SPY×FAMILY

SPY×FAMILY began serialization in March 2019 on the Shonen Jump+ digital platform. Created by Tatsuya Endou, the series originated from his desire to blend the high-stakes tension of international espionage with the mundane, humorous realities of building a chosen family. The narrative follows Loid Forger, a master spy who must construct a temporary family to infiltrate an elite private school, inadvertently bringing together a telepathic daughter and an assassin wife who are all unaware of each other's secret identities.

The aesthetic of the series is heavily influenced by mid-century European architecture and spy fiction tropes from the Cold War era. Endou meticulously crafted the character designs to reflect these dual lives, balancing clean, sharp lines for espionage sequences with expressive, softened features for domestic scenes. Upon its release, the manga was lauded for its tonal versatility, successfully oscillating between frantic action and warm character development, which quickly established it as one of the most successful titles in the history of the Shonen Jump+ platform.
