The first part of the SPY x FAMILY anime was broadcast as part of the Spring 2022 anime season, featuring Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Hunter x Hunter 1999, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn) in the director’s chair at WIT STUDIO and CloverWorks. Takuya Eguchi (Shuji Hanma in Tokyo Revengers, Soei in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) voices Loid Forger, Atsumi Tanezaki (Dai in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, Vivy in Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song) voices Anya Forger and Saori Hayami (Rachel in Tower of God, Yamato in One Piece) voices Yor Forger.

 

Tatsuya Endo’s manga is serialized bi-weekly on Shonen Jump+ in Japan, with Viz Media releasing the series in English on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app as it comes out in Japan, as well as in physical volumes. Crunchyroll describes the series as such:
 

Everyone has a part of themselves they cannot show to anyone else.
 
At a time when all nations of the world were involved in a fierce war of information happening behind closed doors, Ostania and Westalis had been in a state of cold war against one another for decades.
 
The Westalis Intelligence Services’ Eastern-Focused Division (WISE) sends their most talented spy, “Twilight,” on a top-secret mission to investigate the movements of Donovan Desmond, the chairman of Ostania’s National Unity Party, who is threatening peace efforts between the two nations. 
 
This mission is known as “Operation Strix.”
 
It consists of “putting together a family in one week in order to infiltrate social gatherings organized by the elite school that Desmond’s son attends.”
 
“Twilight” takes on the identity of psychiatrist Loid Forger and starts looking for family members. But Anya, the daughter he adopts, turns out to have the ability to read people’s minds, while his wife, Yor, is an assassin! With it being in each of their own interests to keep these facts hidden, they start living together while concealing their true identities from one another.
 
World peace is now in the hands of this brand-new family as they embark on an adventure full of surprises.
