Spy x Family, Vol. 8: Volume 8

Product Information

I bought one of those vacuum room cleaners so I wouldn't have to spend so much time cleaning. But an entire month has passed and I still haven't found the energy to take it out of the box. Loid’s mission was to infiltrate an official in Ostania, but such can only be done if he first gets close to the school of his son. What began as a hefty albeit selfish plan of getting a temporary family for the sake of a mission, it seems, has now become something endearing to the hero. The majority of Spy x Family has more or less focused primarily on codename “Twilight” Loid Forger and his beloved adopted child, Anya. Yor for the most part has been underutilized. It’s not that she’s been completely off focus. It’s just that in contention with the rest of the main cast, she’s been slightly on the edge of the stage.

The agency knows just who to send when there is a husband and a child involved. Yor who is otherwise an assassin is now tasked with something she isn’t very talented with – to protect lives (and not take them). Yor’s on assignment and finds herself up against a gang of assassins on board a luxury cruiser. Meanwhile, Loid and Anya each discover that bombs have been planted throughout the ship! Will their best efforts be enough to save the vessel?

Similarly, the ‘ Thorn Princess’ master Assassin also couldn’t guess that her husband is actually a Spy on a mission. Now although this does defy logical continuum please mind that the plot is meant to be this way. SPY x FAMILY: Family Portrait • SPY x FAMILY Official Fanbook: EYES ONLY • SPY x FAMILY: Operation Coloring -FAMILY- • SPY x FAMILY Workbook: Anya's First English The first 7 volumes really did a number on Loid Forger. Obviously, given that the story begins with code-name “ Twilight” being tasked with a top-secret mission. The addition of Anya, an esper who’s capable of reading others’ thoughts, is one of the sweetest gestures of the plot. The dynamics between Anya and Twilight have always been at the forefront. Master spy Twilight is unparalleled when it comes to going undercover on dangerous missions for the betterment of the world. But when he receives the ultimate assignment—to get married and have a kid—he may finally be in over his head!

After getting it on release day, I’ve saved this volume for 3 & 1/2 months for that perfect rainy day. Because Spy x Family never disappoints. Violence: LOTS of brutal fighting with weapons and hand to hand with LOTS of spewing blood (rated R); several men get broken bones from various characters (on and off screen); LOTS of people die and there are many bodies that are thrown into the sea; characters are shot and shot at; heads are stabbed with knives (rated R); a man is stabbed by his comrades; a punch to the head; injuries and blood (rated R) Of course, Anya has no such motivation, she merely wants to be loved . And chapter by chapter Loid seems to care more and more for his adopted daughter. Given that much focus was given to Yor this time around, expect the story to unravel towards revelations soon. But don’t expect the revelation to happen anytime soon, S py x Family Manga is definitely in for a ride. Spy x Family Anime is all set to return for a season 2 this Fall 2022, October. Read more of that here. This is getting a 4 instead of a 5 because it doesn’t quite stand up to the rest of the volumes. Also, this was published shortly after the anime going into production. And you can definitely tell that this was written to be an episode of an anime, not a volume of a manga. While I love Yor’s action scenes in this series, there were so many in this volume that it left barely any room for dialogue. That being said, I’m very excited to see it in the anime. The focus has been on Yor which naturally takes the time away from Anya and Loid, but not in a way that hurts.The woman client (going by alias Shaty) that Yor is tasked with guarding has a husband and a child. Upon seeing the client react with her family, Yor gets a few doubts of her own. The client brushes Yor off, saying that it must be difficult not knowing what a real family feels like. Yor is unable to properly say anything, obviously. But this entire exchange does leave her stranded. Yor seems to be reconsidering what Loid and Anya mean in her life. Concluding But the oceanic voyage on the cruise ship is just what author Tetsuya Endo needed to pull off, and so he did. The primary development in the recent Volume 8 happened in the form of the Thorn Princess redeeming her initial priorities about her family. Yor’s Development was underwhelmed as the plot focused on Anya and Loid Yor Forger, via spyxfamily.fandom.com
