Spy X Family

It's so silly and full of gag moments. A light hearted and cute read!

This is the story of a spy pretending to live a normal life: it's not a serious tragedy, it definitively falls under the comedy genre but at the same time it has many serious aspects that make it very interesting.

First of all, the characters are all very likeable and their family life is the main reason why this manga is so attractive. It's cute, it's funny and it keeps you concerned about the fate of our protagonists, although as of now I feel like the wife is getting much less screen time than the father and daughter.

It has a nice touch of humaneness in it, using a protagonist that appears insensible at first but all of his actions are very kind, and his motives are understandable. Why he does his job, why he's that way… all of it makes sense, ultimately, and his aim for peace is very credible.

But adding to this slice of life / comedy aspect, the novel is set in a replica of the Western Bloc of Germany during the cold war, and I believe the author did an extremely nice job in this case. He's not trying to show an ideal world of happiness, but he's not painting a world of horror either, I think he got the atmosphere right and you find a perfect setting for spies and conspiracies, with a neutral depiction of an autocracy. Didn't people ultimately live, at those times too?

It's nice to see that the author is also willing to break a few taboos, such as people dying or main characters killing. There's no sweetener about that, the people we follow here might do cruel things and there'll be neither justification nor condemning.

*"I’m just waiting for when everyone’s secrets to come out seeing how the manga always reminds you that people have sides to them that they don’t show

Ania/Anya is a gem and all she wants is a real family to belong to seeing how it seems that she had it rough as a child. I wanna see more of Lloyd/loid and yoru/yor and I just want them to fall in love already and become a real family. All in all it’s a Greta read and I just can’t wait for the next chapter to come through"*

i just saw some pics of it in twitter then hooked up with the art, after reading hooked up with characters and plot as well. The little girl is just too cute. Adventure comedy and cuteness in one, definitely a winner ~~

Came looking for copper, found gold.

I'm at chapter 12 right now and I can't stop. It is absolutely foolishly and ridiculously crazy good! It packs all that I love too! (Refer to comment subject, with a tiny bit of romance.)

It's well-made plot-wise and all 3 protagonists are thoroughly enjoyable. I like Lloyd and Yor's moments. Yet, Anya truly shines and steals all the spotlights as far as she's in it. She is extremely adorable and cute and fluffy and mature and childish at the same time.

Ah, I think I should take a little break for more chapters to compile before diving back in. This is just so good! I just love family, action, comedy works.

Almost forgot, because it's a lot of comedy, it's not too much or too deep to delve into the thinking. It might. But as far as I'm concerned, all are good! So take it away guys! Read the hell out of it!

[UPDATE 2022] Bond the giant skinny dog! Chant with me guys: "Bond! Bond! Bond! Bond!" Oh my, oh my, this manga is one of the rare titles that I consistently read, patiently wait, and actively seek out for in the past few years. Author-san understands emotions (and humours) sooo well! Even though things might seem light and simple, they hit home hard! Banzai!

I liked this so much.... i want moooore

Yor x Lottie scenes are not enough. Want more of their moment!

loving this manga lol. that all i can say. it gold.

Spy x Family is a great addition to the slice of life genre, adding humor to help lighten the story at just the right moments. The best part is the daughter, she is super cute and often how the humor is added. Highly recommended, even with only 9 chapters.

Recently stumbled onto this manga, and I'm already in love! The humor is great, the three main characters have such great chemistry together, and I'm a huge fan of horrible web of lies tropes, so this is definitely staying on my keep reading list.

The premise of the story is refreshing, and the characters are interesting. The art style is clean and easy on the eyes. It's humorous and light-hearted, despite the potentially heavy topics involved (e.g. wars, political intrigue, murder, etc). Only five chapters in, so I'm not sure if it will take a turn for the dramatic later on. For now, it feels like slice-of-life with a dash of action and adventure.

It's about spies and there's a lot of fighting and undercover missions and all that good stuff, but those are all used to create an adorable story about a family. At first, each of them are trying to meet their own goals by becoming a "fake" family. But along the way, it's looking like they will come to truly care for each other and become a "real" family.

The daughter Anya is absolutely adorable. Again I repeat, SO CUTE. Just read it, you'll fall in love with her.
