➽ Another fantastic volume, I missed Spy x Family so much! It starts off hilarious as Loid is struggling with his boss at work, who doesn't like him despite all his best efforts. In order to keep up his cover, Loid has worked on establishing good contact with his colleagues, but his boss hates that he has become too popular. Like the true mastermind he is, Loid ends up bringing him around in the end, with the help of Fiona and Franky (in disguise). I still don't like Fiona's obsession with Loid (I wish she had more to her character than that) but I love it when she has to team up with Franky, as those two couldn't be more different 😂

➽ Things quickly get serious when Anya's school bus gets abducted by a terrorism cell called the Red Circus. Everyone is terrified as they're now hostages as the leader of the cell is trying to negotiate with the government. Anya can of course read their abductors' minds, so she tries to find a way to get them to safety. On the outside, everyone is getting involved to rescue the class, including Loid's boss Sylvia and the Secret Police. Yuri isn't too thrilled to be rescuing Anya, but knows how much her loss would devastate Yor, so he's not to be stopped. Despite the serious situation, there are quite a few comedic moments, as everyone thinks Anya has nerves of steel when it's just her telepathy powers that let her know more. Anya also still plans to befriend Damian, so this is almost a bonding situation for them, as she knows how terrified he is. Because Yor is getting closer to Damian's mother, Anya is desperate to win the 'friendship war' and befriend Damian first, so the mission can advance 😂

➽ The ending was quite sweet as Anya's demeanor cracks when Yor embraces her 😢 Despite being able to read the kidnapper's minds, she's still a young girl who was in a high stakes situation. It was also was to hear Damian say that he's not that close to his parents, so anyone using him to get into their good graces is trying to use him in vain. In the end, his mother does show up and since Anya's here we see how obsessed she is with Damian. It would be sweet, except there is something sinister to her thoughts and I can't wait to see more 👀

Honestly, that entire scene on the bus made this entire volume worth it. Anya is on form while they're on the bus and there are so many great moments. There's something brewing there at the end, too! Excited to see where it goes.

Children are in danger and physically threatened throughout most of the volume. Also, Yuri is still weird about his sister.
