Spy X Family: Pure Delight Spoiler free Catching up to Spy X Family in a short few days was the most fun and enjoyable ramp Ive had for a while so even if its really nothing special I am here to GUSH ABOUT IT. Ill save the premise because Ill be writing this review under the conception that youve already at least read the synopsis. If you consider that a spoiler you can dip out now. First and foremost Spy X Family nails what any good sliceoflife or just... media in general needs to have making the characters and their interractions instantly likable and fun. I never imagined that a spy dad psychic kid and assasin mom dynamic would work so well. Trying to hide their powers and true identities is fun in the first place although a bit boring in the long run but the real cherry on top is the mind reading ability that the daughter of the family Anya possesses Honestly this is probably THE BEST THING about Spy X Family come to think of it.. Her inner thoughts her interractions with her parents are just the funniest shit ESPECIALLY her hilarious facial expressions. I would put an image here but turns out you have to upload the image to some site which Im too lazy to do. Also getting surprised is probably better. Speaking of the art The illustrations of Spy X Family isnt the most realistic or the most outthere but it does hit the middle ground pretty well. The artstyle is grounded in reality most of the time anyways... Wtf is wrong this Anyas design is she like an alien or something but still clearly stylized. If you give me a picture that this mangaka drew Ill probably be able to tell it apart from others. Overall the art is just very solid and I enjoyed every panel no matter how big or small. Also Yor and every other woman in this manga is so hot omg Even though I can pretty much read the characters interractions in any situation the scenarios this manga comes up with are all very interesting. The school Anya goes to for example is a great space for short 1 chapter stories as well as more long winded narratives within the character relationships. And the best part is they are all fucking 7 year olds. Im engaged in a narrative about 7 year olds. This manga is pretty good if you didnt know already. Of course no manga is without its flaws and Spy X Family definitely has a few of them. Sometimes the wAcKY twists and situations the family gets itself in are pretty contrived and some jokes didnt land for me because Im a genresavvy little bitch. But nothing really broke the experience for me because I didnt expect the best plot ever in fiction Im just here to relax and have fun and Spy X Family does just that. GO READ IT GODDAMNIT.
