In Volume 4 of Spy x Family, Anya steals the scene once more as she is promised a dog as a reward for achieving her first Stella Star at school. A day of shopping for a new addition is thrown into chaos when Twilight is called away as he was informed about an assassination plot against Minister Barintz.
What I like about this volume is that you can see all the family members playing their parts to save the day without each other's knowing. It was full of action and espionage as compared to the previous volumes. The ending where everyone gets to reassure themselves that they are being a good spy/wife/mother/daughter for being able to catch the terrorist was precious. I am sitting on edge now as I can't wait for the truth to be revealed, and I can't imagine how powerful it will be ever then if the Forgers Family banded together.
We also finally have a new additional family member, in a form of big white fluffy fur who can foresee the future. I thought the scheme to have a dog would be of little importance and only serve as a filler to the volume but was surprised to see that we will be promised something more!
All in all, the series remains my favorite though I find this volume a bit lacking (which I'm not sure where and why). Anyhow, I can't wait to watch how the Forger family grows and gets involved in more tumultuous adventures now that Bond has joined them!
I present you Bond Forger, the fourth member of Forger, a dog with precognitive abilities.
I called this book chaotic in previous review. This is getting beyond chaotic now and I am not complaining.
But if the mangaka Mr. Endo killed anybody by the end I am starting a revolt, because their missions are scaring and these people are a bunch of chaotic mess.
Ahhh I had sm fun with this!! 😍😍 Although I enjoyed Volume 3, it didn't stand out to me- but this one was such a great time and is definitely a new fav in the series!! 💜💜
This volume had a completely new plotline introduced, which I really liked, as it made it sm more interesting! 🤩🤩 There were loads of action going on, which was super entertaining 😁 We also got to see Loid and Yor do their thing, which was awesome- power (fake 😂) couple 👑👑
AND we got a new addition to the Forger family!! I'm definitely a dog person so this was perfect for me. And their dog was soo cute! 🥺🥺 I love him already 💗
Overall, such a great volume! 🤩🤩 My excitement for this series has been reignited and I'm soo excited to get to Volume 5 in the future. Having an awesome time with this series!! 💜💜
~ 4 stars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was sm fun!! 🤩🤩 I'm loving this series so far and this is definitely one of my fav volumes 💜💜
I read this at work and people kept asking me what was making me smile and laugh so much. The quote "That must be a good book" came out of several people's mouths. And they aren't wrong.
I adore this series and am so excited that I'm not caught up yet and have more volumes to consume.
I swear these comics get better and better with each volume.
I loved the newest addition to the Forger family. I loved how Anya was much more involved in this mission. I loved how action-packed this volume was. I love how Yor is very protective of Anya. I basically loved everything that happened in vol. 4!
Although, Loid needs to go on a vacation or something, that man is exhausted.
I remember reading the arc collected here serially and wasn't originally too impressed. Now, it has aged like fine wine collected in volume four.
The entirety of the storyline adding Bond the family dog is collected in this volume. Not only has our family grown, but each of them had their moment to shine as they managed to avert the renewal of hostilities between fake West Germany and faux East Germany. This is the kind of storytelling I have come to expect from this series that I've grown to enjoy so much.
I started watching the Spy x Family anime on Friday after testing positive for COVID. I wasn't feeling that well, and I wanted to watch something fun and new — but I never expected to love the story and the characters as much as I did!
I literally bingewatched the entire anime, which is not something I usually do. I was just hooked, and after I finished the last episode I immediately started reading the manga. I started with this volume because this is where the story picks up from the anime 😄
I can't wait to read all the other volumes!! I'm sure I'm gonna love them as well hehe
No me extraña que este manga esté arrasando en Japón y ganando un montón de premios. Sin duda, se lo merece.
El dibujo es muy bueno y la historia es total, absurdamente ridícula e hilarante, repleta de escenas de acción, no exentas de violencia, pero al mismo tiempo de escenas costumbristas sobre una familia postiza y disfuncional pero que en el fondo se quiere.
Y qué decir de los personajes, Anya me mata de la risa con sus expresiones faciales y su empeño por conseguir la Paz mundial.
La trama de espionaje de este volumen me ha encantado, Anya está inconmensurable y ese perro es lo más.
This volume was so fun and full of action with an additional family member. I loved watching everyone playing their part to save the day without the other members knowing anything. This volume is where things started getting more interesting.
i’m eating this series up. this one was so fun, they’re adding a new member to the family and he has an ability very similar to Anya’s and i am just obsessed with where this series is going. and Yor’s weird brother wasn’t in much of this one so it gets a full 5 stars :) but i love this series i’m having so much fun with it.
En este tomo podemos ver más a fondo la preocupación de Loid y Yor como padres hacia Anya, aparte de que Anya ya se mete en situaciones más serias y conocemos a un nuevo personaje, Bond, el perro de la familia Forger.
La verdad es que cada volumen mejora más y si bien nunca pierde el toque cómico, tiene muchas cosas muy realistas
This was super fun and very chaotic! We are introduced to a new character, a dog who has super-powers just like Anya. And as always, the family dynamics are so sweet and wholesome. Highly recommend this manga series.

Before you go running to doesthedogdie.com, let me reassure those of you who were as traumatized by Where the Red Fern Grows as I was - no dogs are harmed in this volume of Spy x Family. In fact, the addition of Bond the dog drastically increases the caper level of the book with his amazing doggy powers, which not only are able to rescue children and see the future, but also increase Anya's own adorableness factor a hundredfold.
The whole volume follows the same basic storyline - a group of disaffected (and probably too cool for you) college students thinks that it would really cool to reignite tensions between east and west, and to that end plan to use dogs put on the black market after a government experiment was shut down to bomb politicians into oblivion. Twilight hears about this through work channels and heads off to take the world's longest poop (excuses are not his strong suit) while Yor and Anya stumble onto the plot while looking to adopt a dog. The dog who will become Bond bumps into Anya, who reads his mind, and the two take off to put an end to a plot that might very well kill Loid, while Yor hares off after Anya, convinced she's been kidnapped by pedophiles. The result is one of the best spy caper stories in the series thus far, with everyone coming out thinking they've saved the day.
For my money? Anya saved the day, because ultimately she's the one who saved the dog. What can I say? I like a happy ending.
