Plot

In order to maintain the state of peace between the rival nations of Westalis and Ostania, a Westalis agent codenamed "Twilight" is tasked with spying on Donovan Desmond, the leader of a Far Right political party within Ostania. However, due to Desmond being notoriously reclusive, the only way Twilight can get close to him is to enroll a child in the same private school as Desmond's son and pose as their father. To accomplish this, he creates the alias of Loid Forger, adopts a young orphan girl named Anya, and marries a woman named Yor Briar, to create the image of a happy family. However, Yor is in fact a professional assassin, with neither her nor Loid being aware of each other's true identities. Both of them are also unaware that Anya can read minds, and knows their true professions. Despite these unknown factors, Loid must learn to play the role of the perfect father and husband in order to carry out his mission.

Characters

Forger family
Twilight (黄昏, Tasogare) / Loid Forger (ロイド・フォージャー, Roido Fōjā)
Voiced by: Takuya Eguchi[2] (Japanese); Alex Organ[3] (English)
An unnamed spy from Westalis with extraordinary combat, memory, and information processing capabilities. Being a master of disguise, "Loid" uses various faces and names for each mission, though he is generally known by his code name, "Twilight." His most recent mission, Operation Strix, requires him to enroll a child in the prestigious Eden Academy that needs "both parents to be present." Hence, he creates a false family by adopting Anya and marrying Yor, ignorant of their true identities, and is skilled in cooking and cleaning. As "Loid Forger," he camouflaged himself as a psychiatrist at Berlint General Hospital. Formerly a war orphan, he became a spy to create a "world where children do not cry."
Thorn Princess (いばら姫, Ibara Hime) / Yor Forger (ヨル・フォージャー, Yoru Fōjā)
Voiced by: Saori Hayami[4] (Japanese); Natalie Van Sistine[3] (English)
A 27-year-old professional assassin nicknamed "Thorn Princess," disguising herself as an employee at Berlint City Hall. Yor's maiden name before marrying Loid is Briar (ブライア, Buraia). She agrees to a fake marriage without knowing Loid's true background needing a cover identity for her assassinations and believes that Anya is Loid's actual daughter from a previous marriage. She speaks in a formal speech, even to her assassination target. Yor is good at cleaning due to the nature of her work, but not with the other household chores, particularly cooking, resulting in Loid doing most of the cooking; though she has a coworker mentoring her in cooking. She has a younger brother named Yuri, a civil servant, who is a bit too attached to her and whom Yor is unaware is actually in the Secret Police.
Anya Forger (アーニャ・フォージャー, Ānya Fōjā)
Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki[4] (Japanese); Megan Shipman[3] (English)
A young girl who can read minds, Anya is the only one who knows the overall situation of her family, but conceals her true nature for fear of abandonment. She appears to be around age four or five but claims to be six as Loid needed to adopt a six-year-old as part of his mission. Originally an experimental human test subject dubbed "Subject 007" (被検体007), she escaped because she was frustrated with a life where she could not behave like a child. She named herself "Anya" and had been adopted by several families only to be returned to the orphanage each time. Due to her ability, Anya is not good with crowds, and because Anya has not received a proper education, she is not good at studying and makes up for it by reading other peoples' minds for answers. However, she cannot use her psionic ability during a new moon. Her favorite food is peanuts, likes the spy-themed cartoon Spywars, and thinks anything involving "secrets" and "missions" are exciting.
Bond Forger (ボンド・フォージャー, Bondo Fōjā)
The family's pet Great Pyrenees, Bond was originally Project Apple's canine test subject named "Subject 8" (8号, lit. "Number 8"). He can glimpse the future, which is known and utilized only by Anya through her telepathy. He meets Anya and the Forger family when used in a terrorist bomb attack and then adopted into the Forgers. He dreads Yor's cooking after his future sight once showed him that it could kill him, and goes to great lengths to avoid that. He was named after Anya's favorite cartoon character in Spy Wars, Bondman.

Eden Academy
Damian Desmond (ダミアン・デズモンド, Damian Dezumondo)
A cheeky classmate of Anya whose father is someone with overwhelming authority, but he works hard to gain his father's attention and approval. He is frequently hostile toward Anya but has gradually developed feelings for her as a result of various misunderstandings during their encounters. He has an over-achiever older brother named Demetrius Desmond (ディミトリアス・デズモンド, Dimitoriasu Dezumondo) and a dog named Max. He stays in the dormitories at school with his two closest friends, Emile (エミール, Emīru) and Ewen (ユーイン, Yūin).
Becky Blackbell (ベッキー・ブラックベル, Bekkī Burakkuberu)
Anya's best friend at school. Her father is a major military manufacturer. After Anya's altercation with Damian on the first day of school, Becky becomes Anya's friend. She has been treating her with great care, although every other classmate has shunned both of them. She also has a crush on Anya's father.
Henry Henderson (ヘンリー・ヘンダーソン, Henrī Hendāson)
Voiced by: Kazuhiro Yamaji[5]
A 65-year-old history teacher at Eden Academy. He used to hold a high position in the Academy but was demoted to teaching elementary students after attacking a fellow high-ranking teacher in defense of the Forger family. He is also the homeroom teacher of Anya and her friends and the housemaster of dormitory 3, Cecil Hall where Damian and his friends reside. He emphasizes on "elegance" and hold his students and himself to a high standard.

Others
Yuri Briar (ユーリ・ブライア, Yūri Buriaru)
Voiced by: Kensho Ono[6]
Yor's 20-year-old younger brother. Ostensibly an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is cover for his actual position as a lieutenant of the State Security Service - where he is tasked with hunting down "Twilight" and other rebellious, terrorist, and overseas intelligence groups. He is a bit too attached to his sister, opposing Yor and Loid's marriage while knowing neither Yor's actual assassin job nor Loid's true identity. Both Loid and Anya know about his actual occupation as secret police while Yor remains oblivious.
Franky Franklin (フランキー・フランクリン, Furankī Furankurin)
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino[5] (Japanese); Anthony Bowling[3] (English)
An informant who provides information to Twilight and appears to be a personal friend of the spy. He frequently acts as a babysitter for Anya. He works as a tobacconist during the day and an inventor in his free time. He is notably hopeless in his romantic pursuits. Anya calls him Scruffy (モジャモジャ, Moja-moja, lit. unkempt, shaggy) and he seems to be fond of that name, using it as his alias in his informant jobs.
Sylvia Sherwood (シルヴィア・シャーウッド, Shiruvia Shāuddo)
Voiced by: Yūko Kaida[5]
Twilight's handler or contact at the Westalian spy agency WISE, who gives him most of his missions and oversees Operation Strix. She works as an attaché and secretary in the embassy as a front for her intelligence act. She is called "Fullmetal Lady" by her agents due to her exceptional abilities and personality. She once had a young daughter, but what happened to her is unknown.
Nightfall (夜帷, Tobari) / Fiona Frost (フィオナ・フロスト, Fiona Furosuto)
An intelligence agent code-named "Nightfall." Twilight's espionage partner and coworker at Berlint General Hospital, where she works as an undercover clerk. While she appears to be emotionless, she harbors strong feelings for Twilight and believes Yor is unworthy of him. Only Anya is aware of Nightfall's true nature and is wary of her.
Shopkeeper (店長, Tenchō)
Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe[6] (Japanese); Jim Foranda[7] (English)
The leader of the Garden, the assassin group where Yor is currently employed. The Shopkeeper contacts and provides Yor with photos of the target, as well as information about their capabilities and defenses. The targets are usually deemed to be traitors to the nation of Ostania or those who seek to disturb the current peace.
Donovan Desmond (ドノバン・デズモンド, Donoban Dezumondo)
The President of the National Unity Party of Ostania and the primary target of Operation Strix. He is the father of Demetrius and Damian. He rarely appears in the public and always stays in the shadow of his own operations. His only appearance is at an annual party held for the Eden Academy's Imperial Scholars, which his son Demetrius is a part of. He emphasizes heavily toward achievements and emotionally neglects his children.

Production

Tatsuya Endo and his editor Shihei Lin have known each other for over ten years; Lin was his initial editor on his first serial Tista (2007).[8] When Lin was moved from the Jump Square editorial department to Shōnen Jump+, Endo happily followed, and they began developing new work. Spy × Family takes elements from three of Endo's Jump Square one-shots; "Rengoku no Ashe," "Ishi ni Usubeni, Tetsu ni Hoshi" and "I Spy," Lin said that its reception among the editorial department was so good that serialization was practically decided before the official meeting was even held.[8]

The initial draft was given a working title of Spy Family written in Japanese. When deciding the final name, Endo came up with over 100 options, but they ultimately decided to use the same title but in English and with a "cross" in between, the latter influenced by Hunter × Hunter.[8] Lin said that he and Endo are always conscious of the line where violence, a necessary aspect in a spy manga, is given a pass for comedy's sake. With Tista and Gekka Bijin both having a dark tone, the editor told Endo to give Spy × Family a more cheerful one. Anya was inspired by the main character of "Rengoku no Ashe." Her extrasensory perception was decided early on, and Lin cited its use for comedic effect as one of the series' strengths. Lin said that the series has a broad readership among all ages and genders. He also cited Endo's clean art and ability to convey emotions as part of the manga's appeal.[8]

Lin feels that the world and characters were firmly established as of volume two. As such, he revealed that he and Endo would start to include longer narratives in the series.[8]

Reception

In December 2019, Brutus magazine included the series on their "Most Dangerous Manga" list, which included works with the most "stimulating" and thought-provoking themes.[34] Later that same month, Polygon included it on a list of the best comics of 2019.[35] The 2020 edition of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook named Spy × Family the best manga series for male readers.[36] It came in first on Honya Club's Nationwide Bookstore Employees' Recommended Comics of 2020 list, compiled by surveying 1,100 professional bookstore employees in Japan.[37] It was named as the "No. 1 Popular Web Comic of 2019," the "No. 1 Popular Shonen Jump+ Work," and a "Signature Work of Jump+".[38]

Sales

Spy × Family was the ninth best selling manga in 2020, with over 4.5 million copies sold.[39] It was the eighth best-selling manga in 2021, with over 4.9 million copies sold.[40]

Spy × Family had 800,000 copies in circulation, including digital and physical sales, upon release of its second volume. This number exceeded 2 million with the release of volume three, and 3 million in circulation by volume four.[41] According to Oricon, volumes three and four of the series were some of the top 30 best-selling manga of 2020.[42] Volume six received an initial print run of over 1 million copies, a first for a Shōnen Jump+ series.

Critical response

In a positive review of the first 11 chapters, Antonio Mireles of The Fandom Post summed up Spy × Family as a great comedy about a dysfunctional family put into uncanny situations that never pan out as planned due to their unique personalities. He described the family setup of Loid as the straight man, Yor the "dumb character" and Anya the adorable child "that readers fall in love with," as the perfect recipe for a comedy. However, he felt the humor that comes from Yor being the dumb character was underutilized.[52] Comic Book Resources' Hannah Collins hailed the first volume as one of the best manga releases of 2020. She had strong praise for Endo's art; writing that "Action-comedy is no mean feat even in animated or live-action mediums. To pull it off so well in still images takes real artistic talent." The reviewer called the artist's range of facial expressions his secret weapon, which he deploys to win over the hearts and minds of readers; particularity with those of Anya, whom Collins said, "steals every page she appears on."[53]

Morgana Santilli of The Beat stated that Spy × Family volume one does an excellent job balancing fun espionage action with heartwarming family moments. She called Endo's art "clean and appealing," which makes his parody of post-war Berlin easily recognizable. Santilli compared its comedy to that of From Eroica with Love, another Cold War-centric series.[54] In a review for Polygon, Julia Lee stated that Endo takes a premise that could make a "typical, corny, action manga" and uses it to make one of the funniest series out right now. Like the other reviewers, Lee praised Endo's art, writing that he has a knack for action scenes, as well as "expressive panels that really show you how the characters are feeling."[55]
