    I started reading Candy and Cigarettes recently. In the very first chapter,we get to see a panty shot of the child protagonist. Shit like that makes me want to throw up. Why is this even legal? How come they get away with the sexualization of children like this?

    I'm gonna Anya said that not casually, but with so much confidence, and it was not random, she WANTED to confess him her powers, that's why she has no reaction for what she said, she's no regretting to say that. Also, she started to see Damian geniunely and without thinking the mission as much, also he was getting open to her, and she knew he has the same desire(family's love) and fear(family's neglection) as her. That's why she felt secure with Damian, and that's why this scene is so important, even if it's not brought back exactly the next chapter, this will mean a lot for the future.

    I actually don't feel Anya blurting that out was random lol When she answered without needing to read Damian's mind that 'he loves his papa' and when Damian told her her family sounds nice if you pause and look at her face she was clearly impacted I've been thinking this for a while but Anya clearly gets and relates to Damian's longing for his father and a warm family and I think in that moment she felt like 'oh he's the same as me' and just told him her secret when he asked,in a 'if I understood him maybe he could understand me' kinda manner Also it seems in character for Anya to blurt out the unexpected just like that lol

    I feel like people are too hopeful about chapters leading to something big. I feel like although spy x family is very fun to read, it's honestly very repetitive and there's always a short mission in every chapter instead of something that actually develops the plot in depth. I really do hope that at some point, there will be more plot development and twists that makes the story more exciting and suspenseful, instead of random chapters, where the readers know that the good guys always win. Nonetheless, it's still a very nice manga to read :)

    The body horror will soon be winding down and the focus will be more on Yoko and Erica. The baron Muster arc was necessary to show what influenced Erica during her formative years. Some more good news about Mars Chronicle, the unfortunate hiatus due to administrative problems has ended and new chapters are published again. at this rate we'll have enough material for a new volume in 2 weeks. It looks like Mars Chronicle 10 will be released in Japan in April, so add about 6 months extra for the rest of the world.

    I mean I don't mind the over the top elements but the tone switching between that and the more serious elements isn't working that well imo. Honestly still feel like making it an element of Erika's "delusions" would work better.

    IF they ever animate this chapter, maybe they'll expand the mystery spoof part, showing Anya, "Loid", and Yor stumbling around as "Loid", Anya, and Bond try to resolve the case. (Have "Loid" constantly get distracted by Anya, who already knows who but has no evidence - nor cares to want to find any, and have Bond try to get them both back on track with things. Also, have both Bond and "Loid" kinda rescue Anya after she gets caught trying to catch the prep.)

IMO, this is probably some kind of a microprinted document, like the one which Loid received inside a coin in the supermarket in the chapter 2.

    Endo confirmed today this is part of the main story. Also, the English translation also omitted this last line from the original Japanese version: "己が名にふと心よぎる" - Anya's heart stirred at the mention of her own name. So it really doesn't seem like her reaction is related to an unnecessary spelling change Ost'ania'

    Zazie personally witnessed "Alita" attacking the queen, so I can forgive her not trusting Alita. Sure, she could have figured that something was wrong and it wasn't Alita, but she's a soldier so she's not the brightest, and she doesn't know Alita THAT well. The ZOTT only lasted a couple of days, after all.
