Spy × Family

So the movie has been a big hit at the Japanese box office. #1 for a consecutive month.

Really jonesing for that US release and the third season.

Wooohooo! That's fantastic!

Chapter 94:
What would have been a played-straight detective arc for the Forgers in a snow villa with new charas, a murderer, and a mystery to solve gets anticlimactically done by the end because of Anya and Bond's abilities...

I mean, it's a subversion that works and is perfectly sensible in universe. I enjoyed it.

It took me until the introduction of the guest characters at the lodge to realize which other series this was spoofing.

Hey, who put a Detective Conan chapter in my SpyxFamily?! Even shadow guy was invited .

But, seriously, that was quite a fun chapter and enyoed how everyone of the Forgers got involved since Loid is too skilled of a character, so he could quickly heal the wounded, fix the telephone, subdue the killer and easily deduct every detail without breaking a sweat; meanwhile Yor can't stop herself for looking suspicious as a killer, since she is one (but only during work hours); finally Anya and Bond are instantly able to find out who and when, so it took no effort at all. However there was a missed opportunity by not having Anya wear Bond's bowtie for a panel (maybe after finding a pair of glasses) .

Well, this was a bit of out of genre experience.

Totally expected a couple more chapters for the attempted murder mystery, but loved the subversion the right people at the right place resolved everything quickly.

Reminds me of the potential issues with Ace Attorney games on having a competent detective would leave nothing for the attorney to do but an incompetent one would get pretty annoying after a certain point.

The ending kinda felt like the author ran out of space. It felt rushed even for an anticlimax.

So I finally got around to read the last chapter and the name puns of the people at the lodge got to me harder than they should've.

"Max Slacker" raised an eyebrow, but then "Adrahma Queen" tipped me off what was going on and t just got more ridiculous from there.

TBF, our favourite family the FORGERS are not that far off.

Feels like it's an Ace Attorney game.

Dub trailer for the movie!

The nemesis of Max Power.

Chapter 95:
A party after exams, with formal attire, games, and a dance party which ended up becoming a war for who will dance with Damian. Shippers are prepared for the ultimate outcome, I bet...

Anya trying to win a dance contest with Damian. Not cause she likes him, but because she wants to impress Loid. Delightful!

Damn. This chapter just went full shoujo. Damianya shippers are eating good.

Well, this is going fast. First few pages, I thought that the party won't even happen this chapter, but we skipped right to it.

It was nice to see Anya have her own fan club.

Yeah, she got more admirers than I expected, but it feels believable with how each of them states their unique reasons.

Also makes sense that some kids aren't in the dating game for the politics.

"The only guy in Anya's grade that scored higher than him in her best subject" was a good pull.

It's funny at this point for Loid to insult Anya so directly, even in his thoughts.

That kid's headshape and his last name being Crowley is both funny and a bit concerning.

Chapter 96:

That was so cute! And I get the sense Anya is finally starting to reciprocate the crush, even if just a little.

Looks like Damian x Anya shippers will be feasting this week!

CUTE! YES, VERY CUTE!

I wonder if Loid heard Anya's confession, and if he believes it.
