New Spy x Family Milestone Shows How Fast the Series Is Growing

By Evan Valentine

Spy x Family has found a way to balance espionage action with hilarious, heartfelt moments in introducing anime fans to the world of Loid, Anya, and Yor Forger. With the anime series becoming the biggest anime of the spring season, it seems that the television show has helped in exceling manga sales with the editor of the series taking the opportunity to show just how far the printed story has come since first being introduced by creator Tatsuya Endo.

The latest episode wasn't just hilarious and heart-warming, but it was also action-packed as the Forgers celebrated Anya's entry into Eden College with an exercise that brought together countless spies from WISE as Loid tried to recreate one of Anya's favorite television series. While the members of the Forger family have been able to hide their respective secrets from one another so far, Yor specifically came close to revealing her secret status as a world-class assassin as she took her role as a kidnapper of Anya a bit too seriously. The mission to create world peace has only just begun as Anya is set to join Eden as a full-time student.

The editor of Spy x Family, SHIHEILIN, shared the big news that there are now over eighteen million copies of the manga series in circulation as we speak, showing how the anime adaptation has benefitted the original printed story, which has yet to bring the story of the Forgers to a close:

At present, the first season of Spy x Family is set to receive around twenty-four episodes in total, with CloverWorks and Wit continuing to work in tandem when it comes to bringing this big story to the small screen. While the trio is aware that they aren't a "real family", the series has left hints that this might change as it's clear that Yor, Anya, and Loid are becoming more attached to one another over time, despite their statuses as a master spy, assassin, and telepath.
