The Spy x Family anime has taken the world by storm. Within a month of its premiere, Spy x Family has already placed itself as one of the Top 5 Anime on MyAnimeList. The anime is based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo.

His latest mission is to investigate a politician who doesn’t make public appearances except for his son’s school functions.

He adopts little Anya to play the role of his daughter, as she seems to be the smartest of the children at the adoption center, Loid adopts her, having no knowledge that Anya is secretly an esper (someone with psychic abilities)! Shortly after, our top spy protagnist marries a woman named Yor, who is just as desperate for a fake relationship as he is in order to hide her profession: she is secretly an assassin. Anya, being an esper, finds out the secrets of her new parents, but she doesn’t reveal them. Why? Because she thinks it’s very cool!
