Spy x Family Volume 15 by Tatsuya Endo
After an extensive and sober backstory about Eden Academy Headmaster Henry and Martha Marriott (a sort of nanny to Anya's best friend at school) and their doomed young love decades earlier, the story gets back to comedy and character bits with several short stories about specific characters. My favorite is a charming one about Frankie, the weapons/tech guy for super-spy Loid. Frankie has only bad luck with women until he gets some movie tickets that one of his possible amours really wants to see. The story ends up a bit like Henry and Martha's, but not so extensive or sobering. In another tale, almost all the kids from the Academy show up at a city festival, leading to more comedy and hijinks.
This is another fun volume and worth the read, even if the larger story only moves forward half a pace.
Recommended.
