Spy x Family, Vol. 12 (12) Paperback – August 6, 2024

Great book series, very funny but family friendly, daughter loves them.

Anya is on top of the world! Having finally achieved the receipt of a Stella Star, she refers to herself as Starlight Anya! As Loid drives her to school, Anya thinks about Sy-on Boy and his family, but he mistakes her comments as criticism of his parenting and worries that the mission will be jeopardized because of him. Anya determines to be even nicer to Sy-on Boy, but once she gets to school and receives the accolades of her peers, her intentions go horribly awry.Thomas Austin, the tutor-in-residence, has had nightmares ever since the school bus hijacking, so the headmaster suggests a good psychiatrist – none other than Loid Forger! Will Loid be able to help him, or will he discover that the root cause of the man’s troubles isn’t what he thinks it is?Sylvia Sherwood is Loid’s handler, but she isn’t exactly the most tidy of persons or the most organized. Dried pasta on her clothes and files left at home are only the tip of the iceberg. She’s been living alone for so long that she has really stopped caring. When she goes to meet Twilight for a scheduled briefing, she is dismayed to find Anya there, as well as their dog Bond. Loid apologizes but it couldn’t be helped. Will Anya’s presence be a hindrance to the business at hand?Yor finds herself drawing closer to her co-workers and actually having conversations with them. But she starts to worry that she isn’t presenting her marriage as a typical marriage, according to what they say to her. So she decides to fabricate details in order to fit in. But will that plan backfire on her? Could it affect her relationship with Loid?The next day, Yor wonders if she was… inappropriate… with Loid, but she can’t remember. Anya is off to the zoo with Becky but before Yor can say anything to Loid, her brother Yuri pops in and immediately thinks Loid is doing something hurtful to his sister. Loid becomes paranoid, wondering if Yuri knows about his secret identity, while Yor is determined to convince her brother that she and Loid are a normal married couple, complete with arguments!It was inevitable that a situation might arise in which Loid would find himself pitted against his brother-in-law Yuri, who is a member of the SSS. Will Yuri learn that Loid is the mysterious Twilight he has been so desperately seeking? What if Loid finds himself in a position where he has to kill Yuri? That might make things awkward in the Forger household!Another great volume of Spy x Family. I love how the author incorporates more than just the main characters, fleshing them all out as well as he does the Forgers. While I want to see Operation Strix succeed, I am hopeful the story will continue afterward. I think the Forgers will become an actual family. I believe Loid and Yor already have feelings for one another. Think of the possibilities of the family as a team! This volume has come cute bonus stories as well.

So requested and loved this book

Great book but unfortunately did not arrive on the best conditions (due to the way that was packed).

This book came in amazing condition. This is one of my favorite manga series, and I cant wait for more of this to come out!

As the twelfth volume in the series, this does great at keeping the momentum. The first chapter does well in addressing the previous "bus arc" and it fleshes out some of the characters very well (notably the Handler who has been a mysterious figure in the previous volumes).The new arc in the later half is also very interesting and gives a very good cliff hanger. One odd thing I noticed is that there were many short missions this volume (2 called short missions and 1 that is just a few bonus pages). While another chapter likely could have gone here, I enjoy the filler in these books as it gives the characters more personality.Yor and Loid's relationship is also developed, though some of the reason Yor is mad at Loid feels forced (though I suppose that's the point). But she was drunk so I don't mind as much.All in all, this is a great new volume. Obviously read the previous 11 first, but would definitely recommend not just this volume but this series to anyone who like manga.

A wonderful gift, came well packaged

Don’t have much to say but AMAZING 🤩 loved the book series soo much so sad it ended.
