Spy x Family, Vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo – Paperback Manga

About the Book

Spy x Family Vol. 1 introduces you to an unforgettable story where espionage meets domestic comedy. Master spy Twilight needs to form a family to infiltrate an elite school and get close to his target. He adopts a sweet little girl named Anya (who’s secretly a telepath) and recruits a woman named Yor to pose as his wife (who’s secretly a deadly assassin). None of them know each other’s true identities, and the result is pure comedic gold mixed with genuine emotional moments that will catch you off guard.

From the Back Cover
