Tout ce que je fais c’est pour bâtir un monde dans lequel les enfants ne sombreraient plus dans le désespoir, comme moi autrefois.

Voilà pourquoi je suis devenu ce que je suis.

Même moi, le meilleur espion de l’Ouest, j’aurais du mal à me grimer en bambin 

Il y a longtemps déjà, j’ai laissé derrière moi mon nom et mon visage 

Vous autres espions, êtes les héros de l’ombre… 

Des idéaux ordinaires que j’ai abandonné le jour où j’ai décidé de devenir espion

My first manga (i think that’s what it’s called) but i really liked it

Spy x Family, Volume 1 by Tatsuya Endo and Casey Loe (Translator) is the start of a manga series that is now part of the spring 2022 anime season. Volume 1 features a master spy, code name "Twilight" who must put together a family in order to infiltrate a private school. It's a matter of national security and could help turn the course of a long running war.

Such a joy to read. Hilarious and sweet.

Spy x Family has been on my radar for a long time. I heard about it from a friend and then really wanted to read it! Word of mouth is great for marketing, eh?

This book is absolutely marvellous, and all the fun of a VIZ book! It's thrilling and yet fun, all at the same time. It felt like the fun that Man from U.N.C.L.E. gave me when that film came out.

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! 

I love this premise! The plot is super fun and fast paced, the illustrations are great and the characters are barrels of fun! There's enough of a mystery behind this story to make this series super intriguing... but also the fake family and intriguing characters (spy, assassin and telepath... not your typical trio).

Also: Briar's Reviews reading about a girl named Briar... Yup. I'm biased. I love it! 

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!

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ for supplying me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I've only read the first volume of this manga, but I'm already in love with it. 

Spy x Family is a found family story about (you guessed it) a spy family. We follow the main character, a spy who goes by the moniker Twilight, as he finishes up one assignment and gets a new one. A more long-term assignment where he has to pose as a posh family to get close to his target. To do this, he has to take on a wife and a child, both things that he swore he would never do. 

I don't want to go to far into detail and spoil it because the best parts of this manga are in the details. His new wife and child bring so much warmth and humor to the story, and there is so much more to them than I can say here without spoiling the plot. 

I'm really not really much of a manga reader. I used to be when I was in middle/high school, but it's been many many years since I've picked up a manga and now I'm regretting it hard. This was absolutely fantastic. And it was great for this time of year because post-holiday depression hits me hard sometimes. This series was a nice little pick-me-up that reminded me not to take everything so seriously.



Content Warnings: violence, gun violence, blood, bullying, and abandonment. Non-spoilery details under the spoiler tag. 

(view spoiler)[In terms of content warnings, there is a ton of violence depicted in the images. Obviously the main character is a spy and his job is fighting the bad guys, so there are a lot of guns and blood. However, this is very much a humorous take on an action/adventure spy story and much of it is exaggerated to get that effect. 

One of the main characters continually faces bigotry and bullying from some minor characters in the series. This is explicitly shown on page, but the bullies are depicted as the bad guys. 

The main character talks about his experiences with abandonment and there is another character in the book that has a history of abandonment. Explicitly, these are talked about briefly, however, there are a few instances where it's brought up in a more subtle way because it adds context to a character's thoughts or actions. All that to say, at least in this first book, abandonment is a common theme that more than one character has to come to terms with and learn to cope with.  (hide spoiler)]

This was my first Manga, and I enjoyed it. I liked the characters, and I thought they were drawn well. I had a few problems following the plot, but my favorite element was the fake family. Spy X Family has some good writing. I want to know more about the couple in this book, which I think might be in future volumes. I’m glad I read this.
