Spy x Family Vol 1: Volume 1

Product Information

This family is just full of secrets and I can't wait for the truth to be revealed. You'll notice despite trying to shield themselves from their identity, they still couldn't hide their true colors. This start of the series is just a strike of humor, plot twist, and violence, blended perfectly together so that there will be no dull moment when you read this. The father, code name: Twilight, is THE best spy in Westalis. His newest mission is to maintain peace between two neighboring countries, Westalis and Ostania (basically just West Germany and East Germany during the Berlin Wall). And to achieve this, he needs to get married and have a child within 7 days.

The story plays with some well known tropes, such as the classic fake dating trope, but it flips it on its head by turning in into a fake family trope. It gets even more exciting when you remember that this is an action sci-fi manga, with a good dose of quality dialogue and great comedic timing. It makes everything so much more exciting to read about the three main characters, because one is a spy, one is an assassin, and the other is a telepathic child. It makes any situation that they're all in together so much more interesting. A neat aspect that stood out in particular was the setting. Its vibe is something from the late ’60s to early ’70s; the world feels something akin to Europe and Russia during the Cold War. It’s all dripping in personality, having this undercurrent of paranoia and distrust where even not getting together with someone at a certain age seems suspicious. There’s a hard bent towards nationalism and elitism. Countries feel like they are on the brink of war and are looking for any edge over the other. It lends itself perfectly to this series, adding a lot to the characters and the kind of history they had to or still deal with. SPY x FAMILY: Family Portrait • SPY x FAMILY Official Fanbook: EYES ONLY • SPY x FAMILY: Operation Coloring -FAMILY- • SPY x FAMILY Workbook: Anya's First English I'm a big fan of movies and anime where the characters are hiding who they really are. I love the tension of "Will they be discovered?" and the anguish of them wanting to reveal their secrets and not being able to. The main characters are all interesting in very distinctive ways (which you can probably grasp from the synopsis) and it makes for an incredibly captivating group of individuals, that have really entertaining and intriguing interactions. Twilight is a highly mysterious perfectionist, that is so good at his job, no one actually knowns who he really is. Yor is strong, intelligent, and highly capable, but somewhat socially awkward and shy. While Anya is the cutest, most outgoing, and kind little telepath you will ever meet.Overall, I had a such a fun time with this! 🥰🥰 Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a manga with: The housemaster in chapter 3 describes PERFECTLY how I feel about Spy x Family. It's elegant. From the story, to the characters, all the way down to the detail of each chapter being a "mission." And honestly, every chapter really does feel like a mission. I feel like we're accomplishing something everything chapter while moving the story forward as well. No chapter is a filler chapter. It has a clear goal on getting from point A to point B. And how it gets there will have you dead from laughter.

So, our lead dude Twilight is a spy. He's a great spy, but is suddenly given a very difficult mission: marry and have a kid to complete the next mission. This is not something he is interested in doing, but... ya know, it's the job. He adopts Anya, a super smart six year old from an orphanage who is already finishing crosswords and seeming like a telepath. Things seem to go fine and dandy... until he needs to get a wife too, that other crucial step he forgot about. So he finds Yur Briar, a deadly female assassin and marries her! And thus, the missions begin! Honestly, I really enjoy this book. I hope I can get my hands on the rest of the volumes because this book is so darn good! Such a great read! Spy x Family basically follows Twilight, a spy who needs to get a fake wife and child for a mission. Anya and Yor begin to pose as his family- but what Twilight doesn't know is that Anya (the child) is a telepath and Yor (the wife) is an assassin!yor is a serial killer, but despite this, she is a kind and beautiful woman. Yor meets Twilight one day,the two started to hide their personalities for each other on each other from that moment.yor trying so hard to be a good mom ahhh, she is so lovely.
