Honestly, not much to delve into her as I reread the first volume of Spy x Family for book club.
Okay, there was a little as hindsight allows me to appreciate Twilight’s mission all the more. First, reading it you think he is like any other heroic archtype in his intense devotion to his country and a good person, not wanting others to suffer. But after reading volume 11, you understand the depths of his feelings because he has experienced the losses and violence of this war. He doesn’t want more to suffer because he knows it all to well.
Also I was surprised to see how little happens in the first volume. I mean, obviously a bunch of stuff happens in setting up the family and letting readers in on their double identities but we don’t get introduced to the plethora of characters and arcs that will take up the focus of the book. No Yuri, no Desmond, no Becky, no Bond. It took all I had not to spoil it for my friend.
Honestly, she had a much more confusing time as it was her first time reading manga and so she kept getting the left to right confused, but she enjoyed it in the end.
Next up, TBD.
