Spy X Family, vol. 5

Today’s post is on Spy X Family, vol. 5 by Tatsuya Endo. It is 208 pages long and is published by Viz Media. The cover has Yuri with flowers on it. As it is the fifth in the series, you need to have read the first four volumes to understand what is going on. The intended reader is someone who likes spies and comedy manga. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Anya Forger has been trying her best to befriend Damian Desmond, the son of the powerful Ostanian political leader Donovan Desmond, but her attempts have been constantly rebuffed. Despite the setbacks, Anya is determined to gain access to the Desmonds’ inner circle and even devises a new plan—acing her midterm exams to earn stella stars! Can the academically challenged Anya pull off this feat for the sake of world peace?

Review- Lots of different stories in this volume from meeting a spy for hire who is very bad at his job to meeting Nightfall, another agent who works with Loid and is in love with him. Our core four are great with Yor trying to learn to cook and still making people ill to Anya trying and failing to become friends with Damian. There is not much movement of the plot, this volume is more about character development and introducing new characters. We get to see some of Damian’s private life and see what pressure he is living under. Anya is still the best and I think that she is starting to work on Damian. Next volume I think is going to be more spy centric and I am looking forward to it. 

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
