Spy x Family Volumes 1-4

Adventure, spy series set in a 1960's-esque, post-war Berlin-like setting. Great mid-century aesthetic touches including clothes, cars, and furniture! This manga is everything! Funny, clever, sweet.

Volume 1.
Like everyone else seems to, I love this manga! Funny, sharp/appealing art style and filled w/ cool, elegant swagger. Anya (daughter) steals the show, but Twilight’s (father and spy) dichotomy as cool spy+developing warm family man=lovely. Rated older teen, but I disagree. Vol 1=fine for middle school IMO.

Spy x Family Volume 2

It just keeps getting better! The humor ramped up in volume two. Love the setting—a faux 50s/60s-esque West/East German-like world. The color palette for covers is beautiful (doesn't capture in a photo). Was happy to see the first anime episode adapted the manga skillfully! Still fine for MS.

Spy x Family Volume 3

We continue here in Volume 3 with more home and school shenanigans courtesy of my new favorite trio in manga: Loid, Yor, and Anya.

Is there sometimes violence? Yes, but not gory or gratuitous. I still don't understand the 16+ rating. Still fine for MS.

Spy x Family Volume 4
So excited to meet Bond (WORF!) + Vol 4 just continued the magic of this sublime series. Spy x Family just sparkles w/ humor+cleverness. There was intense dialogue ('ever stewed human flesh in a pot?'), but used to illustrate horrors of war, not titillate. Still fine for MS IMO.
