Chapter 76 recap

Spy x Family chapter 76 began with Starlight Anya celebrating her return over breakfast with Loid and Yor Forger in their apartment. Loid expressed concern that Anya was traumatized over the events of the Red Circus arc. However, these concerns were quickly quelled by Anya’s boisterous behavior on the way to school.

Anya then asked Loid if the families who came to pick up their kids loved them more, thinking of Damian. However, Loid mistook this as commentary on his absence, which Anya abused to leverage an after-school cake from her father.

Damian Desmond was then seen arriving at school, thinking back to the night before when he ate a meal cooked by his mother without her present.

Anya and Damian then did their typical young-love bit, with cameos from other named and unnamed students present. No dialogue or events of any particular consequence were present except for the apparent deepening of the pair’s love for one another. What was also of significant note was the final panel of the chapter, which saw the narrator equate the two as “good friends.”

What to expect (speculative)

Unfortunately, it’s somewhat difficult to say exactly what fans can expect from Spy x Family chapter 77. This is due to Tatsuya Endo’s habit of spacing out major arcs with one-to-two-chapter stories in the meantime. As such, with the upcoming issue being in-between major arcs, fans could be in for truly anything.

If a new arc is set to begin, fans can count on this upcoming storyline focusing on either Loid or Yor Forger, with the former more likely than the latter. What is almost certain is that Anya will not be getting an exclusive focus in whatever arc is next, given the Red Circus arc revolves almost entirely around her throughout its eight-chapter run.

If Spy x Family chapter 77 foregoes beginning a new arc, this will likely be to further cement the friendship of Anya and Damian. After a few chapters of this, fans may even see an arc begin that sees Yor Forger and Melinda Desmond grow closer, likely via the newfound friendship of their respective children.
