On March 3, 2022, a set containing the first 3 volumes as well as a bookmark for each volume's cover character was released in Japan. Anya's telepathy was a late change by Endo while developing her character. He had always intended for Loid to adopt a child with some sort of superpower. He did not think much of what the implications a mind-reader being in the story would have, but later realized that it had good comedic potential and created a new reader viewpoint. [38] On April 3, 2023, an exhibition of the SPY x FAMILY manga was announced and is currently touring around Japan since July 20, 2023.

Hodgkins, Crystalyn (December 5, 2020). "Demon Slayer Tops Da Vinci Manga Ranking". Anime News Network . Retrieved December 5, 2020. Spy × Family has also started gaining mainstream popularity with a wide range of age groups, from children to adults. An official from Takara Tomy Arts said: "[the series] is popular among a wide range of people, just like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Anya is particularly popular. It is likely that there will be even more toys and goods in the future, including products for children." [87] Sales [ edit ] Crowd: When Anya is exposed to huge crowds, she often tends to get dizzy or exhausted by uncontrollably reading most of the whole crowd's minds. Above Average Intelligence: Though it may not seem like it at first, one must remember that as a four or five-year-old child, Anya manages to pass most of her Eden tests, albeit barely. She also does well in classical language, considered advanced in today's society, ignoring her spelling and grammar mistakes.Above Average Strength: Despite her size, Anya is capable of sending people flying with a punch if angered. Classical Language: Anya is mysteriously knowledgeable of classical language, despite having barely learned the subject at school, as Loid notices she could have scored well on her test if she did not make so many spelling mistakes. [15] Most of all, what makes the series work is the way it finds humor in the collision between true identity and fake identity. Loid is a hypercompetent spy, but none of his espionage training prepared him for fatherhood. Yor can kill multiple people without breaking a sweat, but navigating workplace petty gossip confounds her.

Ending Theme

The initial draft was given a working title of Spy Family written in Japanese. When deciding the final name, Endo came up with over 100 options, but they ultimately decided to use the same title but in English and with a "cross" in between, the latter influenced by Hunter × Hunter. [7] Lin said that he and Endo are always conscious of the line where violence, a necessary aspect in a spy manga, is given a pass for comedy's sake. With Tista and Blade of the Moon Princess both having a dark tone, the editor told Endo to give Spy × Family a more cheerful one. Anya was inspired by the main character of Rengoku no Ashe. Her extrasensory perception was decided early on, and Lin cited its use for comedic effect as one of the series' strengths. Lin said that the series has a broad readership among all ages and genders. He also cited Endo's clean art and ability to convey emotions as part of the manga's appeal. [7]
