False alarm to raise our false hope

 

[zepanman]

Naaaaah, now I feel sad that he got married

 

[HunterCO]

I love how this manga will be goofy or chill most chapters then it just slaps you with a crushing backstory

 

[honeycapri]

noooooooooo

 

[Key_news]

I see this is the turning point for both of them in which they under go their own life.

This is up there with Fullmetal Alchemist in capturing the emotional toll of war, and the ugly nature of it which is so often couched in language of honor, valor, and glory. War just makes a mess of people. Too often literally, but psychologically as well.

Riza Hawkeye is still one of my favorite soldier characters - because of the horror she endured, and how she learned to move forward. I get similar vibes from Martha, which is a very good thing.

 

[Wildfire]

Martha saved by an enemy civilian?
This is going to be interesting.

The whole setup of this story is to avoid war (again). Makes sense there's crushing backstory like this

Anyways, p good background, thought Henderson was a snob in his intro but I've grown to appreciate him since.

In the context of the grand story, it is actually quite smart to use these two backstories to break down the war as it occured and how Desmond really thinks as he is the main objective in the story. The author did a great job of weaving that into a love story between these two. ELEGANT LOVE NEEDS TO SURVIVE.

I appreciate the series' anti-war message, but sometimes less is more. Wallowing this long in melodrama, especially about seemingly random secondary characters is not doing the manga any favors. I think I'll come back when this arc is over, so I can read it all in one sitting.

The way the tone of her letters change as she faces the brutal reality of the frontlines is heartbreaking.

 

[Manu_2006]

War is such bullshit it ain't ending anytime soon with people picking sides instead of protesting for peace

 

[ichypa]

"A world without war is impossible because we can never know each other's true intentions."

...I feel like this is why we got the project that resulted in Anya.

 

[mekrabbat]

Jeez, the years have really done a number on Donovan Desmond.

 

[Sky_Ravager]

Fuck. This backstory is fucking good.

 

[Xkaumusic]

I think this is the type of story author wanted to write from the beggining, crushing and sad.

 

[radstylix]

And some people were complaining about this arc. Let the author cook.

This arc is the most I've enjoyed Spy Family in a long while.

I'm wondering about the timing of this melancholic tale. Is it to build up the stakes for the cold war? Are we about to enter a huge arc after this?
