I requested this book based on the description but I was unable to download onto my Kindle Voyage despite detailed instructions. Sorry!

I thought this was great. It was fresh, new, and funny. Anya was a super cute character, and I loved how ridiculous the plot of this story was. I could have done without the repeated indications that unmarried young women are dishonorable and shameful to their families, though.

I was completely underwhelmed by this. The art, while certainly not bad, wasn't very memorable, and the story itself feels utterly ridiculous. I won't be continuing.

Loved the story, the comedic aspects, and the dynamic of this very unconventional (understatement of the year) family. I look forward to introducing this to my anime club teens.

Absolutely charming and heart-warming, laugh-filled and precious story of a very unusual family. Not what I expected, but eagerly awaiting the next volume.

I freaking loved this manga!! I love how three people who are all different were able to come together to create a mysterious, crazy, and all around amazing family. I loved all the characters, but the daughter, Anya, was definitely my favorite. I can’t wait for volume 2!!!

This was so much better than expected! I really enjoyed the story, it was definitely a different kind of spy story! I liked that it was unique and so much fun. It also had a lot of good action scenes and the art is really well done.

The characters were each really interesting in different ways and their dynamic ended up working well and being super cute! It really drew me in and I can't wait to see what happens next with this fake family and all their secrets.

Would highly recommend giving this a read!

This is a heartwarming story about finding family in the most unexpected of places with the most unexpected people. The main characters, Twilight, the spy, has to become a father and husband to Anya, a telepathic child, and Yor, an assassin. All three of them need something that each other can give and the story portrays this in such a way that over time, they realize that they've really come to care and depend on one another, as quirky as they all are. The art style is unique and well-done compared to other manga I've read and aids in portraying the variety of emotions and situations the characters go through.

This manga is non-stop action and intrigue as the reader comes to learn more about the characters and the world of deception they live in. Although they appear to all be deceiving on another, they have the best intentions at heart, which makes this manga a fun experience. The people they interact with, whether good guys or bad guys, draws the family into helping one another and brings them even closer. As they grow together as a family, they come to learn how to be 'normal' in the sense that makes them feel safe and happy with one another, despite their secrets and that maybe, just maybe, they should stick together in the long run. I admit, I was slightly apprehensive about a spy manga story with its type of premise of a fake family but the art, setting, and characters drew me in and seem almost believable and definitely have me invested in learning more about this unconventional family and how they will end up in the end. I am hoping for a positive ending! Overall, it is an enjoyable series, and I greatly look forward to the next volume!

The overall premise is intriguing with elements of both predictability and surprise. I enjoyed the clever dialogue and very detailed artwork. I'll be interested to see where the story goes! I don't usually read a lot of manga, but this story held my interest all the way through. The art was good, but I think some of it got a bit lost due to the choice to keep it in black and white.

4.5, rounded up. This was so fun! It reminded me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (but better); I love Anya (and the irony that only she knows the full extent of her family situation) and am looking forward to learning more about Yor's abilities as an assassin.

I was wondering why everyone was raving about this manga, and wow this blew me away. This was everything I wanted and more in a manga. The art is beautiful, the characters are cool and at the same time cute, and most of all the humor is absolutely hilarious!

Usually, I go for the shojo type manga (a series of japanese comics aimed at young female audiences). However, this one got me addicted, and I want to read more. I can't wait to read the next volume and get a paperback copy of this manga to add to my collection (it's definitely worth reading over and over again).

My Rating:

Note: Thank you Viz Media and Netgalley for the digital copy.

This volume was quite fun actually. We have a spy, and assassin, and a telepathic young girl who form a family for the spy's mission. The way everything comes together in this volume was really sweet. I really enjoyed my reading experience of this first volume, and fully intent to pick up a physical copy once they are available! Thanks to Viz and NetGalley for my early digital review copy!

This was really cute and funny! I really enjoyed it. The '"dad" spy is totally clueless about the "mom" assassin, and vice versa. The only one who really knows who anyone really is is the "daughter" but only because she has telepathic abilities. She goes out of her way to both hide her abilities and help out the adults so she can keep her "family". I am definitely going to keep an eye out for future chapters to read.

I received this e-book ARC of Spy x Family, Vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo through Net Galley from VIZ Media in exchange for a truthful review.

Humorous volume 1 of a manga about a solitary spy, code name Twilight, who is ordered to procure a wife and child in order to facilitate his next important mission. The child he adopts. Anya, and the woman who agrees to be his wife, Yor, have cool secrets of their own.
This instant family start to grow on each other as they begin the first steps in Twilight's mission. Can't wait to see how the family relationship develops in future volumes.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy of this graphic novel.

This was an enjoyable read and I’d recommend to those that like stories and graphic novels.

I really enjoyed this! The characters are interesting and their backgrounds are introduced pretty quickly to give insight as to why they react in ways that are the opposite of how people usually would in their lines of work. The pacing is good, and the addition of an esper child makes this book far more interesting than if she had been a normal child. The art style is interesting (in a good way) and the characters' interactions feel natural, with the exception of just before they agreed to get married. In that sequence, it felt too much of a stretch for Yori to just brush off the spy's claims of it being a snapped psych patient coming after him.

After reading this, I pre-ordered the first two volumes! Can't wait to read the first one again!

This book was highly entertaining. Great story and artwork. Filled with spy action, funny, and heartwarming. This make-believe family is awesome. I'm rooting for them to stay together at the end. Can't wait to read more. Recommended read.

Thank you to Viz Media and Netgalley for providing a digital ARC.

I can say I did not know what I was getting into when I picked up this book but it was a wildly entertaining ride. The concept is unique in my memory; what with an assassin, a spy, and a telepath all working together towards a common goal even if their motives and their true selves are hidden from each other. You have three very distinct characters coming together to make what seems like a dysfunctional family instead very functional. I am interested in seeing where it does from here.

When a spy gets a new mission that requires him to get a child and wife to infiltrate a private school, he finds himself dealing with his toughest mission yet. Unbeknownst to him the child he chooses is a telepath and his wife is an assassin. The fun dynamic of the fake family in this book makes the story charming and often funny. Each character has their own reasons for needing a family that creates some interesting scenarios and makes it easy to want to root for their success as a family. I picked this up at a time when I was looking for a light read and the humor and zany plot of this fit the bill nicely.

When a spy needs a family for an undercover mission what does he do go out and put one together. He adopts a girl, finds a woman to be his wife. But when everyone has secrets and nobody is who they are pretending to be what is to become of this "family." Read this book it is heartfelt, action, comedy, family and more action.
