I first heard about this story from my go-to AniTuber, Geoff Thew @ Mother's Basement when the anime was set to air this spring. It sounded cute and funny, with the chance of maybe some heartfelt moments? Who am I kiddingâit was promised to have heartfelt moments, plus some neat spy and assassin action, so I jumped straight in. And I'm glad I did.

Overall, Spy x Family is an absolute treat. If you're looking for something that combines espionage, found family, assassins, humor, Cold-War tensions, super-powers, and eccentric characters all into one story, you'll be hard-pressed to find better than this. So far, I think this manga is appropriate for middle-grade and up, but it's probably safer to recommend it for high school and older, since I don't know if violence or language ramps up later. In case I haven't made it clear, I'm completely hooked and will be continuing to the next few volumes shortly, as well as eagerly anticipating the next installments of the anime in the fall.
