This book was like a breeze of freshness. With its funny, simple and captivating plot following the struggles of the bizarre Forger family, this book is an absolute page-turner. The characters are extremely entertaining and so are their interactions. Its a really quick read that gets you wishing to read more and more (and it's also a great book to get off of a bad reading slump). Would totally recommend!!!

despite having already seen the anime prior to reading this, vol. 1 of spy x family is hilarious nevertheless. i rly applaud endo for crafting such a well-balanced story of high stakes action, comedy and fantastic characters, a rollicking ride thats simply *chef's kiss*.

the art's great as well, w/ rly good paneling and composition (most of the time) that complement the action and maximize impact on the reader. the book's seemingly effortless blend of comedy, action and emotional moments are a rare find tbh, and im so happy for its success!

Great beginning! I'm watching the anime as it airs and I do admit I like the pacing and art of the anime much more than the manga's, but this is still super enjoyable!!
