I think Mr. Henderson would find this cover very elegant.

Das war ein sensationell guter Band! Das besondere Augenmerk auf die Kindheit und Jugend von Professor Henderson und Martha hat mir super gut gefallen. Ich wusste nicht, dass ich diesen Rückblick der beiden brauche...aber ich habe ihn gebraucht!😍🥹
Das war sehr elegant!

La historia del profesor Henderson 😭😭😭

[Urbon Adamsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

PT Este volume reúne três arcos distintos, cada um com a sua própria atmosfera.

O primeiro faz lembrar as clássicas histórias de Poirot, em que várias personagens se encontram reunidas num mesmo local e, após um assassinato, cabe descobrir quem é o culpado entre todos os presentes. Gostei imenso deste arco, embora seja demasiado curto. Tinha potencial para ser mais desenvolvido, mas percebe-se que funciona sobretudo como um tributo a este género de narrativa.

Segue-se um arco centrado numa festa que junta várias escolas, onde Anya volta a tentar conquistar a atenção e o reconhecimento do segundo filho — uma dinâmica já explorada em momentos anteriores, mas que continua a render boas situações.

Por fim, uma história particularmente interessante que mergulha no passado de Henry Henderson e Martha Marriott, explorando a relação entre ambos e recordando os tempos mais duros da guerra entre o Leste e o Oeste.

Um volume que oferece uma leitura divertida, variada e sempre cativante.

EN This volume brings together three distinct arcs, each with its own atmosphere.

The first one recalls the classic Poirot stories, where several characters are gathered in the same place and, after a murder, the challenge is to discover who among them is the culprit. I really enjoyed this arc, although it feels too short. It had the potential to be further developed, but it’s clear that it mainly serves as a tribute to this type of narrative.

Next comes an arc centered around a party that brings together several schools, where Anya once again tries to win the attention and recognition of the second son — a dynamic that has already been explored in previous moments, but still manages to deliver entertaining situations.

Finally, a particularly interesting story that dives into the past of Henry Henderson and Martha Marriott, exploring their relationship and revisiting the harsher times of the war between East and West.

A volume that offers a fun, varied, and consistently engaging read.

[NON · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed these slow-paced chapters a lot because they focused more on world-building and characters' backstories like Henry and Martha; their story is heart-wrenching, and the sentiments Endo-sensei is conveying are relevant to this day.

Bizarre de ship des enfants de 6 ans mais je suis dans le train Anya X Damian je vais pas mentir

[Aurora · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need more loid and Yor like rn

[Jillian B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spy X Family books are always a dopamine booster and this was no exception. This volume was very Anya-focused (which I always love) and also delved into the surprising backstory of two side characters. So fun!

Chapter 110: Twilight is so cooked 💀💀💀💀💀

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is probably my favorite recent volume. It balances two overlapping stories, one very cute and funny story with Anya, and the other a more tragic backstory for another character, very well.

THIS IS THE LAST BOOK MY LIBRARY HAS ON LIBBY AND I JUST HAVE TO STOP ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF HENDERSON’S BACKSTORY?!? 😭😭😭

[Martin Iguaran · Rating 4 out of 5]

Y el día menos pensado reapareció mi manga favorito en las librerías. Sobra decir que lo compré en el acto.
La acción continúa con los resultados de los exámenes: Anya recibe una stella por sobresalir en el examen de lengua antigua, y también un tonitrus por fallar en matemáticas.
Finalmente conocemos al hermano de Damian, un prodigio académico con tantas peculiaridades que pareciera que la familia entera-salvo Damian-salió de un loquero.
Se celebra un baile entre los alumnos, donde Anya le revela a Damian-la primera persona en toda la historia-su poder. Y aunque no se lo toma en serio, creo que podría en el futuro de hecho ser la primera persona que de verdad comparta el secreto de Anya.
Aproximadamente la mitad del volumen nos muestra el pasado del profesor Henderson y su historia de amor con Marta, la guardaespaldas de Becky. Es una historia muy hermosa-tanto más por ser trunca-pero también es un fuerte alegato en contra del belicismo y el adoctrinamiento ideológico.
Mi única crítica radica en que el autor tiene que empezar a impulsar la historia principal (la operación Strix) o revelar el pasado de Anya. El siguiente volumen no puede ser de "relleno" en el sentido de que deje esos puntos todavía en suspenso. Aparte de esa observación, me encantó.

There were some fun chapters in this volume but what a heartbreaking final few chapters.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although I love Spy x Family best when it's funny (welcome back, Wet Bond!), Endo's ability to also make it poignant while capturing the horrors of WWII are also stunning. This volume, which takes us into Mr. Henderson's not-so-elegant past, is a striking portrait of how war affects everyone, both past and present. It's not pretty. It's not funny. It's not meant to be, and that Endo can make it as emotional as he does is a testament to the strength of this series.

Split story between Anya trying to get Damian to be her dance partner
Mr.(Henry) Henderson's past is explored ...with a potential romance..

cute, but the filler chapters are starting to get on my nervesss

[Fereshte · Rating 3 out of 5]

sadly this was mostly just filler chapters :(

[Artemissia G · Rating 3 out of 5]

Depuis quelques tomes, je trouve que ça commence à devenir long. L’intrigue principale n’avance pas plus dans cette suite. Ce que j’ai aimé : comme toujours, la partie avec Anya, l’école d’Eden me ravit toujours autant. J’adore Anya et sa pseudo amourette avec Damien. C’est toujours très drôle à suivre.
J’ai eu un coup de cœur pour l’histoire de l’intendant de l’école, Henry et de l’intendante de la famille Blackbell, Martha. Ça m’a beaucoup touchée même si pour l’instant, je ne vois pas trop ce que ça va apporter au récit principal.
Ce que j’ai le moins aimé : les quelques pages sur les vacances aux skis et l’intrigue à la Agatha Christie. C’est sympa, mais ça n’a aucun intérêt.
Dans l’ensemble, je reste frustrée, déjà parce que ça n’avance pas et parce que j’ai l’impression que le mangaka tire sur la corde vu le succès de son histoire. Bien sûr, ce n’est que mon avis personnel.

Bellissimo. Adolescenziale.

[catherine ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I started this manga I thought it was just some cute found family story, but wow, the anti-war messaging is so powerful. And of course Damianya at the dance is adorable.

[Ronald · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume started strong even if it was just a locked room mystery that a classic mystery writer would have written flaws and all. But then the minutia of school politics and social classism for a dance. It was so bad. Then we get chapter after chapter of Mr Elegant's life as a student and the girl he loved. Not elegant at all. 2.5 stars - boring - does not advance the overall story.

[Hilda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super cute update with Anya and Damian dancing. Those little family side quest are always a favorite! I miss Yor and Loid though. I want more of the main characters but this was still very nice.
