Spy x Family Vol 1: Volume 1

Product Information

The story-line is engaging and entertaining with great illustrations. I am looking forward to the next volume. At City Hall, in the capital city of Berlint, Yor is different from the other women she works with. Quiet, and somewhat naïve, she is the object of constant criticism in the guise of helpful hints, such as improving her appearance so she can find a man. Her brother Yuri worries about her, and calls her often. To relieve his mind, she tells him she has a boyfriend and is going to a party that weekend. What no one knows is that Yor is actually an assassin, and a darn good one! But how is she going to find a “boyfriend” to take to a party on such short notice? Not one to depend on others, Twilight has his work cut out for him procuring both a wife and a child for his mission to infiltrate an elite private school. What he doesn't know is that the wife he's chosen is an assassin and the child he's adopted is a telepath!

I greatly enjoyed the ridiculous story, I do like it when my manga goes full bore nuts and also is funny. And fun characters! The characters- They were all so entertaining to read about and even in only 1 volume, I connected to them very easily. Anya was so cute and I was just a big fan of Yor and Twilight in general. Also, is it just me or is Twilight a big like Aaron Warner?! I probably just have Shatter Me on the brain, but that definitely didn't hurt my feelings on him 🤭🤭 English chapters have been translated and you can read them on spy-family.com, This Summary is About The art style- I didn't expect this, but I'm obsessed with this art style!! 😍😍 I love the attention to detail and just the way it is drawn just works really well for me. Super excited to see more of it in the next volumes! 🙌 Three people are on a collision course with destiny! Each one has needs—Twilight a wife, Yor a boyfriend, and Anya a family. When chance—or is that Fate?—brings them together, they decide to form a family. Will they be able to fulfill Twilight’s mission and gain Anya admission into Eden Academy? And if they do, how long can they maintain their cover… and how long will they want to?Cover character: Franky Franklin and the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames

Introduction Arc • Admissions Interview Arc • Eden Beginnings Arc • Secret Police Arc • Stella Star Arc • Doggy Crisis Arc • Midterm Exams Arc • Campbelldon Tennis Arc • Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc • Cruise Adventure Arc • WISE Arc • Friendship Schemes Arc • Red Circus Arc • Mole Hunt Arc The characters are well defined and the artwork fit the story well. There’s over-the-top action, emotional breakdowns, and humor in this cold war espionage fantasy. I was bothered by the idea that a woman should be married by a certain age, but I know some people still think this in the twenty-first century. Of course, being the romantic that I am, I’m hoping that by the end of the series, Twilight (whose real name I hope to learn) and Yor will fall in love for real and they both embrace Anya as their daughter, so that they become a real family. Only time will tell! Master spy Twilight is the best at what he does when it comes to going undercover on dangerous missions in the name of a better world. But when he receives the ultimate impossible assignment—get married and have a kid—he may finally be in over his head! 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?I found the art to be detailed and intricate, but not so much that it was overwhelming. It made the fight scenes and emotional moments that much better, which is exactly what you want from graphic novels! The art is just as much a part of the story as anything you're reading, and Tatsuya Endo deftly weaves the two together to create an excellent story that is elevated by the lovely and fascinating visuals, and smooth writing. 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.

Meanwhile, Yor Briar despite being an assassin is a lovely woman who dreams of romance. Twilight's first connection with her is built on deception where he claims he wants to fulfill his late wife's desires, much as she wants to deceive her brother. Yor never tells her "husband" about her assassin activities, and Twilight keeps Yor in the dark about his genuine motivation for enrolling Anya in the school. I. Am. In. Love. I read the first two volumes of this manga today, and it's this perfect mix of a totally absurd plot with very real feelings in characters who aren't used to having them. The setup: A spy adopts a child as part of a mission and doesn't realize she's a telepath, and enters a marriage of convenience with a woman who wants to reassure her brother she won't be single forever - except she's secretly a contract killer. I can barely follow the politics of the fictional country where they live, but it doesn't matter, because the important aspect is how three people who've never really had anybody deal with having someone. Can't wait for the next volume. In Volume 1's cover art, Loid Forger is seated on a Grand Confort LC-2 Petit Modèle armchair designed by Le Corbusier.

I really enjoyed this! 🤩🤩 I went in with high expectations, but this book definitely fulfilled them!! I had such a fun time reading it 🥰🥰 Overall, I had a such a fun time with this! 🥰🥰 Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a manga with: 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. 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! 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!
