Since its anime adaptation was released in 2022, Tatsuya Endo’s Spy x Family quickly became one of the world’s most popular anime and manga series. With a fun mix of spy hijinks, comedy, and slice-of-life moments, this story accompanies Agent Twilight — also known as Loid Forger — as he attempts to follow through with Operation Strix, a secret mission with the fate of two countries at stake. In order to accomplish his goal, Loid creates a make-believe family with an orphaned esper, Anya, and a secret assassin, Yor.
Spy x Family‘s popularity seems far from slowing down, and it’s even considered one of the best anime releases of 2022. As tends to happen with adaptations, the series’ manga also had a huge spike in sales. Spy x Family rose up the list of the best-selling manga of all time, with over 29 million copies in circulation, surpassing other popular series like Chainsaw Man, Blue Lock, Blue Exorcist, and Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
Thus far, 75 manga chapters of Spy x Family have been released, and out of those, 66 have been compiled into 10 volumes. Those who only recently become familiar with the series and would like to dive headfirst into its source material can rest assured; there’s no need to fly all the way to Japan to get your hands on a copy of Spy x Family. Thanks to a huge demand, the manga’s chapters have been translated into English, and are available to read online.
