Spy x Family, Vol. 2 by Tatsuya Endo

 
Spy x Family, Vol. 2 by Tatsuya Endo
My Rating: ★★★★★

After just barely scraping by the interview process, Twilight thinks his problems are finally over. Anya got into Eden Academy, so the rest of the mission should be a breeze… right? He quickly learns that the real challenge is getting Anya to either befriend his target’s son, Damian, or become an exemplary student. Twilight’s first plan flies out the window when it turns out that his target’s son is a bully who is about to learn that the daughter of a spy and an assassin is a force to be reckoned with.

I’m so glad that I picked this series up because it is absolutely hilarious. Just when Twilight, Anya, and Yor think they can breathe a sigh of relief, event after event shows them that they need to be quick on their toes. Each task they’re faced with leads to a series of events that are hilarious. I particularly loved how Anya dealt with mean kids at school thanks to Yor. The smile that she was giving her bullies was funny while also working in her favor. I’m interested in seeing how that storyline develops, especially now that she’s made herself a good friend.

I’m loving watching these characters bond in a way none of them expected. Watching Twilight discover the joys and stresses of parenthood is both adorable and hilarious. I’m excited to see Anya and Yor bonding now that they’re spending more time together. It’s also neat to see other spies making an appearance and seeing Anya end up with a big spy family. I love that these volumes are so funny while also letting us see how this found family was formed while giving us a glimpse at how strong their bonds will become.
