 The twelfth installment of Spy x Family kicks off by wrapping up the tension from the previous "bus arc," giving us a chance to explore some key character development. This first chapter does a great job of addressing the fallout, and the fleshing out of certain characters adds more depth to their arcs, making the resolution satisfying.

One notable aspect of this volume is the progress in Yor and Loid's relationship. While it's great to see more interactions between them, some of the reasons for Yor's anger toward Loid feel a bit forced. That said, given that Yor is drunk during these moments, it adds a layer of humor to the situation, so it’s not overly distracting.

The main action highlight of this volume is the "Mole Arc," which delivers some excellent high-stakes tension and solid action sequences. However, readers should be prepared for a gut-punch ending—this volume closes on a brutal cliffhanger, leaving you desperate for the next chapter. It's a thrilling ride with a harsh stop, but it only adds to the excitement of what's to come.

Overall, Spy x Family, Volume 12 balances action, humor, and character development well, though the cliffhanger is a bit cruel!
