That little moment is so powerful and seems like a real turning point: he can finally step back and think "...what am I doing" and realize that Anya has not only succeeded in a way he didn't appreciate, but is her own person with her own life. I think it really resonated with his own memories of his background.

I get the feeling that we're heading toward endgame (too soon! too soon!), but I hope that we can at least get a few good chapters where Loid is starting to think of a long-term future for all of them, and it's actually Anya who has to keep his mind on track to keep doing the Cool Spy Stuff.

With how much stuff has been revealed over the course of the series, I feel like an "Endgame" would be WAAAAAY too abrupt.

loid and yor could very easily realize how much they care about anya, but they aren't anywhere close to that point for each other.

gotta say i did not see that coming in the fashion it did

loved getting to see the rest of the academy gang tho

e: and yeah i don't think this is endgame, i think we're just learning more about the newish (major?) character who is directly connected to both damian and yor

This. We need Loid and Yor to FINALLY realize what each other are, and causes them to fall head over heels for each other and finally kiss, causes Loid to have a eureka moment and take his family to solve Operation Strix once and for all, then he retires with his assassin mommy and mind-reading daughter and rides off into the sunset.

I think more than anything, I want to see what Yor and Loid's relationship looks like once they're aware of each other's secrets. I understand why its narratively more logical to end the story with them learning the truth and still choosing to stay with each other, but I want several dozen chapters about them figuring out how to make this work once all the cards are on the table.

I’ve got a theory that the status quo will invert itself at some point. Like, the Forgers discover each other’s secrets and now instead of lying to his family about his job, Loid needs to lie to his job about his family.

As much as it would be good for Loid to kiss his wife, we're just not quite there yet.

Yeah, if anything this is straight-up a prerequisite to any romance, since having a romance with the current level of (mutual) deception is kind of ethically dubious. It's liking dating someone while lying to them about most important aspects of your personal life.

i'd probably go with the anime-- it's a good adaptation and you'll definitely be able to figure out if you want to continue with the manga

but neither is a bad choice

Yeah, to the best of my knowledge, the anime is a solid enough adaptation that you lose nothing by starting off your Spy x Family experience with it.

I'd say start with the manga myself, but I read fast and I also like taking the time to drink in any extra details after I've got the general story gist, so that might just be me.

I think it would probably be better for them to kiss after they stop lying to each other about the most important parts of their lives, rather than before

Jesus H Christ! How many hours of the last 72 have you binged on this anime? S1 alone is 25 episodes, then there's 12 more after! Glad you had fun, at least.

P.S: there's a movie, too, but it's an original story not originating from the manga.

Most of my time not working, and also some of my time working. I was doing tedious busywork so I could mostly watch anime with pausing when I had to use my brain.

I will check out the movie thank you!

I didn't notice this on first reading, but Melinda Desmond does not actually eat anything at the family dinner. She is only shown drinking wine in all of her panels. And when she leaves the table, her plate is full of food and is completely untouched.
