the real beauty is that most any kid who brought those scores home would be sweating regardless. sometimes you don't need to be a psychic to know what your parent is thinking

i mean age aside, spending your early childhood being neglected and used as a human experiment in equal turns doesn't exactly set you up for success in a high pressure school environment

He had a few serialized manga before, too. Tista ran for two volumes in Jump SQ.

He and Shihei Lin, his editor, go way back. They went to New York together to research Tista, they developed the concept for Spy X Family together, and he even assigned Endo to work as an assistant for an up-and-coming kid he had doing a series in Jump+.

That series was Fire Punch.

Basically, Shihei Lin is one of the all time great editors, and if he believes in a writer, he's going to do what it takes to let them succeed, no matter if that's "I think we should go lighter and more family friendly this time. You know, change it up." or "I see no reason your color pages shouldn't be an uncensored lesbian orgy. Go for it."

the idea that spy x family share a direct through line to fire punch is a little disturbing

i found it to be a highly compelling read, but also intensely unpleasant, and i would prefer if it remained segregated from every other aspect of my life

yeah, chainsaw man one spot behind dr. stone is just heartbreaking

good to see spy x family getting some well deserved love though. i'd definitely put it in my personal top 3 for the year

i just bought the first couple of volumes, and while re-reading the first chapters i just absolutely lost it during their first outing as a family. at one point Yor jumps off the rooftop all three of them are on, and runs down the façade of the building like a ninja, and Loid just goes "boy she's impulsive. well, guess we should go after her" and starts heading down some stairs with anya

his baseline for normal is just incredibly broken

I think he'd set up a bomb in the phone booth next to the enemy soldier

yeah, i think he rigged something without a proper detonator and was using the wires to complete a circuit to trigger whatever booby trap he had in the phone booth

i might be misremembering, because it's been a while since i read the beginning of the series, but doesn't she flashback to a researcher telling her not to reveal her powers? that always suggested to me that if she did escape it wasn't entirely on her own since that isn't something someone who was expecting her to remain in a lab would say

was it ever explained why that one g man seemed kind of intent on getting such high ranking hostages killed? i couldn't tell if it was ideological opposition to giving terrorist any leeway or if he had an ulterior motive. maybe it'll be covered in the chapter where they execute all the terrorist gangland style

Anya's dress is very nice, but I can't imagine putting a "six"-year-old in an off-the-shoulder number without bits sliding off/wonky/sideways after ten minutes.

i know adults that would have that go wonky after less than ten minutes
