Spy x Family: Yor Forger as the Thorn Princess under the fireworks

A city hall clerk by day, a contract killer by night, and the most nervous new wife in Berlint.

Spy x Family is a comedy about a fake family, and we think its secret weapon is Yor Forger, the only assassin in anime more scared of office gossip than of a target.

Who she is - A clerk with a second job

Yor works at Berlint City Hall. At night she is an assassin known as Thorn Princess, and nobody at the office suspects a thing.

Her trouble is not the night job. Her colleagues whisper that she is still single, and in a country that watches everyone, a single woman draws attention.

Why she works - A marriage of convenience on both sides

SPY x FAMILY: a marriage of convenience on both sides

In episode 2 she meets Loid Forger, a spy who needs a wife as badly as she needs a husband. Neither tells the other the truth, and that is the whole joke.

Wit Studio and CloverWorks give her fights real weight, then cut straight back to her worrying about being a good enough mother to Anya.

The verdict - The heart of the Forger home

SPY x FAMILY: the heart of the forger home

Yor is deadly, polite and hopeless at small talk, and the show never laughs at her for caring too much. That is why she lands.

Start with episode 2 for her first evening out with Loid. One evening with her and you will be on her side.
