Finishing up my last book of 2024 by returning to Spy x Family. In this volume we see a more serious plot in diving into Loid Forgers background. The book opens to show Loid as a child playing soldiers with friends just as the war between east and west begins and how Loid lost both of his parents in the war and ultimately joins the army. We also get to see Loid join the spy agency he works for and how he was recruited and how Loid met Frankie for the first time. After that section of Loids origin was shown, we then return to regularly scheduled chaos of present day with Anya and Yor and their strange little family.

Ah, Sad backstory unlocked!

Poor Loyd, like we all knew he had an awful childhood, and we knew from the cover that we were getting into some history, but I don't know if I was expecting my comedy to go that explicit with it.

I adored it though. I do appreciate the care given here to show the effects of war and how it shapes people though.

Child abuse is a 1-pannel slap, child and parent deaths are implied and happens off screen after a military action.
