Summary of translations of the Spy x Family EYES ONLY fanbook. Character comments by Tatsuya Endo
Damian
Damian's character is inspired by the manga "Hana Yori Dango" (also known as "Boys Over Flowers") by Yoko Kamio, specifically Tsukasa Domyouji.
He was originally a nasty guy who bragged about his status, but soon became a nice guy.
Endo originally wanted him to be a nastier character.
Lin says that Damian and his lackeys are true friends and that Damian's whole story to come should be done with care
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't know if many know this, but it's known that Tatsuya Endo is a fan of the shoujo genre. And the fact that he based it on a Yoko Kamio's character excites me *doki doki*
Tsukasa and Damian already have a lot in common for example:
They are both haughty.
They both brag about their social status
They like to make fun of others
They have a personality uhm…. complicated?
They are never with their family ( one of the main reasons why they are both like that )
And the most important of all… ¡They are in love with unique girls, they received the fist of love!

But here's something that catches my attention, Tatsuya Endo said that the coming story for Damian should be done very carefully. That means that Damian's character is really going to influence the story a lot. And guess who else he will influence? That's Anya. I don't want to rush to say too much but the way things are going in the manga Damian and Anya's relationship is really moving forward. Damian is willing to protect Anya from danger. And that has been shown many times in the manga. Even though he often says that Anya is very annoying and more unpleasant things, he really appreciates her a lot and cares about her. And I don't know if you have seen the anime/manga of Hana Yori Dango, well, the real villain of the anime is Tsukasa's mother, once Makino and him start a relationship, doumyouji's mother does everything to separate them. I don't know if Endo has something similar in mind for Damian and Anya's story but it's going to be interesting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, I don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm 90% sure that Damian and Anya will be together in the end and I'll tell you why? Because they complement each other too much and for example Damian is very serious and mature for a boy of his age, Anya is very immature and is not serious at all (but well she is only 4 years old) But what I mean is that Damian has that seriousness that she lacks, and Anya has that joy and spontaneity that he lacks. Anya has influenced Damian a lot and in a way changed him, the same thing happened with Tsukasa, he met Makino a girl totally different from the ones he knew and she changed him. Damian appreciates Anya a lot but she appreciates Damian? At first she thought he was an annoying brat and to some extent she still thinks the same, but Makino also had that thought of Doumyouji but as she got to know him those thoughts changed and in the end she ended up falling in love with Doumyouji. Probably something like this will happen with Damian and Anya, she will get to know Damian and little by little she will start to love him the same way he does. But for this I think there has to be a time skip. So we can only wait for the evolution of one of the most popular spy x fmily couples. ♡

wow i'm just looking at roy's thought process in the lead up to this call:
Tumblr media
he's just gotten a ridiculous amount of flowers from the armstrong intelligence agent and he needs to do something with them, and his mind immediately goes "give them to riza".
like, bradley JUST called this man's ass out for wearing his heart on his sleeve and yet he just. keeps simping.
(you know what that is folks? king shit.)
(maybe he thought since he's not her boss right now he could get away with it. high key obsessed by that manga panel in the 'selim b is homunculus' convo where roy asks her out and riza shoots him down not having a CLUE that's what he's doing:
Tumblr media
man's REALLY trying to shoot his shot pray for him y'all.)
and not only does roy decide to give her the flowers he decides to start off the call doing a goofy little bit.
like, my precious subordinate must be super stressed working under wrath! i know, i'll bring her some flowers and also use them as an excuse to check in on her and i'll ALSO honk my clown nose to get her to laugh or roll her eyes fondly at me! yes boyfriend of the year right here
i repeat, roy knows riza's going through a tough time and his game plan is to bring her flowers and try and make her laugh.
i'm frankly amazed these two weren't written up for fraternization before this. only the bad guys ever bring it up and no-one else ever calls them out on it in-universe but these two are NOT subtle.

I don't like posting negative opinions about the kdrama here because honestly this version gets way too much hate out there and I really like it.
But if were to make one complaint about it is that the main couple needed more screentime (and jihoo needed less, or at least less with jandi).
Yeah it was 2009 and love triangles were all the rage + jihoo's actor was more popular but it was like they couldn't write one scene of the main couple without jihoo jumping in or getting mentioned somehow. Especially in the second half of the drama.
And don't get me wrong, I love jihoo, but sometimes this makes him look like an obsessed asshole, which I don't think was the goal of the writers. Like when Jandi or Junpyo are in danger or clearly having a moment and Jihoo decides this is the ideal time to pine over her or try to win her over, like, Sir, this is a Wendy's.
And sometimes it ends up eating the other characters' screentimes too. I just rewatched ep 22 and Woobin gets a scene for himself after God knows how long and im happy bc he got lines and then HE STARTS TALKING ABOUT JIHOO like I didn't just have to sit through five minutes of a Jihoo and Jandi scene. At a certain point it feels like the only non Jihoo related plotline is Yijung's (is this why some people like yijung and gaeul more?). And Jihoo isn't even the main character 😭
Meanwhile I'm just like... Can I please get a scene of Junpyo and Jandi? Can I please get a scene of Jandi, the main character, without him? Can I see more of the actual male lead? Can I see more than 3 minutes of Yijung at a time? Can I please see any other character get mentioned?

Some Romantic Killer parallels to the OG of problematic shoujo manga, Boys Over Flowers. Which I still love. 🫣🙃
I especially love Romantic Killer BECAUSE it pokes fun at typical shoujo tropes. It’s so refreshing and hilarious to a shoujo lover like me.
Hijiri Kogaeni (Domyoji Tsukasa) trying to buy Anzu’s (Makino Tsukushi) affection with his rich boy money. But of course, you can’t buy their love.

Tbh this show isn't really one I'd usually watch because gmmtv generally does not do class very well errr more like when one is rich and the other is poor.
Regardless I like Chimon. I want him to succeed. I don't watch everything he's in but idk I just think he's neat lol
Perth I just love hehe How can I not love the guy whos played the only short top character in live action BL lol Maybe there's been another? if so I'd like to know! But we still need more! I'm Sooooooooo BORED of the height difference trope that is always the same. Like Short bottom? Tall top? groundbreaking….
Anyway just watched the first 2 eps and it's giving real boys over flowers vibes. Is this showing how ancient I am? totally lol Now that's not a knock on it because, well I don't really remember how most of the shows depicted it because I never really watched them since NONE of them have ever cast a girl that I've been like yeah That's Makino Tsukushi, but the manga reallyyy went there depicting how bad school hazing was. But there were still small moments of levity? Especially when the main girl would get the upper hand? Basically what's happening here!
Grandma?? ughh I Want to like her, but I'm so over the obligatory good rich person~ because you see they're not All monsters~!! Even tho your family is probably responsible for high costs of living since your son is a real estate mogul? But how sweet you fund 1 scholarship bleh
Why do I feel like the father is doing shady stuff and that's why he doesn't want his son to stand out? If Kang isn't special less eyes on his family all around…but I could be wrong. Idk I just read his reaction at the suggestion of his son becoming school president as like hell no, we already got enough eyes on us as it is. Or he just doesn't see his son as a worthy successor lol
I do like the 2 different depictions of people in poverty between the brothers. Some people are a bit more laid back like Saifah (almost like Tsukushis dad!! lol). What's a little luxury gonna do? Not like the money would've actually helped in the long run, etc. I do think that Sailom might be a bit too noble?? It's just there's no way someone in poverty would realistically risk losing their scholarship just for pride. This is pretty common in thai bls tho. Gets under my skin honestly lol the ''noble'' poor person. It's just such empty messaging to poor people bcz we know the rich got their money but WE have to be honest?? go away
Oh oh!!! Clothessss!!! This is what I was talking about when I was complaining about Be My Favorite! I didn't want krist to be covered in dirt and rags to convey he was poor but just to have clothes like how Sailom and his friends have! Clean but clearly faded from so many washes. Sailom's house is great too! It really conveys how they're living. I feel heard!!! lol
Anyway I'll keep watching and see how much I can take of the future bad depictions of lower class people lol Honestly these past 2 episodes weren't bad. I only had minor complaints about some of Sailoms decision.

I was looking for a cute F4 & Tsukushi manga panel so I could paint them on glass but... I ended up editing 😎 I think the F4Thailand visuals are beautiful and wanted to see something similar with its manga, it was stressful but I don't regret, each minute spent was worth it 😎✨️
So happy with the final result.
