I really enjoyed the start of this volume, I loved getting to learn more about Loid’s back story, it was very interesting and gave more depth to his character. The middle to end was a little slow for me, but it set up some things that I think will be fun to read in future volumes. I’m looking forward to the battle of the friendship schemes haha

"Battle of friendship" scheme is here.

SYLVIA SHERWOOD HAS ME BY THE THROAT/HEART/BRAIN/CHAIN/MEMBRANE & all other humanly parts.

This was such a breath of fresh air to a series I had previously second-guessed. I thought an episodic cutesy manga series couldn't possibly draw me in past 6 volumes. But this one made me question that.

It's so cute and fun and badass in the weirdest ways.
That being said, I've reinvested myself in this series and will update you as I go along as to whether or not it remains worthwhile (in a monetary sense as well as an entertainment sense).

edit: omg the cover is so cute and heartbreaking at the same time! 🤌🏼🥲🥺🥺

well, this was a rollercoaster of emotions. Loid's past was painful to witness. no child should ever go through that 💔🥺
also, the battle of friendship has begun! so excited for what's next! 🤩

cw: war, child abuse

I loved getting to know Loid’s backstory. I felt so emotional for that boy.

3.5/5

My 1000th book on Goodreads turned out to be Spy x Family. Well, I'm definitely not mad about that.

just as i was beginning to feel that the story was growing a bit directionless, we’re hit with a devastating flashback and some major plot movement happens??? endo are you reading my mind 🤨

Con este volumen Spy x Family confirma algo que ya se viene insinuando desde el principio de la serie: que si bien es, principalmente y ante todo, una comedia (y una excelente), también tiene tramos sumamente oscuros que no están pensados para hacer reír, ni mucho menos. Aproximadamente la mitad de este volumen nos cuenta sobre la infancia de Twilight, algo de lo que ya teníamos alguna idea pero por primera vez se muestra en detalle. No voy a entrar en spoilers. Es suficiente decir que se muestra toda la brutalidad y locura de la guerra, y se deja en claro (como sabiamente señaló la handler a los aspirantes a terroristas del volumen #4) que la guerra es una monstruosidad que solo los estúpidos y los incautos glorifican.
El resto del volumen es Spy x Family en su más pura esencia: comedia de calidad. Como siempre, ansioso porque salga el siguiente volumen.

My favourite fake family is back on track after a slight stumble in Volume 9. I can't wait for Volume 11!

[Rodrigo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Primera parte descubrimos un poco sobre la infancia de Yoid y los inicios de la guerra entre los 2 países, luego sigue el plan a, o el B (ese es el más difícil de cumplir debido Anya, jajaja) y surge otro plan el C.
A la espera del proximo volumen...

miren que no soy muy del manga y anime pero este manga? AÑOS de vida me ha dado

[Emely Zoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ganz starker Band mit Rückblick in die Kindheit von Loid. Total herzzerreißend und emotional.
Trotzdem fehlt es nicht an Witz und komischen Situationen 🤓
Meiner Meinung nach bisher einer der besten Teile 📚

[aly ☆彡 (on vacation) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty much a filler volume but an enjoyable one still.

This would usually be at my three stars level read but giving it for Anya, as always 🫶🏻

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

Loi Loi's backstory will never not break my heart. 😭

Tatsuya couldn't have illustrated a crueller and heart wrenching cover for this volume now, could he?

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

I was premature at saying the series had reached a peak in an earlier volume. No, this one was even better. We get a serious wistful chapter about child Twilight that is actually both moving but not jarringly out of synch with the series, character development for Lor also, the kids being kids (and Damien actually being the kid with most depth), the pains of being a headteacher and surprise twist with a new character who seems so very cool. Yes all the way.

And I keep saying this but it keeps being true, or getting better, I love the art. Art matters in graphic novels, but I love how expressive, while very clean, everything is, the expressions, the little details, the choice or borders, the scale, the range of art techniques...

[rory (jess' version) · Rating 4 out of 5]

as usual, this is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. from me crying over loid's childhood past and how he yearns for that childhood freedom even if he grew up, to me giggling and laughing my ass off over the same craziness of anya's antics and her dynamics between her parents and her friends

[Ricardo Medina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked that the missions were quite longer on this tome (only 4, two of them quite long).
As good as always!

[Sarah | The Marsies · Rating 5 out of 5]

Le meilleur tome jusqu’ici !

Omgggg j’étais pas prête pour l’émotion. C’est toujours aussi drôle, Anya me fait mourir de rire. Très très sympa d’en savoir plus sur le passé de certains perso.

J’ai beaucoup aimé toute la morale qu’on essaye de faire passer. Que tout n’est pas blanc ou noir et que l’arme la plus puissante ce sont les mots et les informations qui peuvent détruire par une simple formulation. C’était très émouvant

J’ai vraiment l’impression qu’on avance aussi dans l’histoire tout en continuant à s’attacher de plus en plus aux perso donc ça fait plaisir !

[Jenny · Rating 4 out of 5]

After everything Loid has been through he deserves nothing less than to fall in love and settle down with Yor and raise his little family and that is the only ending I will accept in the future.

[♡︎ · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars! the highlights of this volume were the look into loid’s background and yor playing volleyball and i will be treasuring these moments forever.

[⋆.˚ Ariana ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ommoooo the one on the cover is baby Loid🥺. My little heart!

It was so great yet tragic to read/see Loid’s childhood days and how he came to become a spy.

Anya was able to make me laugh yet again.

And I’m still waiting for that kiss from Loid and Yor😤. Ik it’s been 3 months only since they got married and stuff, but it’s VOLUME 10!!! At least give us some thing!

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh, hey, after a long digression the family actually tries to make some progress on their primary mission. Well, no, first we have to get through a secret origin of Twilight/Loid Forger that reaches back to his childhood and follows him through war and his entry into the intelligence service. But THEN the family makes some progress.

The funniest bit in the book is when Loid reviews the current progress and calculates how much longer the mission will take if they continue at that rate. It's nice to see some acknowledgement of the pacing problem of this series.

[Chelsea 🏳️‍🌈 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a bit of a mixed bag, but the good parts were really good!

I loved learning more about Loid’s past, even with how tragic it is. It makes sense why he’s so determined and why he’s weak to Anya’s sadness. It’s interesting we dealt more with that during the interview process to get into Eden and it hasn’t really come up beyond a few lines about Anya being worried about being abandoned again. Now, Loid is focused on the importance of friendship.

The story about them saving the visiting celebrity wasn’t as entertaining to me, to be honest. And it was longer than expected.

I liked seeing Yor branching out and making friends. That was nice and I always like when the story talks about her fear of appearing “normal”.

Not a ton of Anya in this volume and that was a bummer.

[Jess | jadecanread · Rating 3 out of 5]

Me before reading this volume: Oh my gosh, baby Loid on the cover!!

Me after reading this volume: pain ;-; This cover hurts even more.

Still feels like filler but there are developments in the mission.

[Keiko, the manga enthusiast ♒︎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loiloi's backstory is just so frigging heartbreaking!!! NO I DIDN'T CRY. I REALLY DIDN'T 😭

[ani gray-carstairs · Rating 5 out of 5]

pocas cosas m hacen tan feliz como este manga rejuvenezco 100 años cada q lo leo

[Spens (Sphynx Reads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Actual rating: 4.5

Another solid volume of a great manga! This is a lot darker than previous volumes but provides a compelling backstory for Loid.

Spy X Family is my comfort series - idc if people think that this and Chainsaw Man are overrated! They kickstarted my love for anime, and especially manga, again! 💖🥰

Wow. The first two mini chapters of this volume were DARK. It’s Agent Twilight’s backstory, him growing up during a time of war. He experienced devastating loss.

Also, when we get back to the main story, Yor constantly trying to better herself as a mother to Anya is so adorable… but she doesn’t realise she’s already doing so well 🥹 Have to ask the question; why is this fake family actually better than some real families I s2g…?! I wanna join the Forger family so bad 😅

loid's backstory had me rolling on the floor in tears i can't do this
