The wacky shenanigans with the history/threat but not the reality of violence, more absurd parody of it, continues.
The highlight for me this volume were the chapters focusing on the sweetest father-in-law ever.
The dessert competition with social media engagement stakes is runner up.
I'm noticing some traditional gender norm judgements on display, but its limited to antagonists spouting such nonsense, and unorthodox-ly contested by our 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 unsettling hero.
Though for as many women as there are appreciating Tatsu's accomplishments in the domestic sphere, I do wish more males than Masa were also willing to follow in his footsteps.
Perhaps too lofty a goal for such a comic series, still glad for the simple reversal of older standards, having Miku be the career woman, in the breadwinning role.
On to the next volume!

Such an adorable screwball time! An even more appealing mix of endearing effort on the part of a male family figure with an ultra-violent past that somehow winds up in slapstick situations with uncanny facial expressions than Spy x Family. [If there are any more manga in this vein, please tell me! ]
I will definitely be continuing in the series.

Robotswithpersonality Highlights:
The switch to tiny pupil murderous stare
The attempt to look non-threatening somehow seeming like assassin crossed with sulky model.
The entire Roomba incident

This one was okay, not as good as Vol. 10. Less kitties and more adults, blah. The pianist goes to visit his father-in-law and thinks a lot about how he met his wife when he was a kid. Hopefully more kitties in the next volume!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow. Volume 11 of Spy x Family was INTENSE and I loved every single minute of it! I‘m not sure how the next volumes will be able to compete with this one 😬

I was across the country visiting family for a few days and when I returned I was exhausted but wanted to start on #14books14weeks so I picked this one off of my stack. I have never read manga before and heard such great things about this title. It was definitely cute but I won‘t be reading the rest of the series. Light pick.

Jas16 @bette My copy is a little battered but I would be happy to send it to you if you would like. 2w
Bette You are so kind. Thank you for the offer but a friend gifted it to me. I completely agreed with your review: it was fine, but I won‘t be continuing the series. Thanks again. 😊 2w

I'm so happy to be reading the next in the series. This time Kanda and his friend rescue a cat from a dilapidated building. However, Fukumaru is not liking the new cat and they are fighting each other. Will the cats get along? Love the graphics and the story. Looking forward to reading the next one.

On the fence on this one. I honestly value the creativity and the world building, but on that last note, I feel something is missing. It's like a series of disconnected events. I'll read the other books in the series to see if they satisfy me more.

Talking about satisfaction... I'll enjoy a nice cup of green tea, with a delicious tart... Miam !

I love how in the opener, Anya has low key been helping them out so much without saying anything or giving anything away so I'm wondering if at any point the adults will figure it out.

Yor is amazing and the fact that we see her in action, continuing from last volume, is fantastic as she gets her continued moment to showcase her skills, when most of the volumes have all been Twilight.
