I don't think this story will live up to it's full potential...The romance parts are great, the friendships are great, the comedy is great and the family bonding is wonderful, but it seems like the author is completely disinterested in exploring nuances of the setting. Like if you actually think about the plot for a second your brain will start to hurt.

The main dogma of this manga is that peace is good and worth preserving. Is mangago user Abel☆Lied about to tell you that peace isn't good? No, of course not, but I think we can agree that this chapter is a little weird right?? That the fact that the author portrays any dissent against the government as stupid and malicious is weird right??

Why ARE these characters always portrayed this way here?? Like their issues and problems with the country are moronic? If Twilight and Yuri held these beliefs, it'd be good storytelling, but the narrative continues to treat them as these evil idiots, even though it's obvious that there's tons of these people.

Literally nobody asked the author to make one of the main reoccurring characters a gestapo member, I don't know why they wrote it that way, if they weren't willing to deal with the implications of it. The implications of the country our protagonist is protecting having a secret police. Was the problem with the cold war that USSR's citizens just were too dissident??

    Yeah, that really bothered me too. I liked the story about the female soldier, but this really threw me off. I honestly hoped that it was like how Yuris perspective of these characters looked like, but it was stupid to have hope ig.

    I knew the author wanted to write darker stuff but he's right there. We're hooked in. Maybe not start killing off everybody but the stage is there. It's the cold war era and they will have to explain it to Anya sooner or later. If we can have whole chapters without her there, he can start writing the edgier stuff. Then, we cut back to her for fluff. I hope his editors aren't holding back from that.

    It's been said over and over but Avatar the Last Airbender did this. It's a delicate balance but the war was always there in the background. SpyxFamily has the setup. It just needs proper follow through. It was built this way.

    Hmm, I'd agree with you and in fact I'd think this was a great thing, but the fact is that the darker topics are already there. My issue isn't that the author refuses to depict it, in fact I think it'd be kind of interesting to see the atmosphere slowly creep in on the family life, without any explicit violence. My issue is, that it is depicted, but extremely poorly. There are revolutionaries and there is a secret police, but these things are depicted in a childish, uninteresting and rather cruel, if you compare it to what this setting is based off of.

    I'm not dropping this or anything, but I just don't believe that the author wants or is capable of doing something interesting with this part of the setting. It seems the main plot is going to be centered on mind-reading and Damian's family, which is also interesting, but just not really exploring the themes it could've.

Was it ever made clear how his mother died?

    No but it's assumed she was sick.

    I see, thank you! I also think that that explanation makes the most sense.

Please recommend works that made you cry, but have a happy ending. Ideally lots of emotional hurt towards the mc. Idc about the genders, but I'd like to be able to finish it or at least finish an arc that'd make me cry tonight. I need to sob my heart out, menstruation is coming aaaaaghhhhhhuhghhhh

Abel✯lied February 6, 2025 8:24 pm

Please give me the whumpest most angstiest romance (idc about the genders) you can think of. I want the main character to suffer, but I want them to get their happy ending. I don't really like it, when the protagonist is a bad person. Finished is the best, but I don't mind uncompleted works. I just need to project the bad feels on a character, that gets to solve them tonight AAAAHHHHHHHHH
