Spy x Family

## Spy x Family *Spy x Family* by Tatsuya Endo is one of the most beloved manga of the 2020s — a masterclass in comic timing and character warmth that uses the premise of a fake family to explore what makes real family bonds. Loid Forger is Westalis's best spy, operating under the codename "Twilight." His latest mission — Operation Strix — requires him to build a fake family, enroll a child in the elite Eden Academy to get close to political target Donovan Desmond, and avoid blowing his cover. The child he adopts, Anya, is secretly a telepath who can read minds. The woman he enters a fake marriage with, Yor, is secretly an assassin. None of them know each other's secrets. Anya — who can read both Loid's spy thoughts and Yor's killer instincts — is thrilled by the adventure and desperate to keep the family together. The manga's genius is its constant layering of comedic misunderstanding with genuine emotional resonance: Loid slowly realizing he cares about his fake family, Yor discovering what it means to protect someone for reasons other than money, and Anya using all her power to keep them from falling apart. Serialized in Shonen Jump+ since 2019; adapted by WIT Studio and CloverWorks into a hit anime (2022-2024).
