First of all, let me just laugh at myself for getting agitated over nothing in the previous volume 😭 This manga did start its story by hitting the nerves, that part is very much true because we have Twilight and Nightfall on a mission together. However, it seems like Nightfall's presence was used as a means for Loid and Yor to realize each other's feelings. Saurrrr... I guess mission abort? because what happened next was sooooo adorable.

We have Yor beating Nightfall on a tennis game that she first invited Yor because she thinks she could defeat her (Yor) and had Twilight down on his knees when that man did not bat an eye at all! I mean, it was speculated: my Thorn Princess will remain superior and while I know Fiona Frost aka Nightfall will not be done by a long shot, I am already pleased with where this is going. Yor realized that she was jealous, doubting herself, and started to confront Loid drunkenly on their dates, and Loid realized this — quick to propose Yor to be his real wife. Though I can't say that worked well, it was still wholesome to see these whole exchanges. We're getting progress!

Meanwhile, Anya's friendship with Becky also started to grow closer. We have them shopping together as Becky mistakes Anya's insistent to befriend Damian as infatuation and offers to help her have makeovers. While Damian did not have any major development, we get to know more about the absent attention he had been getting from his father (which breaks me) but thrilled me to see what Endo had in store now that Twilight finally will have a chance to speak to the infamous Donovan Desmond.

Therefore, as always and to no one surprises, this series continues to beguile me with its charming characters and entertaining storyline. The plot continues to mix parts of old-school James Bond with satirical elements that poke fun at the spy and family genres. There is a lot of story development going on, but it doesn't feel overbearing in any way, leaving you wanting more.

4.5⭐

I love this series. Please never stop writing this. I am well and truly obsessed.

Damian & Anya's bully romance has me HOOKED.

Not the biggest fan of Fiona. So her being a big part of this installment was meh for me. But I loved her and Loid disguising themselves as tennis pros. I love tennis and the storyline was so funny.

Can't believe I only have one more volume before I'm caught up and have to wait foooooorever.

*2.5 stars💫

probably my least favorite volume so far, but becky and anya have my heart!! the ending truly made me give it 3 stars👀

[Gabby · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably my least favorite volume in the series so far, I found the tennis scenes to be really slow, and I’m not the biggest fan of Nightfall and her character. But I also love how Yor and Twilights relationship develops even more in this volume 💕

[rain]

i really like how they didn't make anya and damian's relationship...toxic (for lack of a better word). i mean they sure don't get along *that* well but there's no cruel bullying and both of them have really loyal friends too. despite everything they're still just kids and im looking forward to more of their interactions. all of these characters are too precious 😭

[james · Rating 4 out of 5]

ah yes, i remember when i used to play tennis the opponents too would always enter the court saying things like "i will kill you" and "die"

[Victoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spy x Family is honestly one of my favourite series right now! I love it so much, I really hope it gets an anime sometime soon

Read twice: Re read this volume again so I can read 7!

Is this a slow burn romance ? 👀👀👀 because I need it

[Saranya [mostly ia] · Rating 2 out of 5]

Oh, I don't think I would be continuing with this series further. This is getting boring:(

I love Nightfall, but I also love Yor- so this is kind of upsetting me.

I'll miss Anya dearly🥺🥺🥺

[Marureviere · Rating 4 out of 5]

I, too, would want to be punched in the face by Yor Forger.

[Floripiquita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo que me he podido reír con ese partido de tenis.

[Emely Zoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fiona hat eine wirklich ungesunde Obsession mit Loid Forger. Mädel, Delulu is not the solulu!!! Es war einfach so komisch, aber im positiven Sinne!

Anya und Becky beim Shopping war einfach zuckersüß, da kann sich eine echt schöne Freundschaft entwickeln.

If this series could just never end that would be great thanks.

To be fair, I'm sure some of these books are objectively lower than 5 stars but they're so harmless and funny.

I love how much of Yor's internal emotions we get to see in this volume, and I'm hoping we get to see more emotional development from Loid soon, too. His thoughts about what a great mother Yor is melted me! 🥺

can’t get enough of anya’s school life, she’s so cute

SpyxFamily: the Tennis episode.

One star off for very little interaction between the family members, which I missed.
I liked the little kid parts the best.

Tomo 1: ★★★★☆
Tomo 2: ★★★★☆
Tomo 3: ★★★☆☆
Tomo 4: ★★★☆☆
Tomo 5: ★★★☆☆

Los capítulos del tenis fueron un poco aburridos para mí, pero luego la borrachera de Yor, como uno de esos momentos que mantienen humilde a Loid, jajajaja. Y amo mucho las interacciones de Anya con Becky, son super adorables.
Yor y Loid podrán no estar enamorados, pero a partir de este tomo los shippeo mucho sksksk (si, no desde antes). Igual Anya y el vato Desmond, que nunca recuerdo cómo se escribe su nombre.

Muy entretenido, el torneo de tenis genial y la compra de ropa de Anya muy graciosa.

This. Woman. Can. Leave.

[Hirondelle (not getting all notifications) · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am punishing this book with 2 stars because way too much tennis. Way way too much tennis (fake tennis) though Loid in tennis gear (Bjorn Borg inspired look) is cute (and hot for a manga character).

I am a simple person, I am reading this for Anya and the dog, and the other kids and Ok, Franky as a babysitter. I don't care about the adult plot - the over the top spy thing, third people making romantic advances on the main couple. Anya, the dog, the kids at school, that is what I want and I am going to unfairly, gratuitously rate each volume on desired contents. Also despite this, I also do not really care about fashion parades so the Anya and Becky going shopping episode was kind of wasted in me (except that ending... Maybe I should up it one star just because of that ending?)

So, thank you but not my favorite of the series, now on to the next ones...

3.5 ⭐

This was fun!! 🤩🤩 Definitely not my fave volume ever, but I still had a really fun time reading it and I just loved being back with the Forger family 💜💜 the tennis tournament was really entertaining and so was seeing Anya going shopping 😂💕

The only thing I didn't love was that there was a ton of Nightfall in here and I really don't like her 😬😬

Overall tho, another great Spy x Family volume!! 🥰🥰

《 2023 Challenge: Book 78 of 110 》

[Susan Atherly · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am still loving this series. For me, it is pitch perfect...but that could be that the fake daughter Anya reminds me of myself as a 1st grader. 😉

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

There's less Anya in this volume, which is definitely too bad, but Nightfall very nearly makes up for it. When we last saw her in volume five, she was bound and determined to prove that SHE was the better fake wife for Loid, and this time she thinks she has the perfect way to win his heart: by entering them in an illegal underground tennis competition!

Yes, you read that right - Spy x Family is never afraid to break out the absurdity, and the tennis competition, Campbelldon, is amazing. From Nightfall's decision to enter she and Twilight as "Twain and Nafalia Foney" to the increasingly ludicrous competitors, this is not just a great spy spoof - it's also a pitch-perfect send up of sports manga. That "Nafalia Foney" spends the entire game swooning over people thinking she and "Twain" are really married just adds to it, as does her Aim for the Ace! costume. (Twilight, meanwhile, is concerned that there's something seriously wrong with her.) Nightfall's dream comes to an end, however, when she foolishly challenges Yor to a match upon their return home. Yeah, I think we all know who's going to win that one.

Anya does get two chapters to herself, one where she and Becky go shopping, which features an Anya fashion show and is adorable, and another where she tries to figure out how she can get Loid to be able to meet Damian's dad. The latter really brings us to a major turning point (or at least a potential one) in the series, so there's actual plot to make picking up the next book feel urgent - as if we needed more reason to wish that they came out more frequently, right?

[Nicolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the best volume, and my favorite of the series, so far.

First, it introduced a new character in Agent Nightfall, a "tsuntsun" who has a massive crush on Loid Forger, aka Twilight. Some might say she's a "tsundere", but the only time she's "dere", is in her internal monologue when she's fantasizing about Loid. Thus, she's all "tsun", a "tsuntsun".

Second, the main storyline in this collection is a classic shonen manga staple, a battle tournament arc. Actually, it is two shonen tropes in one because it is a sports battle tournament, as Twilight and Nightfall enter an underground tennis tournament for a weekend mission.

Third, I just love the retro vibe of the character designs and their sports attire. Since the duo are on an undercover mission, Loid channels his inner Ivan Lendl as a disguise, complete with the long hair in a headband and a wooden racket. As for Nightfall, it appears she has Steffi Graf as her design inspiration.

The next few standalone chapters serve as epilogues of sorts when the main arc ends, and it making a seamless transition to move the overall plot (Operation Styx), forward.

This is a really funny volume. There are times I just break out laughing in chained bursts. Perfect reading anytime, especially in a pandemic, and in a quarantine. It deserves all 5 stars.

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

Didn’t really care for the long tennis game scene in the beginning.
But I thought it was funny how Fiona felt that if she proved herself an exceptional tennis player. She will then be a better wife for Loid. 😂
Great manga altogether

[S {Semi-Hiatus} · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.25 out of 5 stars.

*faints because of the suspenseful cliffhanger*

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another solid entry in the series develops the romantic rivalry for Loid Forger between his pretend wife and a fellow spy. Perhaps a little too much time is spent in a tennis tournament rife with cheating and over-the-top action, but the payoff in the end when the two romantic rivals face off over the net is worth it.

The back half of the book has a sweet story about friendship between daughter Anya Forger and her classmate Becky Blackbell (who is also occasionally referred to as Becky "Blackwell" in the cast list and at various points in the previous volumes for some reason). And we see a smidgen of actual progress in the seemingly never ending mission launched way back in volume 1.
