Spy x Family, Vol. 1 (1)

I happened across this beauty by chance (thank you amazon) and thank goodness I took a chance on it. I usually find my manga through manga sites or by roaming a bookstore. This is actually the first time I discovered one on Amazon without looking for a title that I already knew I wanted to buy. The premise seemed interesting and funny. After reading it I also found it to be really cute too. It hits all the bases: funny, cute, action packed, drama, and best of all a great storyline and art style. Not gonna lie the spy low key reminds me of England from Hetalia. He’s serious and yet quirky in his own way. And I absolutely adore the way the characters bond and interact. Hehehehe I’ve already reread it several times and preordered the next volumes. I can’t wait till they come out.

This had an interesting premise where a spy needs a family in a flash, an assassin needs to be in relationship to maintain her social appearances and a young orphan that wants parents to love and spoil her with peanuts come together to have a ridiculous adventure. I honestly can't imagine someone not liking this story. It has humor, action, slice of life and potential romance. The daughter Anya can read minds and thus the only one who knows what everyone is hiding. But the thing I love most about this story is how everyone has a secret to keep, everyone has an ulterior motive to be in a false family, yet without realizing it they all desperately crave a bond with one another. The fight scenes, mind reading and subterfuge are just bonuses to an already promising story. I can't wait to read the next installments.

A spy (Dad), an assassin (Mom), and a telepath (daughter). The only one who knows is the daughter. What could go wrong? The three main characters are likable and engaging right from the start. This manga is very entertaining, and well worth the read. I'm giving it 5 stars because I reread it often. (And notice more each time I reread, which is fun.) I've been reading this since the first chapter appeared in the English version of Shonen Jump, and eagerly wait for the next chapter. I'm so glad to read it in book format!

My son kept telling me about this funny manga he was reading on a app, I think it was. I'd hear him laughing out loud as he read it. I prefer actual books over digital formats so I reserved a copy a month ago. I got it today and read it in one sitting. The only thing I can find wrong with it is I have to wait until September for the next volume!

I didn’t know I needed this in my life until it was. Twilight seems to be super suave, super cool, and uber talented at *spy stuff* and only has eyes for the job. Until a mission requires him to get a family, and now he’s super awkward because he’s a spy, not a family man, and he finds himself reacting to things in very un-spy-like ways. Oh, and to top it off, his “wife” is an assassin who may be dumb, or may be a genius, and his “daughter” is telepathic and doesn’t handle large crowds well. Let the shenanigans ensue. I honestly thought this was so cute and fun. And it’s well done. I love the art! So much gets expressed through the eyes throughout this manga. Anyway, I am really looking forward to volume 2!
