At first glance, Crunchyroll has created a stir. Tadaima, OkaeriOne of the many LGBTQ+ anime in 2024, it seems to be out of step with fans Spy x FamilySpy x Family is nominally a gritty action series about the exploits of three unrelated spies who are supposed to be a family. In fact, much of its appeal comes from depicts the family dynamics and efforts of Loid, Yor, and Anya Forger to build a normal, supportive family..
Spy x Family uses deception as the film's tough exterior gives way to the everyday life and mundane things of the Forger family like Yor's nosy brother.
Tadaima, Okaeri is a straightforward BL series that has no problem implementing genre themes. The BL premise may turn some people off, but those with an open mind will find it scratches the itch just like Spy x Family. Tadaima, Okaeri is notable for being a standard depiction of a same-sex couple trying to raise a child (and then children). The series has an irresistible appeal, perfectly reflecting the family dynamics that fans eagerly awaiting the third season of Spy x Family are craving.

External challenges threaten both the Forger family and Fujiyoshi.
Tadaima, Okaeri is a series that uses familiar BL tropes to depict a loving family with real challenges. The series is based on what BL fans call the Omegaverse, where relationships and attraction arises from dominance hierarchies rather than gender preferences. Tadaima, Okaeri has three types of people:
Alphapregnant Omegapeople who can conceive (regardless of sex or gender) Beta versionmake up the majority of the population and adhere to gender normative expectations regarding conception.
In this world, alpha-omega relationships are stigmatized and People tend to hang out with people of their own kind.. The main characters, Masaki and Hiromu Fujiyoshi, try to live a normal life and raise their son Hikari in the face of social barriers and discrimination. Some elements ring true to the real-world struggles of the LGBTQ+ community, while the more unrealistic elements that underpin the series still provide food for thought.
The main appeal of Spy x Family is watching as, amidst the grand setup, family devotion begins to emerge. The mutual care between the Forgers provides some of the series' best moments. While Tadaima, Okaeri doesn't have the same air of overcoming familial pretense, itemotional sharing takes precedence over external circumstances.
Like Anya, Hikari is cunning and foolish.
Spy x Family and Tadaima, Okaeri both depict children thoughtfully
There's no denying that the warmest and funniest part of Spy x Family is Anya, the adorable kid who always seems to be up to something. Anya shares space with Hikari in the recent wave of smartly written yet lovable characters who are often, but not always, children. Their youth isn't ruined, but they're both constantly defending themselves and their families. Their naive worldview and principled defiance provide endless laughter.. If Hikari wasn't so skillfully built that he could stand on his own, he would be a perfect copy of Anya.
Vague descriptions only go so far. To describe a scene that clearly reminds of Spy x Family: Hikari is given a responsibility after his younger brother, Hinata, is born and is asked to deliver a letter. As he leaves, he repeatedly turns around, waves, and shouts “bye!” before finally making his way out the gate—only to be pulled back by a neighbor. It’s a small moment, but it shows gentle heart at the core of Spy x FamilyThis makes it relatable and contagious from the get-go, which is undeniably in Tadaima, Okaeri.
