Spy x Family vols. 7 and 8

 Spy x Family vols. 7 and 8 by Tatsuya Endo, 416 pages.

I finally got back to finish up the currently available volumes of this series and it was, as always, a delight. Volume 7 was mostly short little stories and a lot of slice-of-life chapters, which was of course fun and cute. But I think volume 8 might be one of my favorites to date. The whole volume is focused on one story as the whole family ends up on a cruise ship. Lloyd and Anya won a drawing and Lloyd has to figure out how to turn off master-spy Twilight and just have a relaxing vacation. Meanwhile, we finally learn more about Yor's assassin work and get to see her and action (and finally learn something about the organization she works for!). The plot was engaging and fun, and it feels like the series is really hitting it's stride. Unfortunately, now that I'm caught up I'm going to have to wait for new volumes to come out, and if they keep going like this that's not going to be easy!
