Backstory Can Be Relevant, Who Knew

Spy X Family vols. 14-15 by Tatsuya Endo

March 30, 2026 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Turns out that sometimes backstory time can be both interesting and maybe even relevant. Spy x Family is essentially an action-comedy where a spy has to create a family to get close to his mark; the gal he marries is secretly an assassin, the daughter he adopts is secretly a telepath (but she’s 6, meaning she understanding things not the conventional way a lot), and the family dog has some kind of foretelling (but is also a dog, and thus cannot speak people). For most […]

Spy, Assassin, Telepath, Family?

Spy X Family, vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo

June 17, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

What happens when a spy needs to assemble a family unit for a mission, and the child he adopts and lady he marries are respectively a telepath and assassin, except none of them quite know what the rest of them are? A lot of fun is what. I saw a teaser excerpt of Spy X Family in a magazine, and I guess it worked since I bought the first volume about as soon as it was out. Twilight is a master spy, unfeeling and professional, […]
