Spy x Family Vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo - This is the most adorable series pretty much ever

 

Fangirl moment in 5...4...3...OMG WHY IS THIS SO CUTE!? My heart cannot handle the level of cuteness enshrined in this one series!! Like most people, I tuned in to the first episode a few weeks ago and fell in love with Anya, Twilight, and Yor.


Twilight is at the top of his spy game when it all comes crashing down around him. His next mission is to infiltrate Eden Academy an elite private school to get close to a traitor, which means Twilight is going to need to get himself a kid and a wife! But Twilight is a professional and if that's what it takes then so be it. He easily secures a child, Anya an orphan who has a secret of her own; she can read minds. The wife part isn't so easy though until he comes across Yor known to some as The Thorn Princess an assassin at the top of her game. In a fake family where everyone has a secret and an agenda of their own getting little Anya into Eden Academy is going to be harder than any of them assumed...


I feel like I'm probably going to be echoing a lot of what others said here but honestly that's because this is such an adorable series. The art is beautiful, the story is unique, the characters are wonderful and each of them has an intriguing backstory. I can't say that one character is better than another in this one because it's the three of them together that makes this a really special read. Anya's need to have a family, Yor's need to appear normal, and Twilight's need to finish his mission but his softer nature interfering play off of each other brilliantly. This is also laugh-out-loud until your sides hurt funny. 


Overall, easily a five-star read, and as many others have said if you aren't reading this you definitely should be. This is one of those mangas where I feel completely comfortable saying that it will appeal to everyone, even if you don't normally read manga.
