Word of mouth is great for marketing, eh? Spy x Family has been on my radar for a long time. I can see how it will work to serve the anime later on and believe it will be a bunch of joy! Looking forward to the next mission lessssgooooo. There's blood and violence, but the art nicely balances it out with cheerful and soothing family moments.Īs much as it overwhelms me because everything felt like it was shoved from the first volume, it feels whole. It's detailed in terms of people and background, and key aspects are underlined in each panel to add more to each scene, there aren't any pages that feel underutilized. Not to say, the art style is a fantastic match for the layout! Everyone is just so gorgeous.

Having anime adaptation is common and I know most production follows exactly like the manga, but the resemblance is uncanny - I am just blown away! This book is so easygoing and fun compromising the found family from a spy, mind reader, and assasin which is such an odd, refined family if you ask me. Safe to say, I never picked a manga so fast. I've always wanted to read this, but the question is: why didn't I do so sooner? Not until the anime was released that I watched it and become head over heels with Twilight and Anya, just from the 20 minutes video and it's only been the first episode.
