still fantastic or even more. Cold style for everything cold war related, but the expressiveness when it comes to faces and bodies, the layouts, all of it is just so masterful, so rich.

I LOVE SYLVIA

[Jillian B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spy X Family never fails to make me laugh out loud more than any other series. I thought the first half of this book, which is more focused on the family’s antics, was more fun than the serious spy mission in the end. I think I’m in the minority here, but I like the silly hijinks more than the actual spy stuff. Still, I had so much fun reading this.

[Brenda Waworga · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was FUN as always 😂 tho there isn’t much progress about anything 😌 the ending was cliffhangery and i cannot wait for the next volume!!

[annie ❦ · Rating 5 out of 5]

some chapters were really fillers indeed but whatever that twilight and yuri encounter was showstopping! plus there were more loid x yor dynamics how could i not give this a 5 star? 😫

[Zimmy W · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhhh omg wait now I'm fully caught up what do I do with myself 😭

[Vani · Rating 4 out of 5]

What's not to like? That cliffhanger ending though 😰

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

An exciting outing that actually involves espionage! A mole is fleeing Westalis with information that could compromise Loid's mission. He and Nightfall make full use of their skills as they move to intercept the mole before he can deliver the file to the Ostonia secret police. And this mole is no pushover.

Best of all, before all that gets underway, we get to follow a drunk Yor on a girls' night out hashing out some of her feelings about her marriage to Loid.

[The Other Silas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Listen, LISTEN! I know chapters 85 and 86 are not part of this volume but I read them in succession and didn't realize it until after the fact so 1. cut me some slack I'm gonna put them in here, and 2. If I don't, I might EXPLODE!!!!! So, from henceforth, anytime I say "this volume" I mean "this volume plus 2 chapters" okay? Okay.

SHIT!! WAS THIS A PHENOMENAL VOLUME!! The Wheeler mission dragged me by the hair across the entire tri-state area and now I'm in need of stitches, booze, and therapy. What do you MEAN by showing me Loid who's begun caring SO MUCH about his family that he'd put his own life at risk by holding back and not killing Yuri?? What are you TRYING TO SAY by showing me how Loid loses his guard the moment he's inside the house!!? How DARE you show me a Loid SO frazzled by Yor!!!????

I- This- Me- HUH!!?

Also, I was SO sure Yuri was going to recognize the wound but I'm glad it happened in a blunt obvious way and not in a subtle, scary way. That would've been bad... But he'll find out eventually and I don't know if I'm ready or not.
Also, Yor trying to find gripes to seem normal is the single most Yor thing she's ever done. But her telling Loid to let her shoulder some of his burden? To let her take care of him?? Ma'am!!?


I love this manga, this family, and this disaster protagonist so much, your honour, I'm in tears. I need help. Please and thank you.

If you could SEE my face right now...

This is the second volume in a row (do the rest of them do that? I can't remember) that it's ended in a very... intense kind of way. And I don't think I like it. I'm concerned though... I wanted the end of book 11 explained more, but instead I have even MORE unanswered questions..

Oh well, guess I'm off to wait some more.

Thank you VIZ Media for the ARC!

This volume has a lot of great action and ends on a cliffhanger. Thankfully, I already have the next one
