Spy x Family, Vol. 1

It's official, I love this series.
The night with Yuri and the Forgers escalates. Loid starts to wonder what's going on with Yor. Anya actually gets some chances to get ahead with becoming an elite student.

There is something so wholesome about this. Everyone constantly lies, but in contrast with that we have Anya earnestly trying her best because she knows what's going on, but doesn't understand it. Her little fantasies about how avoiding war can happen are the most adorably childish things ever.
I have no doubts about Yor and Loid ending up together, but what I appreciate more is that they are becoming a family first and foremost and while the two of them do bond, it's more than just them being into each other. They appreciate each other's effort and try to do their best.
There is action in this. There are punches thrown, explosions and guns, but it's still such a feel-good thing because the characters make it so.
I also love how they are doing all the things a proper, healthy family needs to do, but it's all framed in this “we need to do this” way. But then it still just works.

We already know the gag of the story. We do, but there are just so many layers to it, because the lies vs the truth modify the relationships between all the characters. Even if one or two things eventually get uncovered, there will be enough left to go on.

And also... they are getting a fluffy dog! I'm a sucker for animal characters and I'm so excited about a dog coming, I can't even explain. Again, they are doing things for the mission or for peace or for appearances... and they are so typical wholesome family!
