 SPY x FAMILY (pronounced as Spy Family) is a new manga written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo, author of Tista, Gekka Bijin, and I Spy. It’s fantastic and is published every other week online in Shonen Jump Plus. Read the official, free English simulpub HERE to support the author! e: Why are some of the middle chapters unavailable to read on MangaPlus? Clarste posted:That's how they make money with this free service. You can read the first three chapters and the latest three, but if you want the ones in the middle you need to buy... something. I'm not sure if that something currently exists or not. Latest chapters will still be available first on MangaPlus, but you'll have to search elsewhere to read the other chapters for now. e2: Viz has licensed the series, so if you're a SJ member, you can also read the entire backlog directly at their website as well. Overview The master spy codenamed <Twilight> has spent his days on undercover missions, all for the dream of a better world. But one day, he receives a particularly difficult new order from command. For his mission, he must form a temporary family and start a new life?! A Spy/Action/Comedy about a one-of-a-kind family!

Office worker by day, contract killer working for Ostanian officials by night. She enters into a fake marriage with Twilight in order to maintain her own cover while also being unaware of his occupation as a spy. Kind of oblivious, but does her best!  Anya Folger Esper Daughter. A 6? year-old (more like 4 or 5) currently on the run from the organization which gave her mind-reading powers. Was adopted by Twilight to fulfill his mission.

To be fair, the author did not specifically ask for Ania, I'm just changing it ahead of time so it's less disruptive when they inevitably do.

chumbler posted:They need a date night without incidents. Heck, I'm sure they can turn a date night full of incidents into something romantic anyway. See: end of chapter 2. That proposal scene is still one of the best of the series imo, but all of it is pretty great. Looking forward to how much better the inevitable real proposal will be, though

They're going to impersonate the bride and the groom on a blind marriage between two mafia families in order to assassinate the other person; the jig's up at the altar when the veil is lifted but at that moment they'll also realize they're made for each other and get married for real

There will absolutely be a chapter, that will begin with them wanting to kill each other, will consist of them demolishing the neighborhood while fighting each other and will end with them kissing passionately. That's non-negotiable.

I was wondering how serious this would end up being. The humor has been excellent, but I was hoping for more spy stuff and it looks like we're getting it.  Also lol at Loid reading chapter 1 of Ania's comic. And I for one love the new Forger name.

One thing that is mildly bothering me about this manga is how Loid has zero curiosity towards Yor's skills. He is so meticulous about every other aspect of his mission but just kinda accepts that she can catch a flying tray of hot food with one foot in high heels or beat up half a dozen bad guys in an instant. I guess it's a sign of how warped his perception of normal is, but I think its very funny how he is so incredibly suspicious of everyone except the assassin he invited into his house. Sure she's extremely convenient for his mission, but its still very silly. Maybe her brother being uncle gestapo will improve Loid's paranoia. Not to say that I think the manga would be better if he was more suspicious of her, it's just a very funny blind spot for this otherwise overcautious super spy to have.

The YES / YES pillows absolutely killed me. Someone put me into a cryogenic chamber until the next bunch of chapters release. thanks in advance. I’m glad the release schedule is biweekly instead of monthly, at least.

By the way, the author has a twitter and usually posts illustrations whenever new chapters pop up. Chapter 11’s is Yuri. https://twitter.com/_tatsuyaendo_/status/1160571048053506049
