Un excellent tome que j’ai dévoré comme d’habitude ce que j’aime bien dans spy family c’est ce mélange entre ton sérieux et amusement. C’est un peu ma petite madeleine de Proust.

The story is finally progressing.. I think... I would love to see less fillers and more about the stories.

i'm in love with this story. it feels like therapy, it cured my depression.

[Urbon Adamsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

PT Este volume acabou por valer sobretudo pelos capítulos centrados em Henry e Martha durante a guerra; todo o restante conteúdo pareceu-me, sinceramente, algo mediano.

O foco do resto do volume recai essencialmente sobre as relações entre Damian e Anya, bem como sobre a dinâmica de Damian com a sua família, sem grandes momentos de destaque.

EN This volume ultimately stood out mainly for the chapters focusing on Henry and Martha during the war; everything else, frankly, felt rather mediocre.

The remainder of the volume focuses primarily on the relationships between Damian and Anya, as well as Damian’s dynamics with his family, without many standout moments.

Spy X Family books are ALWAYS a good time…however, I’m getting kind of sick on all the plots focused entirely on side characters. I want more of the main cast!

[Estíbaliz Montero Iniesta]

Adoro SpyxFamily porque al final siempre te deja una sensación muy reconfortante, pero tienen que dejarse ya de tanto relleno y meterle caña a la trama principal e importante.

i still like it but it's starting to drag 🥲

Martha's past shows a completely different side of the tragedies of war, and her interactions with the old woman who saves her shows that, underneath all the political nonsense, everyone is just a person. That's something Loid is slowly learning, and possibly one of the most important lessons in this series.

[S {Semi-Hiatus}]

I should’ve guessed that Martha would be on the cover right after Mr. Henderson.

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

The flashback begun in the previous volume comes to a bittersweet conclusion, then the rest of the volume veers around through some short stories featuring the main cast on a family outing, Damian hunting for treasure, a day in the life of Franky Franklin, and an awkward family dinner with the Desmonds.

Then the creator remembers that there is a central plot that needs a bit of forward momentum once in a while and gives Loid Forger a chance to assess and capitalize on the networking that Anya and Yor have been doing by taking them to a festival attended by many classmates and their families. It seems like we're on the verge of a breakthrough, but really it's like watching Gilligan's Island, because you know Loid has as much chance of getting out of Berlint as Gilligan had of getting off the island.

I loved the glimpse about the past. And I loved the story about Martha and Henry, as bittersweet as it was. I hope they get a second chance now, if not at romace, at least at resume their friendship. I'm intrigued about the dynamic of Damian's family, and I hope we start to see more about them and the main plot (now that things seems to start moving) in the next one.

[Martin Iguaran · Rating 3 out of 5]

El otro día fui a mi librería favorita a comprar el segundo volumen de la saga Blackwater, y de casualidad me encontré con el nuevo volumen de Spy x Family. Como ya estoy al día con la serie, y solo veo volúmenes nuevos cada cinco o seis meses, de modo que me posee la ansiedad y compro el nuevo enseguida.

Más o menos la mitad del volumen se dedica a narrar la conclusión de la trunca historia de amor entre Martha y Henry. Nos relata su regreso de la guerra y lo que sucedió a continuación. La otra mitad es un conjunto de historias individuales que no aportan nada a la trama principal. Si bien me gusta Spy x Family por la sensación reconfortante que brinda su lectura (al fin un manga donde no hay docenas de asesinatos, torturas, violencia descontrolada, etc) lo cierto es que al autor se le agotó el margen de maniobra para continuar por ese sendero.

El próximo volumen tiene que impulsar la historia principal (la operación Strix) o revelar el origen de Anya. Es el gran misterio que a la fecha permanece oculto. No solamente no sabemos cómo obtuvo su poder, tampoco sabemos si Anya es su verdadero nombre o si en realidad es huérfana. Personalmente, creo que Desmond tuvo algo que ver con el programa de experimentos que le dio a Anya su poder. No puede ser casualidad que se trate de un individuo tan extraño obsesionado con la incapacidad humana para entenderse los unos a los otros y que justamente el poder de Anya radique en poder comprender lo que los demás piensen constantemente.

(1) Some cute short stories here.

(2) " You don't have any lucky day."

That's harsh. 😄

(3) We see more of the servants of the Desmond Family.

(4) Looks like there are a lot of secrets in the Desmond Family, what gives?

PS: there are some meaningful comments on war in this volume and I appreciate it.

*NOTE TO SELF:* Read up to Mission 118 online (Shonen Jump), as they're not yet in collected, physical format. 《06.2025》

[Nadja · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mir hat der Band von Anfang bis Ende gefallen, auch wenn er aus mehreren kurzen Kapiteln/Geschichten bestand. Die Highlights waren eindeutig das Abendessen bei den Desmonds – die Stimmung war einfach gruselig – und der gemeinsame Besuch aller Schüler mit Familie beim Jahresfest.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

As much as I've enjoyed this series in the past, I've also consistently felt the plot is going nowhere, but stuck around because of my love for Anya. Fortunately, this volume was strong. Some painful backstory wraps up with hope for the future, followed by some filler, but then we're back to the plot in a way that's humorous but also opens up some very interesting possibilities for what's next.

Se suponía que esta era una historia graciosa y tierna. *se suena los mocos con ruido*

[Aurora · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little bit of a filler. Still enjoyable.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series always hits me different depending on the day and I’ll say this - it does both comedy and drama very well. The conclusion of Martha’s story of the war and her part in it is pretty harrowing.

Naturally, it also features an emotional gut punch on top of that, as if war wasn’t horrific enough without assistance or something. Becky’s interjections provide a little levity and the whole thing ends up putting her Loid fixation on the down-low, which is probably for the best.

There’s an interesting mix of both styles of Spy x Family stories in this one, honestly. My gut still tells me that having two separate series would arguably accentuate their strengths more. This is a manga where people get shot in the head and also underground tennis tournaments exist, after all.

Still, there’s the sense that things are picking up a little steam. Donovan Desmond shows up for more page time than he has in ages, and the volume has an absolute field day with the tensions that brings out.

It’s exploration of Damian’s home life, complete with an image that seems ripped out of Citizen Kane, plus a ridiculous “adventure” based on his life of utter privilege, help to flesh out his desperate need for approval from his father as well as his much better relationship with his mother.

Damian’s mom gets the most interesting character moments this time out, honestly, as we see the anxiety she lives with and her need for help. It ends up working into the main plotline, but seeing mental health brought up was a nice touch (especially when examined via the stigma of the era).

The drama works better than the comedy, but the comedy is pretty good. The seal part is basically a bit of a break more than anything, but the festival is a hoot. Seeing Loid short circuit because he can’t not be angling for an advantage is a fun twist on his character.

I’ll never fully love this series, although it is incredibly good. The things that bug me tend to do so in exactly the wrong way, but I won’t deny that it does a lot right too. Heck, even that Frankie chapter is pretty solid.

4 stars - pretty good volume all around and perfect for fans of the series. Nothing terribly wrong with it, truly.

Series: Spy x Family Ch. 100-108
Rating: 3 stars - I liked it

This volume continues Martha and Henry’s story and it continues to be an emotional one. Martha is a badass who survived the war, her injuries, and making her way back to Ostonia on foot. The more I know about Martha, the more I like her. I wasn’t expecting the ending of their story and it was sad, but maybe we will get more info in the future about their life right after the war.

After that story arc, we jump back into various escapades with the Forgers and Anya. These are cute little stories and it's great seeing the reluctant friendship between Anya and Damian. Also, I am very curious about Damian’s mother and what the situation is with her husband because clearly there is some trauma there.

This volume was kind of a weird mixture of very serious and emotional story and then the silly adventures of childhood. I really enjoyed the first half a lot but the jump back to lighthearted and fun was a bit harsh for me.

Chapters #100/108

the continuation and culmination of Martha and Henry's lifelong "love"
through the war and their meeting after.

I am dyingggg for more Loid centric missions but this one was amazing! I loved the Festival scenes and learning about Melinda’s story with Damian’s dad and her whole fortune telling arc is SOOO interesting. I’m praying we actually get to see her therapy session with Loid that they teased at the end here😭🙏

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

A filler volume. Very cute nonetheless.
