Spy x Family vol. 5 and 6

 Spy x Family vol. 5 and 6 by Tatsuya Endo, 416 pages.

The stakes on these volumes zoom in a bit to the family struggles part of the series. In volume five we focus mostly on Anya desperately studying for her midterms because, due to a quirk of her telepathy, she loses her powers in the days surrounding the new moon (which is of course when the midterms fall). 

Volume six introduces us to Twilight's fellow spy, Nightfall. The two are assigned to work together on an important intelligence gathering mission at an underground tennis tournament, which is made more complicated by the fact that she's in love with him and look to steal the role of "wife" from Yor. Naturally this causes some tension.

In this volume we get more into the meat of the mission as Anya goes to school! Unfortunately, telepathy is not enough to make her grades good, and her attempts to befriend the targets arrogant son, Damien Desmond, are less than stellar. This volume is still extremely cute, and I am waiting impatiently for volume three to come in for me.

Spy x Family vol. 1

 Spy x Family vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo (translated by Casey Loe), 220 pages.

Spy Twilight is a master of disguise, but that won't help him much in his latest impossible mission. He has been tasked to infiltrate an elite elementary school to gather intel on a valuable target, which means he has less than a week to find himself a civilian wife and child and convince the board of admissions that they're a respectable family. On such a tight timeline it's no surprise that his new wife is secretly an assassin and his daughter is a telepath.

To be completely upfront this premise makes very little sense. Which doesn't matter at all because the story is very sweet and also hilarious. Loid and Yor (which are the names of our spy and assassin, respectively) know absolutely nothing about how normal people work, which is the only way that their respective covers weren't blown immediately. I'm really excited to get my hands on more of these!

Fun fact: this is also an animated show, which is very worth watching.
