There’s over-the-top action, emotional breakdowns, and humor in this cold war espionage fantasy. I was bothered by the idea that a woman should be married by a certain age, but I know some people still think this in the twenty-first century.

In December 2019, Brutus magazine included the series on their "Most Dangerous Manga" list, which included works with the most "stimulating" and thought-provoking themes. [71] Later that same month, Polygon included it on a list of the best comics of 2019. [72] The 2020 edition of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook named Spy × Family the best manga series for male readers. [73] The series ranked first on Honya Club's Nationwide Bookstore Employees' Recommended Comics of 2020 list, compiled by surveying 1,100 professional bookstore employees in Japan. [74] It ranked fifth in a 2020 poll conducted by AnimeJapan of "Most Wanted Anime Adaptation". [75] It was named as the "No. 1 Popular Web Comic of 2019," the "No. 1 Popular Shōnen Jump+ Work," and a "Signature Work of Jump+". [76] In May 2022, as stated by the manga's editor Shihei Lin, the series reached 350 million views on Shōnen Jump+. [77] In August 2022, the series reached 480 million views. [78] About a month later, the series reached 500 million views. [79] Also in December of the same year, the manga topped the 2022 "Book of the Year" list by Da Vinci magazine. [80] The story plays with some well known tropes, such as the classic fake dating trope, but it flips it on its head by turning in into a fake family trope. It gets even more exciting when you remember that this is an action sci-fi manga, with a good dose of quality dialogue and great comedic timing. It makes everything so much more exciting to read about the three main characters, because one is a spy, one is an assassin, and the other is a telepathic child. It makes any situation that they're all in together so much more interesting. Spy X Family is inspired by Germany and real historical events in Europe". RV Game PC. April 25, 2022 .

Its the story of a spy who for an undercover mission gets a daughter and also a wife and then they have to get into this top private academy for his mission and so they practice what its like to be a top family and as they do that, they become a real family who care for each other and then the interview brings it out. What I like about the series is the comedy and the way it presents its characters and how they have their own secrets and particularly the comedic moments especially from Anya when she is reading minds and the art is just lovely and the women here look so gorgeous. I like how Loid is shown to be changing and it just makes you love the manga so much more! Mateo, Alex (April 9, 2021).
