Spy x Family is a comedy and action manga from Tatsuya Endo. This series was published in Shounen Jump+, the home of some of the greatest manga, and its popularity skyrocketed.
The storyline is unique and a breath of fresh air as it follows a master spy codenamed Twilight, who has spent his days on undercover missions, all for the dream of a better world. But one day, he receives a complicated new order from command. For his mission, he must form a temporary family and start a new life. But his new wife and child have secrets of their own.
