>>280762028
I might be misremembering, but I think this is the first time Loid has asked Yor her opinion on dinner. I guess it was something of a plot point that she has very few preferences.

>>280762373
Loid is still fixated on plan b. The whole alien thing probably freaked him out.

TOTAL YOR IMPREGNATION

>>280762772
What makes you say that? Plan C still seems to be his main one right now with Plan B kept active in case it bears fruit. Even Plan A showed up in his thoughts, for all he talks about it anymore. I guess nothing is off the table. Some things just aren't being actively pursued.
Though nothing is being actively pursued right now. He said everything is on hold until he figures out what's going on with Yor.

>>280761533 (OP)
Calling it now: Loid will unknowingly encounter Garden while he is investigating Yor. He will leave and not know how close he was to being killed.

>>280763073
For fuck sake, Damian ... Those two of his friends need to get sick for a week so he starts acting normal.

>>280763073

Death flag?

I think we'll have 2 or 3 arcs where overall Yor will act normal but there will be some particular moments that will make her act flustered with Loid. It will be a new but somewhat "short" ( 3 arcs is a long time) gimmick that will end with a confession.
So a few more arcs, hang in there bros.

>>280763457
my heart just fluttered a bit

>>280763232
I think it depends on if this thing with Loid turns into an arc or if it's something that will be solved in one chapter. I'd prefer the former, and I'm okay with a month and a half of school and secondary character chapters to give Axeman time to plan it.

>>280763321
I would love this. I still think she's a kid, but I'd love to see her show up at Eden as a student or some kind of apprentice.

Look at this artwork for the new collab they're doing.
Spy boy never looks quite right. He also looks like he's trying to burn a whole through his wife with that stare.

>>280763453
I wonder if Axeman's finally retiring her sperg out gag. Not completely, since Loid is going to finally make an effort to get to know Yor like he should've been doing all along, but maybe now that she understands that she wants the romantic attention she'll act more like she's happy than upset.

Am I correct in assuming you’re a Chloebro?

>>280763453
I could see this, but I feel like Loid will need to make some progress during that time. From the sounds of it, the main reason Yor is keeping it quiet is because she doesn't think Loid sees her like that at all.
She's gaining confidence, but it still seems wildly out of character for her to confess when she perceives it as completely unrequited. Maybe Anya could help.

In the past 30 or so chapters, Axeman has introduced:
>more spies
>more Assassins
>more students
>more SSS members
All we need now is another test subject child like Anya

>>280763763
If Yor keeps assaulting Loid for displays of affection it would harm the overall development of the relationship at this point, a couple times earlier on in the story to maintain status quo is fine I got my chuckles, but at this junction having Yor take a larger part of the story and have a more active role in the fake marriage beyond being in the kitchen or playing with Anya would be nice. I don't know have her help with the taxes or something. Axeman please don't make the confession arc the last or second to last arc...

I think Anya has figured out how much Yor cares about Loid, to the point where Yor literally wants to be her real mom, and the fact that Twilight has been lying about everything this entire time. She's worried about the fabric of lies being held together and what will eventually happen to her (back to orphanage, etc).

>>280761843

I wonder if Yuri and Hemlock will become best friends.

Surely a new coworker in Yor's workplace will be something they investigate even if only in passing?

Daily reminder that Twilight pleases old women for intel

>>280764824
Watch out Mr Authen

Something that may be of note is that every single person at WISE so far doesn't acknowledge her as Yor Forger. She is always Yor Briar.
You can see it in today's chapter with Sylvia or back when Fiona is grilling Twilight about Melinda and continues to emphasis the Briar part of her name.

However Twilight either calls her his wife or just Yor(-san). It's never Yor Briar.
You can go back during the mole arc car ride home an see him using the word wife, which is accurate to the JP script where he uses the word Tsuma (妻). And in today's chapter he once again uses just Yor in front of WISE coworkers.
I wonder if he even notices.

I think Yor is cute

>>280763132
He had all of Language class without them egging him on and he still fucked up. Kid is done for. Even Freddy has a better chance than him at this point.

>>280765205
>I wonder if he even notices.

Fiona certainly notices, as she stated when she tried to question Twilight not killing Yuri and he referred to Yor by just her name.

>>280763183
Well, she doesn't see him with a snotty nose and bug eyes anymore. I'd say it's an improvement.

>>280761533 (OP)
The most shocking thing about that image is seeing Anya in her earlier artstyle

>>280761533 (OP)
cant wait for another 100 chapters of blueballing

>>280765205
The older spy refers to her at "your missus" in JP. He also teases him about Anya being his daughter too, so it seems like he's not as stringent about drawing the line with the civilians Twilight has to live with.

>>280763240
Double date between them and YorLoid when?

>>280764500
This is the same reason why Yuri could never work with Fiona, anyone who hates Yor is on his shit list.

>I might have a crush on my husband, please don’t tell him

>>280762028

>>280765205
I'm less interested in if Loid notices than if Sylvia does. She must, right? But at the same time, most people at WISE seem dismissive of Yor. Not in the sense that they don't like her. (Besides Fiona.) They're just detached. She's a random civilian. That's the end of it.
That...kind of bugs me. If Loid were detached himself, I wouldn't think anything of it, but he's clearly not. He's zoning out in meetings thinking about her. That should bother Sylvia, but it doesn't. She just tells him to pull himself together and shrugs off the rest.
Twilight, the most sought after agent in all of Ostania, is compromised for the first time ever and WISE is not only turning a blind eye to it, but they're just trusting that he didn't accidentally marry an enemy operative that is honeytrapping him.

>>280763240
>want to get married and have babies? I'm ovulating right now
>NO WAY FAG

How have they not become an actual family by now?
I thought the whole fake family thing would only last a few arcs before they eventually dropped the act and actually started to openly love each other, shit is weird at this point that they keep going back to the status quo of the beginning of the story.

Them becoming a real family is the main plot so the inching towards it can't complete until the end of the story.

>>280767382
>Twilight, the most sought after agent in all of Ostania, is compromised for the first time ever and WISE is not only turning a blind eye to it, but they're just trusting that he didn't accidentally marry an enemy operative that is honeytrapping him.

Recall that Twilight was given this near impossible mission (secure a child and wife in like a week) because his fellow agents simply have THAT much confidence in him. Sylvia may be less starstruck, but she still is not inclined to think he is compromised.

>>280767382
>they're just trusting that he didn't accidentally marry an enemy operative that is honeytrapping him
That would be interesting but WISE has proven time and again that they're incompetent. Even Nightfall's hatred of Yor comes from a place of not being the one Twilight is falling for rather than Yor being a threat for being capable of messing him up that badly.
Garden is leagues ahead of them as an organization on that front.

>>280767580
Because it's only been 6 months canonically and Axeman is afraid of writing family adventure chapters. Despite the fact that the most popular chapter in the entire manga is apparently chapter 103 based solely on the comments it continues to receive, he still refuses to bring them all together and do something.

>>280761533 (OP)
>men are so desperate they will take an actually slightly cute murderous woman over a real normal hardworking one

>How have they not become an actual family by now?

Twilight is a lot more closed off emotionally than a lot of fans give him credit for. The big bonding moments and times of affection we pay so much attention to? The author has stated those are equivalent to 1 door out of 100 opening in his heart.

>>280767711
>Axeman is afraid of writing family adventure chapters.

I'd say it is more accurate his inspiration has pointed him elsewhere for a while. The whole flashback arc with Henderson happened because he felt really interested in it and added more and more.

>>280767604
Shortened: Yex

We're long overdue on Sylvia actually meeting the other adult responsible for Strix. Or at the very least some sort of observation.
She's supposed to be hands-off on Strix and trust Twilight, but I think this is TOO hands-off. Especially with his recent performance.

>>280763950
Chloe got something more substantial over time too, Axeman's just clearing the way to pair off Millie with someone after people started imagining her with Franky.

>>280767872

>>280764415

>>280767908
Axeman's has only ever let Sylvia talk about or interact with Anya, like the cruise arc or the chapter with Aaron. I think he could've had her say something by now but this is the first time she's directly addressed Yor.

>>280767580
They are another actual family, they just haven't realized yet because they're all dumb.

There used to be a time where Yor was the worst thing about this manga now people can't get enough of her, I hate it

>>280768198
Yor has never been the worst thing about this manga and she was always beloved.

there is no way that Sylvia doesn't ship Yor X Loid

>>280767752
He won't open his heart till the very end. However his body will start signs of whatever turmoil his inner self (or real self) is going through, as we've already seen.

>>280768223
Maybe she would if she actually saw what Yor is doing to him. Just have her see what Nightfall is being forced to watch happening. He'd probably get the talk reminder before she is able to be happy for him though.

>>280763267
Oh god no

>>280768289
OH GOD YES

>>280767971
I'm suddenly noticing that there's a striking resemblance between the WISE rookie and the Garden doorman. Hair is just a little different. It's 100% just a case of similar character design, but this would be a wild twist were Axeman to capitalize on it later.

>>280763267
short mission most likely

>>280768198
That has never been the case and you're just mad that her popularity and screentime are finally matching up for once. >>280767711

>>280768450
The WISE rookie has always looked a little younger than the Garden doorman, and the chapter that has most of his lines made it clear that he's too easily influenced to be dedicated to Garden's ideology.

I unironically loved Code White and hope they do another comfy movie.

Someone pointed out that when Yor visualized Loid in her mind, he wasn’t wearing his spy mask or his Forger mask, he has a face of unguarded adoration.

>>280761533 (OP)
I definitely think Wise vs Garden arc is coming very soon. As another Anon said so, I think Yor will ask about Loid's former wife and Anya's mother. Anya will probably get confused and get sad about thinking of her real mother. Yor will think about what will make her a good wife for Loid, the man who is perfect at everything.

>>280768633
It's always been clear that Yor loved the man underneath his aliases the whole time.

>>280768491
Considering that the McMahon short mission was a legitimate part of the arc and seems to have been planned since the beginning, this is only the second arc in the manga that Axeman has gotten through without breaks. He worked really hard. And has probably been plotting this out for ages.

>>280768752
I'm cautious to say "very soon". He's put down a few more pieces by introducing more Garden members, but there's also the subplots with Melinda and her family as well as the questions surrounding Anya's origins. I think he might feel like Yor confessing to Anya is a good spot to leave off on so that he can go back to the other stories he's got hanging around.

>>280767947
Just make him tie it up in the office.

>>280761533 (OP)
Loid's "for the mission" shell has to crack first before there can be any more real development between these two.
I doubt Yor will make any moves by herself without Loid actually showing her some hints of affection first.

The drama and chaos with their true identities being revealed will come after they both acknowledge that they’re in love with each other.

>>280769141
>The drama and chaos with their true identities being revealed will come after they both acknowledge that they’re in love with each other.
I would hope so. The reveal only carries weight if they both actually love each other beyond their original contract.

>>280764332
Looking at the unofficial comments on the BBS sites, they're moving fast as well. A lot of comments are wondering what will happen next now that Yor has told Anya her feelings and like the affectionate way she speaks about Loid leading up to her realization.

>>280763073
>anya already got rid of her lackeys
No, not Freddy...

>>280768593
I also really liked Code White, but I hope that next time they do something more unique instead of retreading old ground for some of the movie.

The scene where they work together to move the wheel and end up laughing about it, and the ending scene where they walk hand in hand into the sunset are all I want from this series. The movie gave us what Axeman refuses to draw.

These two scenes here

The scene of yor putting on lipstick lives in my head. Not even in a lewd way I just think it's cute

>>280768752
>>280768941
I think he's put most of major chess pieces down, but they're still across the board from each other. I wonder what it is that's going to trigger Loid to start looking into Garden, though. The most natural segue imo would be Garden taking out a WISE agent, though Franky thinking they might be watching him could also do it.
>he can go back to the other stories he's got hanging around.
Reminder that pic related is still hanging even though we've been back to Shopkeeper already.

>>280770068
>I wonder what it is that's going to trigger Loid to start looking into Garden, though
I bet it'll happen unintentionally. At the moment Loid has decided to get to know Yor better, and conveniently Hemlock will now be around more oten.
Either he ends up looking into who Hemlock is because he's new and get more than he bargained for, or while looking into Yor he gets spotted by Hemlock because he doesn't have his head in the clouds like Yor does.

>>280764237
I wonder if Anya will try to ship them hard

Gonna call it now, Loid is going to figure out that she's an assassin (not necessarily part of Garden), but while he's trying to think of a plan to break things off with her as she's now a risk to the mission, she'll give him a welcome home kiss and he'll instantly switch to keeping her (as an asset for the mission) and seducing her further (for the mission)

>>280770068
I wonder if that kingdom/nation that the Shopkeeper is trying to protect is related to Anya's hometown. Maybe Anya is royalty or something but it was overthrown or occupied by a warring nation.

>>280766223
Yeah, the older guy always teases him about his family

>>280770103
There's never been a wall Yor couldn't break down.

>>280770172
>At the moment Loid has decided to get to know Yor better
Speaking of, I don't think Axeman would do this, or at the very least not so soon. But if he started putting out chapters that focus on an oblivious Twilight trying to get to know his fake wife better (for the mission) while she's mentally losing it on her side it'd probably make all those yumejos very happy. The general fanbase too I guess.

In fact it seems like an easy "break glass in case of emergency" chapter idea.

>>280770260
I think Loid or WISE will get close to discovering Garden but won't know that Yor belongs to them. Then Yor will receive a mission to kill spies or something to stop them from finding out. So both WISE and Garden are out on their missions at the same time. But Yor decides not to kill them because she realizes they are not evil. The WISE agents just leave empty-handed.

Does this book even have a plot anymore?

>>280770494
The current plot is Redacted putting a baby inside Yor.

>>280770260
>for the mission (plap) for the mission (plap) for the mission (plap) for the mission (plap)

>>280770260
I feel that it's going to be part-copout, part-okayish like Twilight finding out that Hemlock (because of Yor's coworkers' statement of him giving something to Yor during their date) is part of a third party (Franky will say something that muddles the connection towards Garden) that doesn't want war to happen in Ostania, basically the opposite of that nation where the Red Circus fled to. Throw in Yuri rushing to the Forger Home to tell Yor about him having to go abroad for another diplomatic work and to demand a reaffirmation from Loiloi about his declaration to protect Yor from spears, meteorites, etc.

How does this always happen?

Personally I still don't trust Shopkeeper at all. Like even if Garden and WISE had a similar goal or motives he would not hesitate to exterminate them first chance he got. He seems to hate the west too much thanks to his loyalty to the dead empire.
It has made speculation about Garden and WISE teaming up very hard to accept for me. If anything he's going to be the one that tries to kidnap Anya since she's probably related to the royal line.

>>280770655
>He seems to hate the west too much thanks to his loyalty to the dead empire.

When was it implied the west and the old empire have anything to do with each other, let alone that Shopkeeper hates them? If that were the case Garden would be targeting people sympathetic toward Westalis, advocates for closer relations, etc. but they don't.

>>280770704
It's the line about the poachers dealing with the west that gives off that impression. The SSS obviously wouldn't like it, but Garden and the SSS have different ideals so why would he mention it unless he also saw it as a problem?
The targets aren't just poachers, but they are poachers that also deal with the west.

>>280770327
Shopkeeper raised Yor so she probably knows a lot about the dead empire herself. Anya can't tell Yor she's related to it (if she is) without outing Loid, but maybe if she catches an errant thought and wants to know more, she could fake a homework assignment or something. If Anya has memories and Yor has historical knowledge, we could get a huge lore dump out of just the two of them.

>>280770704
Not him, but Shopkeeper has expressed negative sentiment towards the west both directly and indirectly.
>If that were the case Garden would be targeting people sympathetic toward Westalis, advocates for closer relations, etc. but they don't.
This feels like a strawman. Anon said Garden would exterminate WISE, a foreign intelligence agency working in their land. There's a big difference between that and civilians that just like Westalis.

>>280770655
Where do people get the idea that Anya is royalty or whatever? I never knew of it until I started browsing /a/ and now I’m confused as hell.

>>280770821
>>280770953
None of this points to a connection to the dead empire, and I'm pretty sure he'd be against people working with these organized crime poachers regardless of which nation they are from.

Further, even if he assume he would target foreign intelligence agencies, that doesn't equal a hatred for the country they come from, or any connection to the old empire.

>>280771018
I think a combination of her mysterious past and her familiarity with an "ancient language" that no countries use anymore. The only ancient people the series has talked about so far is the empire that became modern Ostania, so people start speculating Anya could have a connection to this.

>>280771018
It's a crack theory based off the
Romanovs, I think. I don't subscribe to it myself, but I do think Anya is related to the dead empire in some way.

>>280771051
I don't understand what you mean.
As far as we know Shopkeeper is explicitly aligned with the dead empire, and he has shown hostility to those working with the west.
Again it's not that they're poachers. Axeman could have left it like that and it'd be understandable that he wants to take out people messing around in that sacred land.
It's the fact that working with the west is also a crime worth being mentioned.

It's not that because he loves the old empire he must hate the west too. It may or may not be related but at the moment he happens to have both traits.
He hates the west so he probably wont work with WISE even if they're "good guys"
He loves the empire so if Anya is related to this she's in trouble.

>>280771051
I don't know where anon got the "hates the west because of the dead empire" connection either, which is why I didn't comment on it. All I'm saying is that it's foolish to think Shopkeeper would be okay with WISE and stupid to use him not wanting to personally murder every person that's ever had a positive thought about Westalis as an argument against that.

>Anya lied to Loid about it when directly asked

Anya may not be royalty but there's some details that seem to connect her back to the old empire. It's too vague to say what Axeman is planning to do with it, if anything at all.

Yor is so beautiful..

>>280768593
Was Code White successful? I know they put a lot of marketing into it but compared to KnY its hard to say.

>>280771274
I don't remember exactly how long it sat on the number 1 spot for their box office, but I think that it was like 2-3 months?
So yeah it was pretty successful.

>>280771274
It was successful. Not overwhelmingly successful, but it turned a profit. I get the feeling that it wasn't as high as they wanted it to be though, given how long they dragged out the box office in both Japan and China, like they wanted to squeeze out more profits despite sales being so frontloaded, especially in China. It never beat Godzilla Minus One and got punted by the new Conan when it came out.

>>280770452
The general fanbase wants to see more of the family being a family so that would make them happy.
The last panel in the chapter makes me feel like Yor might become more shy and reserved now that she's realized her feelings though. She didn't spaz out when Loid spoke directly to her despite just telling Anya to keep her feelings a secret from him.

It would be funny if Loid also confides in Anya about how he feels about Yor and asks her to keep it a secret. Then Anya just gets smug.

>>280771713
MAIDEN IN LOVE

>>280771569
That's on the creative team. Most of the people buying movie tickets in Japan are women, sometimes with their families so you need something to draw in either the fujos or the yumejos with their kids. Haikyuu and Conan both outsold immediately, so the SxF movie could've made more by giving Yuri a bigger role and demoting Fiona to a cameo appearance.

>>280771725
>She didn't spaz out when Loid spoke directly to her despite just telling Anya to keep her feelings a secret from him.

No, but she did almost immediately confess her feelings and say “I love you” to Loid, only barely managing to deflect to “I love omurice!”

I think with this arc concluded, the next one will feature Loid making an effort to learn about Yor’s likes, dislikes and history by spending more time with her. And because she is infatuated with him, she will slip up and almost spill the beans at multiple points, only barely catching herself in time.

To be fair, the promotional material and merchandizing all portray them as a perfect loving family. There's a huge dissonance between the material and the actual series.

>>280761533 (OP)
Those people that bet on Yor falling first and Loid falling harder won the jackpot today. It'll be a while before that hard fall happens tho, and when it does it might even end up badly for Twilight. Worse than when he got shot for her.

>>280772427
I'd settle for him just asking her opinion more in the background and talking with her. Things he should've always been doing since he's always been badly affected whenever he thinks Yor wants to walk away. It's crazy that he's never dedicated any time to really learn more about her the way he's observed Anya several times before.

>>280773852
Axeman himself went back and forth on how sentimental he allowed Loid to get early on. He let Twilight disclose real information about himself to Yor just to reassure her that she wasn't replaceable. He only really doubled down on the disaffected spy persona during the bus arc, which threw a lot of readers for a loop since he was having heart to hearts with the rest of the family not even 20 chapters before.

>>280773852
>There's a huge dissonance between the material and the actual series.
I mostly agree, but even the source material portrays him as super sappy when he's apparently not that according to Axeman.

I said this before, but despite it only being six months he's already slipping up this hard and he doesn't even realize it. He has been drawn unknowingly giving out these genuine smiles and stares full of warmth at the Forgers. And then Axeman claims he's still closed off, on guard, and not budging much. Something we only see rarely like during the aftermath of the bus arc.

I feel like it's a convenient excuse for Axeman to stall. Draw him being vulnerable and not spy like at all, and then hit he breaks so he goes back to being mission focused.

>>280773852
Same way a lot of fan art portrays Yor as a horny drunk when she’s sloshed off of her wine, even though she’s been drinking less and is way too much of a prude to even sleep in the same room as Loid, let alone share a bed with him.

It’s fun to look at, but it can give people the wrong idea about the characters and the story.

Yor what

>>280774201
Yor sex (for the mission)

>>280768593
>I unironically loved Code White and hope they do another comfy movie.
so did I, do people 'ironically' like it or something?

>>280774082
I feel like Axeman has been getting worse with letting his spytism dictate his lines and actions though. For example, he wrote this exact same conversation between Twilight and Nightfall during the mole arc, where Twilight was way more stressed out by Yor who was picking an active fight, and he was still firm on keeping Yor as his mission wife. Yet 40 chapters later he just readily agrees with Nightfall for no credible reason, just to give Axeman an excuse to draw her with gag faces.
Making Twilight not carry any hardline standards really cheapens whatever growth he was supposed to have had up to this point. I can't say he's changed at all, let alone grown attached to the Forgers when Axeman just uses his mission as an excuse to disregard what he's said and done before.

>>280774467
>Yet 40 chapters later he just readily agrees with Nightfall for no credible reason, just to give Axeman an excuse to draw her with gag faces.

Wrong. The point is Loid’s so compromised by what he feels for Yor, he can’t stop thinking about her - specifically, the date they went on, how she asked what he wants from their relationship and barely spoke to him after. It’s throwing him off his game. Dude is acting to unlike himself he even entertains the idea of having Fiona act as his wife for a moment, which Sylvia puts the kibosh on.

>>280774467
I wanted to say that perhaps the Mole arc was some sort of wakeup call for Axeman and that's why he has tried to stop it, but he still put out chapter 103 afterwards where the fans went nuts for the family stuff and the couple teasing.

>axeman doesn't want to progress Loid too much since that would advance the plot too much
>axeman doesn't want to draw family stuff probably for the same reasons
>when we do get it it's them being cutesy with each other

He does that and then states that the fanbase has a skewed idea of Loid as a character as if he's not contributing to it.
It does end up coming off as very flip floppy. Maybe if he actually wrote more family stuff that involved a cold and grumpy spy being professional he'd have more ground to stand on, but the cold spy is never around. It's always the spy that makes this genuine heh face that's around.

>>280761533 (OP)
In Yor's mind, Loid is still totally in love with his first wife and his relationship with her is only for Anya's benefit, so she won't force the kiss with him since she's a good girl, unless Loid goes for it first.

>Loid goes to pick up Yor from work
>Sees Hemlock, notes that he gets an unusual vibe from him
>Hemlock being a freak quickly puts Loid at ease
>Yor and Hemlock called into the office by the Chief
>Office girls start to loudly remark about Loid being a perfect husband and all that
>Carmella talks about how it's not fair that Yor gets 2 hotties interested in her
>Other girls tell her to shush it
>Loid immediately picks up on the gossip and deduces they're talking about Hemlock
>Sees how Hemlock and Yor act relaxed and different with each other
>Loid realizes he's feeling jealous but can't explain why
>It's a shame marriage after all

>>280774815
>since she's a good girl,
she is explicitly not a good girl though

>>280774629
Key word is "credible". Even if he was stressed out, he never considered letting Nightfall join Strix. Not just because it's an odd move to explain for the cover or even that he cares about Yor more than he lets on, but just that he's already decided that she's ill suited to take on the role Anya needs as well as not having the same inroads with Donovan's family as Yor does.
Trying to explain it as him being thrown off doesn't work because he's left Yor after awkward conversions and still held onto her being his best bet, and there's nothing on his side that happened that changed this for him. He didn't even think of the Wheeler mission until after Sylvia corrected him. I just think it was a bad writing choice for Axeman to make here since it only justifies the gag, but not Twilight's character.

>>280774916
>development I don’t like is bad writing

Why do you keep posting old chapters to support your terrible analysis? Why can’t you post anything recent or current? Is it that hard to admit you’re misreading what happened?

It’s perfectly reasonable to say that Loid is so consumed by his thoughts for Yor, but also incapable of being honest with himself about his feelings, that he’d be overthinking and worrying about what Yor asked him when she said “And what about you, Loid? What do you want?” and the silent treatment he got after. It’s all perfectly in character. It has nothing to do with any “gag.”

>Loid and Yor have a nice heart to heart
>Both acknowledge how real feelings ("fake" on Loids part) have entered
>Ends up with an agreement to give romance a real shot (i.e. let's go on a real date)
>Loid goes back to Handler to report success
>Guy with the mustache waltz in
>"By the way I did some digging, turns out all her documents from the ages of 12 to 21 were falsified"
>Loid looks at the report
>Yor's whole existence is a black box for some reason
>Handler assumes it's due to shoddy records keeping
>Loid starts to piece together Yor's strange skill set
>He asks himself again "who is Yor Briar?"

>>280774791
Adding something to this because I feel like it summarizes my gripes:

Axeman is not good at writing or depicting the reserved character he wants Twilight/Loid to be. It is not consistent enough compared to how he is usually depicted.
And that is why there's a difference in what readers and author see in him even if you ignore the "ideal" and "end goal" fanart of him doing the icha icha with his wife.

>>280775107
And like I said in my post, what changed for him to consider it now? He did not use Wheeler as an excuse for this reasoning. He already went through the reasons in his head just last chapter for why Yor leaving would ruin everything without figuring out a better way. There is no reason for him to say Nightfall had a point besides letting Axeman joke with her reaction. And it comes off even worse in a chapter where Yor is realizing what she feels.
>Why do you keep posting old chapters
To show that not only is there no throughline here, but that he's actively going backwards for no real reason. Would it really be a worse choice to have Loid reflexively stay committed to the bit? Maybe you want to correct the details for Axeman when he fails to sell his choices, but he's not consistent with showing Loid's character and that plays a large part in why there's a gap between how he views him and how his audience views him.

>>280775184
Handler isn't that careless.

>>280775184
I like this. Would be a good way to set up Loid eventually figuring out Yor’s secret, or coming close, and giving us some of her backstory.

How old were Yor and Yuri when their parents died? How did they die? How was Yor recruited into working for Garden? How did she keep her job a secret from Yuri when she would frequently come home covered in blood? I want to know!

>>280775184
>>280775583
WISE still calling Yor as "Briar" rather than "Forger" seems like, while they're trusting info from Twilight himself, they're not that lenient. I could see Fiona occasionally going to Franky for additional info along with trying to pick up any rumor that could be used to leverage her claim to replace Yor (mostly complaints from Franky about being Anya's babysitter for the nth time) while Handler just puts a note of it mostly for Twilight's sake (can't risk overworking their best agent especially when SSS have been rooting out their people as seen in Wheeler's case).

>>280775774
>How did she keep her job a secret from Yuri when she would frequently come home covered in blood?
Considering that Yuri was easily tied over when Yor said she forgot to tell him about Loid, she could've said "I work by killing pigs (I recall where Yor called her target "pig", maybe at the Code White movie?)". Probably throw in a gag flashback where Yor defends Yuri from a wild animal killing it in the process and maybe tie in to that memory of her hugging Yuri to the point of breaking his ribs/bones.

>>280775386
Loid’s feelings for Yor are getting stronger, and harder for him to suppress. You combine that with what Yor said to him on their date, her not speaking to him after, his tendency to overthink things but not confront them head on, it all makes sense that he’d say “oh yeah, Fiona should replace Yor as my wife for the mission.” He didn’t mean it, he was distracted and his judgment was clouded by his thoughts about Yor. Even the mustached spy, Fiona and Sylvia could see it.

You’re just dumb and think everything Endo does with Fiona is for some gag or to draw exaggerated faces. Zero media literacy and no business discussing this sort of thing.

>>280775774
The fan book says that Yor was the one who found Garden instead of the reverse and they were able to give her work there.

>>280775903
They’re so fucking cute. I especially can’t get over Yor’s smile.

Yuri and Yor will raise Anya together after Yor never forgives Twilight for manipulating her.

Remember that Twilight is not husband or father material by any means. He's a pathological liar with identity issues.

>>280771274
That's your problem, you compare everything to KnY movie.

>>280776119
Yor will fix him.
Loid probably has massive mommy issues and Yor is just the perfect woman for that.

>>280776338
She has just what he needs.

I wonder if Loid will reveal his real name to Yor by the end of the series.
I can see him settling for the identity he has now because there'll be no point in going back.

>>280775910
All I'm saying is that justification was weak, since this whole discussion started with how Axeman has been letting Twilight's spytism dictate his character too much lately on things that were seemingly settled before. This instance is not radically different from the other ones, and Axeman's avoidance in showing Twilight's real feelings wherever possible hurts his case for saying that it is here.
And it's beyond the Nightfall example, like how Twilight went full glowie and had to be reminded not to see Anya as a tool for the mission in the winter festival chapters even though he's been mindful of it since the early chapters and story arcs. Axeman writing Twilight like this whether to delay the inevitable or to make a funny gag is partly why he has trouble conveying it the way he wants to. And the older chapters do matter for this because they also inform the readers' view of him and can work against what he's trying to write now.

This is beyond retarded, everytime someone reposts it elsewhere it's free advertisement for them. I've discovered or made people discover so many artists like this

>>280776702
I agree with you and think the other anon is being unreasonable. I understand what Axeman was going for, but the execution was weak. When I was first reading it, I interpreted it as Loid just humoring Fiona for a moment. "That's reasonable, but no" type thing. But then his thoughts made it obvious he'd been serious and I was confused.
I would've been happier with it if it'd been made obvious it was for Yor's benefit. Have him agonize over how maybe he misinterpreted her again. Maybe she actually ISN'T happy but she's too concerned with him and Anya to leave. I think just about the only thing that could make him disregard Anya like this is if he thinks Yor is really suffering. (Though I still don't think he'd default to Fiona.)
Instead it seems like it's more about him. That's also fine, but if he's throwing both of his girls under the bus over it, I'd like to see him really panicking to justify how mindless it is. I realize he's not thinking straight as is, but this very scene had him able to rattle off a bunch of data points even while zoning out. So he's obviously not that out of it.

>>280773389
Sauce?

>>280764237
I do really like that Yor ended up confessing this to the only person she reasonably could here.
>can't tell Loid because it's one-sided
>can't tell her brother because then she has to admit her marriage is a lie
>can't tell the OLs because they also think her marriage is real
>can't tell Garden because her job is supposed to be her top priority
Anya is the only safe person Yor could confide in. It's why I want to see so many more mother-daughter chapters for them.

>>280777845

>>280777831
>interpreted it as Loid just humoring Fiona for a moment. "That's reasonable, but no" type thing. But then his thoughts made it obvious he'd been serious
Yeah, that's also why he comes across as more mission-minded here than just being distracted by his feelings for Yor. Sylvia had to be the one who ultimately dismissed the idea, not him. It's hard to buy that he was distracted by his growing feelings and misspoke when he lacks any awareness or realization about it afterward.
So it reads like it's just another option he's considering for his mission because he's paranoid Yor's onto him. And given Axeman's made plenty of statements about how closed off Twilight is supposed to be, it makes me wonder if he meant it to be taken that way since it's juxtaposed against Yor realizing she loves him here.

>ow did she keep her job a secret from Yuri when she would frequently come home covered in blood? I want to know!

Yuri states he believed it was Yor's blood, that she was working so hard she bled. Yor either did not know he believed this or let him believe it.

>>280775386
>There is no reason for him to say Nightfall had a point besides letting Axeman joke with her reaction.

All he said was that it may be sensible to have a backup plan. I don't see it as him seriously considering it. The fact that even this much caused Sylvia to ask if he was overworked suggests the point of this scene is to show how distracted he is. Unlike with Wheeler he doesn't have another big mission to focus on, so he let himself get more distracted than before.

>>280774155
>Same way a lot of fan art portrays Yor as a horny drunk when she’s sloshed off of her wine, even though she’s been drinking less and is way too much of a prude to even sleep in the same room as Loid, let alone share a bed with him.

I see that as more an exaggeration than outright wrong. We do know Yor can be seductive and forward when tipsy, it was her idea to push Loid down and crawl on top of him for that kiss, even if she couldn't follow through with it. And we're in the dark as to whether knowing she is in love is going to make her more comfortable with this stuff going forward.

I actually like this chapter a lot, fellow Spy x Family readers. The tensions within the main family might cause it to collapse, meaning we'll finally be rid of the most useless character - Yor Briar. With Yor and Yuri (he's kinda cute though but not as cute as Twilight) out of the picture, Fiona can fill in as the mother. Then the Desmond plot will be resolved in two volumes tops and we can have another volume of pure babymaking (for the mission).

>>280779281
nope.

How I expect this to end.

Some people find out Anya is an esper.

They hire Yor to kill her, because they think Anya is dangerous.

Yor sacrifices herself to save Anya.

Anya and Loid have to escape and live somewhere else.

>>280779923
I don't even know where to begin with your post.
Yor does not take jobs targeting children, we do not know if Garden does and just sends another assassin against them.
Yor is the closet thing to a metahuman we've seen in the series so nobody they send after Anya will get past her. We just saw recently that even threatening Anya or Loid will supercharge Yor.

>>280779923
How I expect this to end
>Loid never reveals he's a spy
>Yor never reveals she's an assassin
>Anya never reveals she's an esper
>They all continue to be a family

It seems like a central theme that keeps getting brought up in the story is that sometimes you have to keep secrets for your family's sake. I think that Loud and Yor will both retire for sure though

>>280780285
I'm waiting for the chapter where WISE becomes aware of Garden's existence.

Not sure what the scenario would be since we now know that the head of the SSS knows the Gardener, and that the gardener picks and chooses which job he wants.

I imagine the first real confrontation might happen between Nightfall and a Garden agent we haven't seen yet, with Nightfall barely making it out due to the extra conditioning she's put herself through.

We haven't seen a Garden agent fail a mission yet have we?

>>280780488
Except the author has implied that the secrets being learned will be part of the series ending (or rather that if it happens it will be near the end of the series).

>>280781301
What do you expect? This small arc was about Yor accepting her feelings. We'll probably get some in between school stuff and then focus more on Loid again.

>>280779923
Yor would die for Anya in a heartbeat, but Axeman would never allow that to happen. People that think someone is going to bite it by the end usually think it's going to be Sylvia, Fiona, Franky, McMahon, or Bond. Very rarely you'll also see Yuri.

>>280763073
1/10 chance it will be an actual investigation/meeting with the garden/finding an actual flaw with Yor's schedule/past that will start a major point of the plot by having twilight actually discovering a trail.

It's most of Garden, not just her. Yor is the strongest/most skilled, but it doesn't seem to be by much as she said explicitly that she couldn't defeat Hemlock without going all out. Even then, it wasn't a curbstomp. The only exception to the superhuman rule seems to be Gympie as McMahon said she lacks the power that the others have.

>two spies

Loid is the spy. Yor is an assassin. And they have no clue about each other’s identities. 6 months have now passed in universe time since they married.

Also you have to keep in mind that Loid and Yor have mutually agreed that their marriage is “fake”, as in lacking any romantic connection. It’s purely for show.

Now they’re developing real feelings for each other, but they’re both so emotionally damaged, with Loid having PTSD and Yor being shy and romantically inexperienced, neither is willing to make the first move. It’s a slow process.

>>280782533
The Garden agents seem to have specialties

>Yor- SSR+ tier, good at everything except lying. Can protect, clear a room, identify threats, resist poison, no lethally neutralize, brute force and pinpoint accuracy as needed
>Manager- sniper, intellect, hand to hand, managing, past his prime though

Yor is simply too OP when she gets serious. It took like 40 hitman to even get close to killing her and that was because of attrition and she had to protect the VIP

He is, but the girl he is marrying is a special autist.

>>280782083
Bond is the only Forger without love.

How does Loid get out of being a spy? It seems like Garden would actually let Yor retire since the manager was talking about how he can't retire until the new batch of assassins are ready.

Do you think the handler will reward him for completing Strix by letting him remain in his civilian role and erasing his existence on their end, turn his role as Loid Forger into a full time position or will Loid actually fake his death or something?

>>280782850
>James Bond is good at socializing and getting with girls though.

Loid is also good at that. He’s dated and fucked countless women got past missions.

No, it would’ve taken 3 years for the Fellowship to be separated and Frodo and Sam to set off on their own. Still slow, and frustrating at parts, but not THAT bad.

Your loss.

>>280782780
They definitely all have specialties. The fanbook says as much. I'm just saying that the physical aspects seem to be mostly universal amongst them. McMahon demonstrates superspeed and superstrength during the cruise arc, the air ripples when Shopkeeper attacks, Hemlock carves up tree trunks and throws branches that explode against the ground. And then of course there's Yor, McMahon, and Hemlock all tree jumping.
McMahon has said that Garden is on a different level and it's very apparent.

>Loid looks into Yor's background
>Discovers that Yor's family was from one of the most devastated areas of the war
>Brutalized by his own country even

I have a feeling Yor and Yuri's backstory is going to be sad as shit. Like I actually think that Yor was forced to go full savage to save her brothers life because they were pushed up against a wall that bad

>>280782972
>>280782932
>Do you forget that Loid has been with countless women?
Yeah sorry I misread him, he looked so distant and aloof from what the few chapters I read.
>>280783055
>Your loss
Is not like the story quality will be devalued once is finished.

>>280783035
He'll obviously quit and continue to live as Loid Forger because he enjoys that life.
I don’t think we'll ever find out what his real identity is and we really don’t need to.
By the end of the series he probably won’t have any reason to take on his actual name again.

>>280783126
>Discovers that Yor's family was from one of the most devastated areas of the war
It actually wasn't. We've seen Nielsberg across multiple time periods, and it's always spotless. Yor mentions airstrikes once, but there's no evidence they ever experienced any. It stands out a lot against basically everywhere else we've seen. It makes the death of their parents suspicious.
>I have a feeling Yor and Yuri's backstory is going to be sad as shit.
I'm sure it will be crushing, but that will probably be because of Shopkeeper more than the war.

Season 3 footage very soon. Like 18 hours from now?

I mean... I should be happy she loves him, but she loves a lie. He isn't Loid Forger, he's agent Twilight.

>>280763132
More like his lackey's need to grow a pair and slap him across the back of the head.

>>280783874
But the parts that stick with her aren't Twilight or Loid Forger, it's Redacted. She's in love with Redacted and Loid Forger is the set dressing so to speak.

I'm looking forward to the chapter where Yor approaches her coworkers for love advice and confesses that she's in love with her husband, and they look at her like it's the dumbest thing she has ever said.

>>280783874
Anya knows Loid the best, even better than he knows himself because she can clue in to see what he's thinking.

Any idea what Season 3 is going to cover?

>>280784062

>Camilla who has 100% been fucked in the ass and likes it
>Millie who is a massive slut with daddy issues

When Yor and Loid finally have vanilla sex and she tells them about it they are going to laugh her out of the room and then send her back to Loid with new ideas and positions

>>280782083
Franky will make a female clone of himself

Is it me or are Yor's tits getting bigger? She was packing some heat in the early parts of the manga but she's absolutely stacked now.

>>280783035
If the series ends with either, or worse both, Forger retiring from their secret life I will riot. I do not want that. Yor being an assassin and Loid being a spy is like 60% of what makes them so interesting. I would much rather see them make their family life a priority, or find a way to balance their family with their secret life.

Loid and Yor learning the truth about each other is fine. I’d also be fine with them not. I just don’t want them to lose what makes them such compelling characters to become a fucking psychiatrist and a civil servant but for real.

>It seems like Garden would actually let Yor retire since the manager was talking about how he can't retire until the new batch of assassins are ready.
McMahon also said he has to wear a mask for the rest of his life and they must always be devoted to Garden above all else.
"Retire" probably means a desk job at HQ or something easy like clean up crew, not actual retirement.

*sigh*
I wana get married.

>>280783874
She loves the Loid that is beneath the mask.

>>280784436
They're full of love for Loid now.

>>280786811
Soon they'll be even fuller with milk

>>280761997
I want to see how he interacts with Loid. I get the feeling they won't like each other very much.

Yor owes me sex.

I can imagine now that Yor has started accepting her feelings for Loid she will slowly get less and less overly reactive to skinship with him. That will then slowly lead to her getting the courage to give him the kiss on his cheek.

is axeman a hack?

>>280788065
If she becomes much more comfortable around him, and that creates more moments similar to her teasing him about his brow then that would be very cute.
I think that her trying to flirt is too unlikely and romcomy, but maybe Axeman will at least try for some banter between them.

>>280788256
The pruners identities seem to be secret, even from the SSS. Shopkeeper couldn't ask them to leave her alone without revealing she was Thorn Princess.
That said, it probably goes a little deeper than that. I find it really hard to believe that Shopkeeper doesn't know Yuri is with the SSS. As Loid said, Yuri's sister should be impervious. Shopkeeper would know that and wouldn't encourage her to pursue something that could lessen her worth to him. But he still did. Maybe Yuri's civilian sister would be fine, but his assassin sister wouldn't.
I wonder if the SSS has ever actually found a Garden operative. Wilker seemed very interested in fishing for information and was put out by all the jobs Shopkeeper turned down. They might like having their own personal pruner around if they could find one and blackmail them.

>>280782620
>the fight was over the second he invoked Anya's and Loid's names.

Not quite, given Yor's thoughts have her state she could not let him gain any distance on her, and he still countered or toughed out her initial attacks before she managed to get a "killing" (if she had not stopped at the last moment) hit on him in exchange for badly cutting her arm.

REMEMBER TO THANK BECKY, CAPTAIN OF ALL SHIPS.

>>280788065
She's not going to make a move until she gets some sort of signal from Loid.

The most I can see her do is grab his hand unprovoked.

so is the romance actually well-written or is it the usual female character loves MC but hes oblivious?

>>280789608
They're both oblivious, both of each other's feelings and their own (except Yor until now).

>>280789637
hmm okay thanks. is the slow burn well written?

>>280789700
Well, there are about 135 chapters including the regular missions and short missions, so that gives you a sense of how long it's taken to get to this point. The burn is very slow but people always seem to like it when it advances even by just the tiniest amount.

Hype for Yor x Loid making babies!

>>280789608
>or is it the usual female character loves MC but hes oblivious?
He once correctly assumed that Yor was in love with him, but because she's Yor she ended up kicking him unconscious when he tried to get her in bed which made him think she rejected him.
So now he has maintained a respectful distance from her and him being unable to read her has made him sloppy at his job.

So yes and no. Them being in love with each other isn't the real hurdle though. It's the lies they're living.

>>280789787
135 chapters isn't terrible if the manga plans on surpassing 300+. i wanna check it out but all the shippy panels ive come across seem lackluster but maybe i need the entire context.

>>280789882
oh okay so hes not completely oblivious, thanks

>>280789608
To clarify as well, while it has been present, romance is not the main focus of the series overall. So that slows romantic development down all on its own.

>>280789907
It's not a romcom. So if that's what you're after you're going to be disappointed.
The romcom is probably what the "fanbase" enjoys the most, but it takes a backseat to the story the author is telling at a glacial pace.

>>280789941
>>280789962
yeah that i can tell but it seems that the romance is a major subplot so i was just curious considering how popular the series is. thank you anons, maybe i will pick this up later in the week

i dont care about anything else in this manga except anya, becky, school chapters, loid and yor

bond chapters? into the trash it goes
franky chapters? who cares
nightfall? more like night-who

>>280789990
There's also a secondary toddler romance that is an even slower burn (though some argue it's the primary one). In that one, the girl is oblivious to the boy's extremely obvious feelings.

>>280790021
Nobody argues in good faith that Damianya is the primary romance, anon.

>>280789907
Just read the manga and binge it if you have the time. Watch the anime too, it’s really well acted and animated. Even the English dub is great.

And Loid is oblivious, but it’s only a matter of time until he figures it out. Yor tends to give mixed signals about her feelings, especially when she’s drunk, in physical pain or is emotionally overwhelmed, so she can be hard to read for him.

>>280773389
The Raped watermark, again..

>>280790021
>There's also a secondary toddler romance
yeah i know that but i really don't care about the toddler puppy love, the kid has an ugly design

>>280790011
This but I currently skip all school chapters and panels with them since reading the boring repeated namecalling is just a waste. I stopped after the bus arc.
I'll take a Yuri being a freak or Franky failing to get a date chapter over an Eden chapter at this point.

>>280790021
She'd be less oblivious if he'd stop being a little bitch. But I think Endo pushed himself into a corner. It was way too soon for them to share a slow dance.

>>280790216
>the kid has an ugly design
Excuse me, that's Yor's daughter. Do you want to die?

>>280790306
no i meant the kid with black hair who likes her, anya is cute

>>280790091
Of course it is, they are in primary school after all. Honk honk.

>>280790323
Rude. Damian was blessed with his mother's looks.

>>280767947
No! Not the dreaded character growth hair cut. He will keep the mane.

>>280790091
I was always under the impression that both TwiYor and Damianya were primary. All lonely souls who are opening up over the course of the story.

News tomorrow.

There's no way they'll blow their load early and show off the halo in the trailer, but that's what I want to see the most.
Maybe we'll get a Melinda voice reveal, some kid Redacted, a shot from inside the bus during the kidnapping, and maybe a shot from inside the sewers

>>280782654
> have no idea about the other 2.

Anya knows who her parents are, with the caveat that her understanding of their secrets is that of a peanut.

>>280783874
Not true, see >>280768633

>>280790258
>This but I currently skip all school chapters and panels with them since reading the boring repeated namecalling is just a waste. I stopped after the bus arc.

Anya's new classmates have been pretty entertaining I think. Helps that they're all her fans now too so no fighting.

>>280790011
I like everything....

>>280790959
I'm worried since we didn't see them in this weeks chapter. I'm hoping they didn't just exist to set off Damian's jealousy.

>>280791023
>t. yotsuba

>>280790480
If you want to say that they're the only ships that matter, that's fair. LoidYor is part of the plot. Them getting together is an endgame condition as one of the things that has to happen for the family to be real.
Damianya is not guaranteed. They will definitely be friends. Real friends. But it might not ever go further than that. We aren't even guaranteed a timeskip. But that doesn't necessarily matter. Damian is a core part of Anya's character. Probably the biggest part at this point. Almost all of her development comes from him and almost her entire character arc at this point is just becoming his friend. I don't think their "romantic" relationship matters, but their friendship certainly does.

>>280790695
Have they said how many episodes yet and whether or not it's split cour?

>>280792082
They haven't mentioned anything but the amount of material they want to cover means it has to be 24-25 episodes

>>280792212
I love this picture. There's something both really sweet and deeply tragic about seeing them happy together as children.

>>280792356
Same, but I also hope the cliche of them actually meeting as kids and not remembering each other never actually happens.
Let it stay fanart and volume extras.

>>280776661
I wonder what's redacted real name. I've heard people say it doesn't matter but I think it's kinda important.

>>280792691
You know it's going to be Roy.

>>280792472
So what are the best on Yor's and Yuri's parents?

>Parents were anti war proponents or called for political change
>Silenced by bad actors within the Ostanian Government
>Yor saw it all
>Filled with righteous rage and went to kill the government officials who made the order
>Gets the jump on them, injures them but gets overpowered before she can kill
>Young McMahon shows up, saves Yor and kills the corrupt government agents
>Recognizes raw talent, asks Yor if she wants to serve her country

When is operation NeoStrix gonna start and have Fiona marry scruffy to infiltrate the school?

>>280793019
I bet her parents, or perhaps only her mom, had some ties to Garden. And Yor was sent to go look for them as her Mother's last wish.

>>280793409
I've long thought Axeman messed up on the art in this scene, as Yuri and Yor don't look anywhere near 7 years apart in age here.

>>280793485
4 and 11? 6 and 13 is believable.

Has Axeman ever drawn a young teenager? How old is the other Desmond?

>>280793019
Mom was probably part of Garden.
>Axeman uses emblems for visual storytelling
>Yor has a rose emblem all over all her outfits, but especially her Thorn Princess one
>it is consistently absent from every single appearance of child Yor until her first mission as Thorn Princess
>mom wore the same emblem
Hemlock also recently made a comment about Yor not deserving the name Thorn Princess, which adds to the idea that it's inherited.
The fanbook posed the question of how Yor found Garden. Detailed instructions straight to them from a former member is a pretty clean explanation.

>>280793485
Yeah Yor doesn't look much older than the Eden kids in this shot, but he doesnt ever really draw any teens.
Their parents must have passed away when Yuri was younger than Anya for it to make sense and for Yor to have wasted her youth raising him.

Perhaps it's a personal thing but when they talk about Yor having to raise Yuri my mind goes to a girl that is not even a teenager being forced to raise a kindergartner. It doesn't go to a teenage girl raising an 8 year old.
The former explains why Yor is so sheltered and genuine. The latter not so much unless she was home schooled and they lived in isolation so she would have turned out that way even if the parents had lived.

>>280793583
She seems to only be a few inches taller than him and doesn't look anything over to years old. Yuri should have been tiny compared to her with seven years of age difference.

>>280793841
>Their parents must have passed away when Yuri was younger than Anya for it to make sense and for Yor to have wasted her youth raising him.

Another thing I've long found mysterious is that Yor was unable to answer when asked about what food her mother used to make them. It was the much younger Yuri who answered instead, despite how he should have remembered it less. But maybe that is meant to show how divorced Yor feels from that time period.

>>280793583
She's definitely not 13 in that picture. She's probably not even 13 in her earliest orphaned appearances. She doesn't have curves until >>280793605, which has to be years after they're first orphaned considering how different she looks. She's probably supposed to be like 8 in >>280793409 and Yuri is the world's tallest one year old.

>>280794009
It's been theorized that Yor blocks out a lot. Almost all Briar flashbacks come from Yuri. Yor thinking back is rare, and it's usually freeze frames at most.
It's probably a side effect of Axeman not wanting to show things about Garden before he finished planning everything out, but it works for her.

They became orphans when Yuri was 2-3 years old That's what makes the most sense to me.

But look at pic related. If Yor is supposed to be 11-12 here because she's still 7 years older than Yuri then it just looks odd. That also brings up the question of how old was Redacted when it all went down. Was he actually supposed to be almost a teenager and this is just how Axeman draws them?

Of course maybe they're all similar ages for the cover and that's the end of it.

>>280794216
>Of course maybe they're all similar ages for the cover and that's the end of it.
It's probably this. If Anya can be sitting around with her elementary school age parents, I don't see why Yuri has to be the correct age.
>That also brings up the question of how old was Redacted when it all went down.
I would guess he's ten. We'll probably be able to calculate it based on Yor's age at the start of the war if we get that from her backstory. It's heavily implied Loid is ~28 in canon. Just work backwards from that.

>>280794216
The timeline of the war and Twilight's life as presented so far doesn't make a lot sense when you actually sit down and think about it. Axeman does have a way of drawing near-teenagers that's distinct from smaller children, and even disregarding that Twilight's behavior and general level of maturity in the flashbacks we see means he probably isn't much older than 8-9. But even highballing it at 10, that means the start of the war to the end lasted over eight years, probably longer, which is an astonishingly long time for a hot war between two bordering industrialized nations. For context, World War 1 lasted four years and the Western front alone produced 20 million casualties and a decade-long economic collapse, far from the condition of Ostania we see in the modern day. Axeman clearly was not obsessively working out the details when writing this stuff out so we probably shouldn't put too much stock in analyzing it.

>>280792904
or James

>>280793841
I think a lot about how Hemlock said Yuri didn't stop Yor from devolving into a hollow shell of a person, but Loid and Anya did. What was the difference? It can't be anything like love. Yor and Yuri loved each other intensely.

>>280794528
>For context, World War 1 lasted four years and the Western front alone produced 20 million casualties and a decade-long economic collapse, far from the condition of Ostania we see in the modern day.

It's perhaps no coincidence then that the story starts 10 years after the war ended. Perhaps it is only recently that Ostania started looking like it does now. We see in flashbacks that the post war regions looked hellish and starvation was widespread. We also don't see much of modern Ostania beyond a few select locations. There may be quite a few places that are still in ruins.

>>280794946
Maybe the pedestal Yuri placed Yor on meant there was a certain distance between them. Yor sees Loid as a peer rather than a surrogate son, and thus for the first time since her parents died is living with someone who she feels comfortable depending on.

Also, it's possible the "cold, aloof" Thorn Princess that Hemlock came to know only came about when Yuri left for college and Yor became lonely and depressed. He may not have known Yor when she was actively raising Yuri.

>>280795074
Possibly, but a decade-long war on that scale would be a near-apocalyptic event for both countries. The effects would be visible everywhere if that had been part of Axeman's vision of the world to begin with. The fact that we even see a large number of men Twilight's age who are A) alive, and B) aren't missing limbs speaks to how this isn't really something that the story is focusing on.

>>280794528
The rough timeline released in volume 14 estimates ______'s age at around 10 years old when Luwen was bombed and the last war started up. That honestly fit with my impression of him when the chapter released since he and his friends did look a bit taller than Anya's classmates. Yor in her earliest flashbacks also looks like she's about that height or maybe taller, so it makes sense that she's about 11-12 in most of Yuri's earliest memories as orphans. Yuri in the volume 10 insert looks like he's close to Anya's age, so that feels relatively consistent.
I think the only one that felt odd was the flashback with their mother, because Yuri was the one remembering but both he and Yor looked tiny.

>>280794946
Though she does love Yuri he was also pushing her into her work. Both when he was around and when he left. With him it was job first, brother second.
It's the opposite with Loid and Anya. Those two push her away from her work and make her feel more normal by being there. Loid also has that "he can accept me for who I am" vibe that Yor has always cherished. They made her more human by accepting her oddness.

>>280790323
He was almost even uglier until the editor talked him out of it.

>>280785295
Kino, probably the best way to reveal his name

>>280793583
Demetrius is about 13, I think the chapter he finally appears says he's in his second year of middle school, and the Daybreak chapter has their student registration numbers which suggests that they were seven years apart, too, despite Axeman not committing to a hard year on the setting. He looks about seven years older when they're side by side.

>>280793409
>>280793605
So she was just as brainwashed as Yor is? Maybe more. I can't imagine Yor turning Anya over to Shopkeeper.

>>280797064
Yor is fine with Gympie working in Garden, and despite the anons that say otherwise, she gives the impression of only being a preteen at the oldest. Shopkeeper is said to have been the one who raised Yor and taught her everything she knows in the fanbook and her introduction, and with him referring to the younger members as kids that need to be tended to and raised to grow, Yor and possibly her mother could view Garden as a legit guardians.

>>280797064
Yor would absolutely turn Anya over to the Shopkeeper if no better option presented itself.

>>280797064
>I can't imagine Yor turning Anya over to Shopkeeper.

She may not have been serious, but she did have a whole fantasy sequence of having Anya become an assassin-in-training.

>>280797469

All women are fake and gay.

>>280798108
Because Yor loves it.

>>280762373
Yor is attached to Anya, if Twilight gets rid of her, their marriage will take a huge blow, and he isn't good at the understanding and comforting spouse role; he needs Anya's help for that.

The little peanut is also a link to important future connections.

>>280763561
Admit it, you solely want to see Gympie in a school uniform, you perv.
But it would be funny if she gained the boys' attention, even Damian's, and now Anya has to put in an effort to conquer him.

They usually only show scenes from the early episodes in the season, so we'll probably see scenes up to Melinda's introduction. Unless WIT/Cloverworks' production schedule is kind to their teams, the episodes are usually still getting worked on consecutively and often under crunch timetables. They probably only have the first six episodes ready at best. I earnestly hope they cast Sayaka Ohara as Melinda and Kana Hanazawa as Chloe, but I'll accept other names as long as the performance fits.

>>280783021
He will be part of a size difference couple with Wiesel.

>>280800077

If Franky told Loid that his wife was an assassin and she was after him, would Loid believe him?

>>280800248
She's the one name that I see coming up with Japanese fans, and while they don't dictate who ultimately gets the role, I can see that having some influence, since sometimes seiyuu are contacted for specific roles instead of having to audition for them.

>>280800493
>Loid
>not ignoring every suspicious account of Yor
lol. lmao even.

>>280800493
Loid absolutely trust Franky, he would belive him

>>280800493
Would you trust Franky about women?

>>280798967
She may feel that is overstepping her bounds, especially after the subject of love and mothers brought Anya to tears.

Twilight is evil.

>>280802334
It's okay because Yor will fix him.

>>280792691
It's probably something starting with L/R, since all the aliases he picks for himself start that way. Making it close in sound to his birth name could make it easier to associate with his current identit, so that he responds quickly and slips up less when someone calls out to him.
I do think his real name is important though, since Axeman said that his true personality is neither Loid nor Twilight.

>twilight will be made to kill both yor and anya
>he will do it
next manga

>>280767382
>can't get his fake wife and her unusual mannerisms out of his head during his work

>>280804355
Meanwhile Yor only gets smarter and more capable...

>>280803248
>since Axeman said that his true personality is neither Loid nor Twilight
I feel like there's a lot of redacted in Loid since when he's with his fake family he doesn't need to act that much.

>>280780539
It would be really funny if WISE becomes aware of Gardwn and Sylvia just waltzes into Gardener's mansion and has a lore dump talk with him. Nothing really happens, except veiled threats, the understanding that war is bad and some info trading is going on so WISE agents and Garden operatives stay out of each others hair.

>>280804908
I think Axeman defines Loid as the persona he uses when interacting with people outside of the loop.
Loid acts like a patient and mild-mannered family man when he's in front of people outside the family. When he's alone with them, he is more unguarded and doesn't bother hiding his annoyance and impatience either. But he still uses it in certain situations, like when Yor became upset last chapter because he gave a placating "Loid" answer instead of his own genuine opinion on staying together.

>>280806127
Looks like they're opening on an anime original episode.

>>280761533 (OP)
Is it just me or does the Peanut looks extra precocious this chapter?

>>280806384
They had to because of how they handled the adaptation so far. No way would they ever open on M60, and M61 is too short without it.

>>280806384
I have high hopes. "Mama becomes the wind" is one of my favorite episode segments.

How long until the MISUNDERSTANDINGS arc where they find out about eachothers identities and both think the other one has just been playing them

>>280807632
Well they've both acknowledged all along that they are tricking the other, so they wouldn't have much ground to stand on in terms of moral outrage finding out they've been lied to. Not that this means they wouldn't feel hurt by it still.

>>280807795
I just want the Thorn Princess vs Twilight showdown with Anya having to tard wrangle them out of a deathmatch.

>>280807632
Probably after they both admitted that they're in love with each other to make it extra painful.
Yor has more of a right to feel hurt and betrayed than Loid because everything about him was just a huge lie including Anya. And he's an enemy of the state no less.

She'll probably think that his actual feelings for her are also a lie at this point so we can have a real fight between them.
I'd figure Yor would be more on the offense with Loid trying to evade her most of the time trying to figure out a way to defeat her and right before they kill each other Anya steps in.

>>280807632
That will only really matter if Yor finds out about Loid's real identity
Loid would panic about Thorn Princess but it's not really mission jeopardizing

>>280807632
Here's my guess on how things will go down.

Within the next couple arcs Loid will realize that he's in love with Yor and that he actually really enjoys their family life which is why he'll probably want to quit working for WISE after operation Strix.

Him and Yor will grow closer due to the lovey dovey signals they get from each other and then shit goes down with Loid probably finding out about Yor being the Thorn Princess. He'll distance himself from her again because he has to consider Yor an enemy.

Shit gets worse and Yuri somehow manages to expose Loid. He'll obviously go ballistic over Loid taking advantage of his innocent gullible sister and face him immediately which will lead to both of them fighting again. Yuri loses and then Yor will find them in an unlucky position with perhaps Yuri wounded and bleeding which will make her go ballistic in return.

Then we get Twilight vs Thorn Princess with lots of dramatic dialogue. Anya will obviously stop the fight and reveal her powers to them which will cause them to reconcile.

Then they face the final boss together as a family.

>>280806748
Precocious means developing abilities or traits earlier than expected for a given age. I think you mean precious.

>>280808522
>Within the next couple arcs Loid will realize that he's in love with Yor and that he actually really enjoys their family life which is why he'll probably want to quit working for WISE after operation Strix.

I still am unsure of the validity of this, as Twilight works for WISE due to his desire to not be a ignorant bystander in conflicts that lead to wars. If he believes he can still contribute to peace, I don't see him being willing to quit (though perhaps his responsibilities within WISE could change, like him becoming more of a manager than a field agent).

Also it's not like active spies can't have families. It complicates things, but it does happen.

>>280806748
she looks fat, I think loid has been feeding her too much

>>280797920
It would never ever happen, but Anya has the potential to be the best assassin/spy in the world. Being able to know exactly what someone is thinking obviously puts you leagues ahead of the pack in any social engineering context.

>>280808850
Even in her school context she's already done some social engineering. She managed to make peace between the two new boys through it.

>>280808522
Loid will at best become 'retired' from field work and take over logistics of all operations in Ostania. He's very serious about spy work and staying in the know

does anyone else find it offensive that this manga is literally just a super hot girl lusting after chad? why do ugly men never win in a love story and get the girl? it makes me sick.

>>280809904
>this manga is literally just a super hot girl lusting after chad?

Please tell me you're trolling?

>>280809904
Easy, Franky.

>>280808522
I'm like 90% sure this is going to end with Loid and Yor defecting, but it's going to be over a need to protect each other and Anya rather than just preferring to be normal people. Individuals like them don't get to just quit. Recall that for Loid, it was WISE or jail. For Yor, it's probably Garden or death.
I don't think Loid will even think about trying to leave until it gets down to his job vs his family at the very end. He's fully aware of his situation. Yor's a little more naive and her character arc has her on a path to start bucking the reins beforehand, though that's going to go badly.

>>280809904
Hemlock...

>>280809904
We should have had a super hot girl lusting over a fat balding very wealthy business man with a very large hook nose.

>>280806748
Not now, Damian.

>>280809904
Franky you're literally going to be balls deep inside Fiona once she realises she lost 100 chapters ago.

>>280811853
Pairing leftovers is super gay

>>280763314
How hot is the we both ruined our lives and got fired and have no one else now sex?

>>280763314
>they got in trouble
Who did?

>>280812248
franky is not pursuing yor

I’m not ready… I want to protect his smile so much.

>>280813029
I don't.
Haha, your mom is dead.

Do you think Loid's decision to drop everything to investigate Yor is going to be something resolved in one chapter, or do you think this is going to be the next arc?

>>280813684
OstaniaPIGS would say this.

>>280813767
I assume the next few chapters will focus on other things first. Then get to Loid.

>>280813767
I think it's going to be a while before we see this plan in action. It's going to get placed on the backburner for when the views get low or it'll be more focused on her actual background and not who she really is to avoid any feeling realizations.
Like it's too soon for Twilight to start taking notes and realizing that he's in love. I don't believe Axeman would go there so soon after Yor's reveal, but when he actually gets around to that plot line enough time will have passed for the Twilight realization to be probable.

I would be genuinely shocked if the Twilight feelings reveal comes soon and we have to deal with two idiots in denial for the rest of the manga.

>>280814714
>bond missed out on a happy puppyhood
God I hope he still has a few years left in him.

>>280813767
If he just talks to her at home, it'll be one chapter. If he follows her at work, it will be a subplot at minimum as he'll run into Hemlock.
Also this >>280814601

>>280813767
It'll be an ongoing background detail throughout the story the way Plan C was. I don't think it'll be resolved in its own dedicated arc despite Loid claiming that he's got to do that first before he can progress with his main mission. I'd be surprised if Axeman had any more immediate goals here beyond Yor realizing her feelings.

I miss Bond. I want a chapter about Bond.

>>280815017
It's way, way too early for any feelings realization on Loid's part.
If Axeman continues at his current pace of "things are actually happening" and this investigation does turn into something, I think the optimal outcome is Loid accepting that Yor is hiding something from him. She has not been subtle about this and he's been bending over backwards not to acknowledge it. I feel like him being able to just admit that to himself in conjuction with his belief that she is not a threat to his mission/the family would be a really nice bit of incremental development both for him and their relationship.
No hints on what the secret is, of course. And this doesn't really even change that much. He obviously knows she's hiding something. He's just been sticking his fingers in his ears and screaming.

>>280816321
It is odd that he's been pushed into short chapters about him being a dog despite having powers like Anya. His powers should be exploited for more variety in the story.

>>280818041
I suppose because Anya is the only one that can see what he sees. The best we can get is if the family go for a walk and he saves the day again, but we already got that with Loid.

>>280818113
I feel like it could be used to give more glimpses of characters who have little to go on. The Authens haven't done anything but tutor Anya, so just give him visions about future plot points involving them.

>>280818706
It could happen, but most of Bond's visions are too short to give us much info on other characters. They also are usually of things he himself is going to be present for.

>>280761533 (OP)
>seduces your fake wife to fall in love with you
Sasuga Twilight, the best Spy in the West.

>>280806748
Axeman drew her fat again just like he used to back when the manga was new. And before she just became an excuse to draw silly faces.
Anya is basically a simple cartoon head on a stick body at this point, and Axeman drawing her eyes properly instead of just dot eyes is a rarity now.

>>280816321
Since Bond is Anya’s dog, and we already got an episode focusing on him and Loid together, I want a chapter of Yor and Bond. Maybe they go for a walk, she confides a few things in him she never would in Yor, Yuri or Anya because she knows he can’t spill the beans, or she tries to give him a bath but everything goes wrong (in a comedic way - Yor is the one who bathes, walks and feeds him.)

I think it’d be cute. Plus Bond already thinks Yor will kill him if he makes her mad because of what Anya told him once. Some alone time with her might get him to realize she’s actually nice.

had a laugh when that coworker just immediately latched onto hemlock.
his solitude dreams are over

Fuck the mission
Fuck WISE
Fuck parenthood
I'm gonna go home and fuck my beautiful wife

>>280809904
It’s okay, Becky lusting over Loid would make anyone jealous.

>>280820225
I still think Axeman should swap Franky and Hemlock's partners. Millie feels really forced here and she already had a personal talk with Franky. And Hemlock's psycho matches Fiona's while it directly foils it, since he's driven by solitude while her motive is living in a lovey-dovey fantasy.

>>280819782
I'd like that. We've seen him spend time with everyone but her, which is ironic since, as you said, she's the one that mostly takes care of him.
There's probably not as much development potential as there was with Loid since Yor doesn't hide her feelings, but it could still be cute as a one-off.
>Some alone time with her might get him to realize she’s actually nice.
I think he's already mostly realized this as he tends to be pretty comfortable around her. He's just never going to fully get over it because Yor triggers fight-or-flight instincts in animals.

>>280821816
I wouldn't wish Millie on my worst enemy. Camilla tried to out Yor as a whore in front of an entire party of people, including her husband, and she still manages to come across as more endearing than Millie.

>>280822293
I don't trust a woman who only goes for a guy because he's hot. And apparently she does it often.

Every time someone admits their feelings they'll get a double page.
Loid realises he loves Yor? DOUBLE
Damian stops being tsun and admits he likes a commoner? DOUBLE
You get a double, and YOU get a double.

>>280782083
Martha didn't.

>>280822711
And that's a good thing!

>>280821992
>He's just never going to fully get over it because Yor triggers fight-or-flight instincts in animals.
One thing that bothered me about that though was Axeman doing back to back short missions where Bond accidentally breaks some glasses twice and he was still afraid while imagining Yor's reaction the second time even though she never got upset at the first time. It's one thing if she's there with him reacting in the moment, but Bond's imagination made it seem like a regular occurrence.

>>280822680
I'm looking forward to the uptick of art of these two like this.

What I would give for a panel of them at the dinner table and Yor subconsciously giving Loid the fuck me eyes.
Would be hilarious to see his brain short circuit.

>>280824006
Confined to fan art only at the moment. >>280782824

>>280824006
Give me a redo of this panel with her looking at his dumb face out of love, and I'll be happy.
Actually, if Axeman is smart he'll redo this page at the end of the series when it's completely real for everyone. Just like how he'll probably redo the grenade proposal when it becomes real.

>>280823539
I think Bond likes Yor and normally feels safe with her. He's just convinced/fears that she'll kill him if he ever makes her angry enough, and that he's just never pushed her that far.

>Hemlock doesn't have a phone
How does Shopkeeper contact him?

Good thread. Great arc. Probably #3 for me after cruise and Wheeler. Maybe #2. Wheeler felt a little more cohesive, but this had better payoff and lore development.

>>280824722
He doesn't have a phone in his home, but he presumably was not at home given how quickly he arrived (he apparently lives outside the city).

>>280823651
I love this picture, another anon said they hate this trope but I think it's great.
I would limit it to just meeting and talking for about five minutes however and not remembering because of that

>>280823539
>>280824533
Maybe that's some trauma from when he was an experiment?

question for the manga readers - does this every reach the highs of the cruise arc again?

>>280825840
In what way?
The mole arc was pretty good, but what do you want?

>>280825840
I don't think anything has ever touched cruise arc. Part of why that arc was so good was that it was all three of them. Since then, all long arcs have been solo arcs. However, now that everyone has had their obligatory solo arc, maybe Axeman will finally go back to having them all included.

>>280825934
Anons, why do I feel like everyone's forgetting that everything that's meant to happen between these two has to first approved by Anya?

>>280826053
Anya ships her parents, so they are allowed to make out without her telling them to.

>>280825155
Definitely firm second place for me in a toss up between this and the dog arc, both right behind cruise arc. Mole arc never did much for me due to how it got resolved and I've liked it less and less as time goes on. This arc just reaffirms how important a good ending is to elevating a decent arc.

>>280825840
Twilight's backstory was phenomenal, but it's just a single long chapter. I wouldn't call it an arc but almost no one has anything bad to say about it.

>>280825674
No, Anya straight up tells Bond that if he makes Yor angry she’ll kill him. It’s why he flees the house and goes looking for Loid in chapter 40/episode Bond’s Plan to Survive. He has a vision of his death if he eats Yor’s shitty cooking, but he also fears she’ll kill him anyway if he refuses to eat it, so he goes on the run to help Loid finish up his mission early so he can cook.

>>280826531
Yor trying to flirt could lead to so many funny situations, I hope we see it someday.

>>280826603
If she gets over some of her tism and starts trying to flirt that would make all the yumejos very happy. So I bet it'll happen eventually. Maybe sooner if some idol asks Axeman to do it.

>>280826104
I mean she read Twilight's mind so nothing and mostly disagrees but when it comes to her fear of being abandoned, she's on his side.

>>280826658
Sorry about your stroke, anon.

>>280826649
Oh yeah, I remember last year one of his favorites said she wanted to see the parents grow closer and become a real couple. She really came through.

>>280826832
Based. May she continue her good work.

>>280826832
