Spy x Family begins a new arc with the first part of chapter 112.
This chapter of Spy x Family is divided into multiple segments, with the second part set to be released on March 2. A key plot point in this new chapter revolves around the friendship development between Anya and Damian. Loid is currently relying on the hope that Anya will become close friends with Damian Desmond so that he can continue his mission to meet Donovan, the primary target of Operation Strix.
Since Donovan is a high-profile target, Loid had hoped to nurture a genius child to enroll in Eden Academy. If Anya were to succeed in becoming “the academy’s princess,” Loid would have a better chance of infiltrating Donovan’s social circle.
With the initial plan having failed, he hopes Anya can form a friendship with Damian. The Term Break arc highlights the emotional turmoil of Melinda Desmond, who is struggling with her feelings caused by Donovan. Melinda understands that Donovan has the ability to manipulate people’s perceptions, which makes her feel vulnerable, even believing that her husband might be an extraterrestrial.
Many questions about Donovan remain unanswered. While the fandom grapples with the main characters of the manga, the latest arc introduces the opportunity for Anya to enhance her relationship with Damian.
The new semester at Eden Academy brings Anya closer to Damian
As the new semester begins, Anya and her classmates must adapt to the new arrangements of the academy. The classes are divided by scores. Anya worries that the pairing system will leave her behind. However, this rule only applies to specific subjects, and she can join classes with other students if those subjects are not tested. Furthermore, despite Damian being an outstanding student, he does not perform well in language subjects.
As a result, Damian and Anya end up sitting next to each other. Although they had been in the same class before, they had always maintained distance. While Anya feels anxious because her plan to befriend him has failed, she is unaware that she has a better opportunity to gain Damian’s affection. Despite her psychic abilities, Anya often misinterprets Damian’s true feelings toward her. This is because she is not truthful with herself, leading to many misunderstandings.
Consequently, Anya believes that her plan to make friends with him is not progressing. She doesn’t realize that the shy boy is too timid to talk to her. Anya has the chance to use this new opportunity, but whether she will succeed depends on her efforts.
While she is focused on keeping her own plan safe, this chapter also introduces a new character who may play a significant role in the ongoing story. In class, everyone is introduced to Tertius, the third prince of Septavia, a neighboring kingdom. This marks the first time the narrative hints at exploring other nations outside of Westalis and Ostania. As the story delves deeper into the geopolitical landscape, we may see developments in the friendship plot and learn more about Donovan.
