the art's great as well, w/ rly good paneling and composition (most of the time) that complement the action and maximize impact on the reader. the book's seemingly effortless blend of comedy, action and emotional moments are a rare find tbh, and im so happy for its success!

The classism is in a super over the top mocking way so it feels kinda silly putting a content warning for it…drtx_bwt's review against another edition

Spy x Family is a found family story about (you guessed it) a spy family. We follow the main character, a spy who goes by the moniker Twilight, as he finishes up one assignment and gets a new one. A more long-term assignment where he has to pose as a posh family to get close to his target. To do this, he has to take on a wife and a child, both things that he swore he would never do.
I don't want to go to far into detail and spoil it because the best parts of this manga are in the details. His new wife and child bring so much warmth and humor to the story, and there is so much more to them than I can say here without spoiling the plot.
I'm really not really much of a manga reader. I used to be when I was in middle/high school, but it's been many many years since I've picked up a manga and now I'm regretting it hard. This was absolutely fantastic. And it was great for this time of year because post-holiday depression hits me hard sometimes. This series was a nice little pick-me-up that reminded me not to take everything so seriously.

In terms of content warnings, there is a ton of violence depicted in the images. Obviously the main character is a spy and his job is fighting the bad guys, so there are a lot of guns and blood. However, this is very much a humorous take on an action/adventure spy story and much of it is exaggerated to get that effect. One of the main characters continually faces bigotry and bullying from some minor characters in the series. This is explicitly shown on page, but the bullies are depicted as the bad guys. The main character talks about his experiences with abandonment and there is another character in the book that has a history of abandonment. Explicitly, these are talked about briefly, however, there are a few instances where it's brought up in a more subtle way because it adds context to a character's thoughts or actions. All that to say, at least in this first book, abandonment is a common theme that more than one character has to come to terms with and learn to cope with.quinn_07's review against another edition
