Did they just adopt grandparents for their fake family? How lovely.

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

4.25 stars.

I missed all my dumdums so much!!
Anya and Becky never seize to make me laugh.
Loid and Yor's little moment together was all that I needed. Mr. Endo please create more moments like that. T_T
I love Yor and Melinda's friendship. I do hope the latter's actions are genuine though.
The Authens couple were adorable and delightful.
Also, am I sensing a new potential couple alert? I think I do.

It never crossed my mind that Yor's work colleagues would be on a volume cover, even though it should have. I'm loving it, though.

My wish for Ch 93: Let Anya score well in next chapter please 🤞😩❤️ she worked hard for this!!
Update ch 93: Stella+ Tonitrus- balanced as all things should be?!

Also loid asking Anya about her past?? He's suspicious but I loved how he didn't stress on that thing for her sake. I have a feeling he's going to dig in her past and we might get Anya's backstory!

Ooooooh!
That cliffhanger!! That cannot go well! What's going to happen with Anya?????
No we have to wait until the next volumen!!

[Zimmy W · Rating 5 out of 5]

love this series <3 but I'm this close to demanding an end to the yor/loid slowburn through violence

[Emely Zoe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Das war schon wieder so süß. Anya schließt ihre neuen älteren Nachbarn ins Herz und findet in den beiden quasi "adoptierte Großeltern".
Ganz gemeiner Cliffhanger, sodass man direkt Band 14 lesen möchte.

[Charity (Booktrovert Reader) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The characters in this will always be in my heart. That is why I continue to read these.

But the plot is starting to be really dragged out and nothing is happening. Sort of getting boring at this point.

yo no leo mucho manga, ni veo anime, porque nunca me engancho pero doy MI VIDA POR SPYXFAMILY

[BlaireReadsTheThings · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anya has a grampa and Granny now. Lol well kinda. And I love it for her.

Vi en mi librería favorita el nuevo volumen de Spy x Family y ni falta hace decirlo, lo compré en el acto. El volumen nos muestra el cierre de la confrontación anterior, con Loid fuera de combate y a punto de ser desenmascarado. Más allá de eso, el volumen no avanza mucho la trama principal-es de esos que se podrían llamar de relleno, pero personalmente no me importa mucho porque leo Spy x Family tanto por la trama como por las escenas absurdas e hilarantes que nos presenta regularmente. Ahora bien, el volumen sí hace hincapié en algo que hace mucho tiempo que se viene demorando pero que todos los lectores queremos conocer a estas alturas: el origen de Anya. Primero se vuelve a enfatizar su habilidad con la lengua antigua, una lengua muerta en el mundo de la ficción que no se habla en ningún país pero que por algún motivo Anya conoce bien. Y luego hay una breve escena que nos demuestra que incluso el mismo nombre de Anya puede esconder un significado ulterior (tal vez relacionado con el nombre de su país, o una sigla, no sabemos). ¡Pero más vale que el autor nos reserve una buena historia de origen!

Nightfall gets a good spotlight moment in the resolution of last volume's exciting cliffhanger, but then the rest of the book flatlines as we spend too much time first with Anya and Damian, then a new set of neighbors, and also Yor's coworkers.

Wake me when the next volume arrives . . .


FOR REFERENCE:

Contents: Missions 85-92 -- Short Mission 11 -- Confidential Files (Bonus) -- Franky's Secret Files

[Aurora · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series so much. I look forward to every volume. This was mostly the end of an arc from the previous volume.

[Rosa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Mr. and Mrs. Aasen addition to Anya's found family.

Read it for free once in Manga Plus app.

[Jillian B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Is there anything more fun than reading a new Spy X Family book? This one delivers all the silly laughs you’d expect AND introduces some great new characters. Unsurprisingly, it was awesome.

[Hilda · Rating 5 out of 5]

And we are back to the manga I love! And this introduces the new neighbors. An elderly couple that is absolutely adorable and are even making cookies and tutoring Anya. This girl needs it!

[Tori Tecken · Rating 3 out of 5]

The moments with the Forgers are continually the best part of this series. I am getting a little burned out on the amount of page count spent on the "fake relationships" in this series compared to the Forger family content.

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vol 13: (Chapters 85 - 92 + Short Mission 11)

[Kajol (faeries.alley) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think now the author should start revealing to the family members their profession and then coming to an understanding and or however the author has planned.. coz I am kinda tired of the shenanigans..

[Cecilia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read by biweekly chapters

[Cherokee Ford · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always, the burn is slow. The graphics are amazing. And Yuri’s obsession with Yor is weird.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Whatever my concerns are, there is no denying that Spy x Family is incredibly funny when it wants to be. Whether down to translation or original text, the phrase ‘booger constrictor’ made me laugh very hard, coupled with a perfect reaction afterwards.

Some of the best moments this volume are when it doubles down on its silliness, turning a good joke into something better. Yor’s brother practicing Yor Fu is a decent gag (even if I think it may violate a statute of limitations on Street Fighter II jokes). When some random mook recognizes him as a practitioner of Yor Fu, though? That’s just genius.

Even the increasingly annoying Nightfall manages to become the source of a decent moment when she pushes herself beyond the boundaries of human endurance over Loid and the story milks it for all it’s worth.

My frustration comes from trying to meld the very satisfying comedy with the dead serious spy caper. It’s not something the series has done well and has become increasingly noticeable as the narrative seems content to spin its wheels.

I mean, I don’t blame them. Anya steals the story constantly so it makes sense to focus on her. Her troubles with studying or her imaginary love life that’s built entirely on tea cakes are fodder for some of the best parts of this volume.

But then you have people getting shot, tales from the class struggle, a deadly serious moment about losing loved ones to conflict, and Franky talking through some very believable PTSD.

Also they throw water on the dog to make him look like a giraffe. Dramatic comedies exist, but, for all it does well, I don’t think this series knows how to mesh its two aspects together very well.

Which is my usual complaint, so go ahead and ignore it if you’re having fun. It’s just one of those things that grates at me. I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a massive upgrade from last volume and my score will reflect that.

4 stars - as promised. Some welcome laughs that land really hard bump this up, I can’t be giving it less than four stars if I laughed that hard at something, even if it has the same issues along with the usual characters that are dead boring.

[Brenda Waworga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never ever failed to lift up my mood!!! all the characters are super entertaining… but Anya and Damian’s story will always be my fav part in every book including in this one😍😍

All the episode in this book are super fun and funny i just couldn’t stop laughing

Plussssss bonus point for Indonesian translator, using some Indo pun and jokes enhanced the reading experience! love it! 😍❤️

[Zaneb · Rating 5 out of 5]

this volume felt like hanging out with an old friend who somehow got even more chaotic and loveable when i wasn't looking. i know some people are getting bored with this series, but i just love coming back to these characters.

[Jay · Rating 5 out of 5]

La trama va avanti, i volumi sono sempre più incentrati su questo ed è ancora tutto più godibile!
Eurekalipto ⭐

[Marureviere · Rating 4 out of 5]

We're actually finally getting hints of Anya's past here and there. I hope we get a more extensive exploration sometime soon.

read this in the bookstore today

[Nadja · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ich habe den Manga extra wieder über mehrere Tage verteilt gelesen, um etwas mehr Zeit mit der Familie Forger verbringen zu können. :)

[Katherine Sigarán · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Vol. in which most of the chapters were very good, the dynamic between Anya and Damian is always hilarious and fresh and it's because Anya is very funny, spontaneous and witty, the chapter about Yor and her coworkers pleasantly surprised me , and like Loid, the new neighbors intrigue me but I don't think they are spies, this Vol. would be perfect if Yuri had not appeared, all his stories seem very boring to me, the only good thing is that he is already beginning to suspect about Twilight, the guy alone it took like 80 chapters for that.

Un Vol. en donde su mayoría de capítulos fueron muy buenos, la dinámica entre Anya y Damian siempre es hilarante y fresca y es debido a que Anya es muy graciosa, espontanea y ocurrente, el capitulo de Yor y sus compañeras de trabajo me sorprendió gratamente, y al igual que Loid los nuevos vecinos me intrigan pero no creo que sean espías, este Vol. sería perfecto si no hubiera aparecido Yuri todas sus historias me parecen muy aburridas lo único bueno es que ya está comenzando a sospechar de Twilight el tipo solo tardo como 80 capítulos para eso.

[Adriana · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got some slight whiplash with the drastic changes in tone, but it remains utterly enthralling.
