This is the story of the “The Story of the World”.
At first glance, “spy” and “assassin” may seem like serious and action-oriented works, but despite the setting, “SPY x FAMILY (SPY x FAMILY)” has many heartwarming x comedic elements.
The detailed story will be introduced in the synopsis section of each volume.
Also, you can read the story at the beginning of the first volume on the author’s Twitter account, so check it out if you’re interested!
|Introduction of Main Characters in “SPY x FAMILY”｜What is the Forger Family, a family in disguise?
Here we introduce the main characters, who are essential to understanding the story.
Lloyd Forger… fictional father/spy of the West (Tasogare).
| Name: Lloyd Forger (Real name: Unknown)Fictitious occupation: psychiatrist, psychiatrist at Berlint General HospitalReal job: spy for WISE (code name: Tasogare)Age: unknownSpecial skills: disguise |
Lloyd Forger’s public face is that of a father and a brilliant psychiatrist.
And behind the scenes, he is the No. 1 spy in the West. His code name is “Tasogare.
In addition to his extraordinary powers of observation, memory, and athleticism, he has been able to successfully complete any mission with his ability to disguise himself using a hundred different faces.
He was given a new, extremely challenging mission, “Operation Strix (Strix).
The mission was to “get married and have a child within a week.
Lloyd (Tasogare) finds a “wife” and a “child” for this mission and creates a fake family, the Forgers.
Yol Forger…fictional mother/Killer (Thorn Princess)
| Name: Yol Forger (real name: Yol Briar) Fake Job: Clerk at Berlin and City Hall Real Job: Assassin for the underworld organization “Garden” (code name: assassin) Age: 27 Special Skill: Putting others to sleep with a single breath so they don’t suffer |
For the operation, Lloyd (Tasogare) was looking for a woman to be his mother (wife), and Yol Briar appeared.
On the surface, she is a calm and kind-hearted woman who works as an office worker at the Berlindt City Hall.
But her true nature is that she is an assassin.
She belongs to an assassination organization called “Garden” and works under the code name “Thorn Princess.
She is a woman with a strong sense of public image and a desire to “get married soon and reassure her brother, the only family she has left,” so she has entered into a sham marriage with Lloyd (Tasogare), a man with whom she has a common interest.
Anya Forger… fictional daughter/psychic who reads people’s minds.
| Name: Anya Forger (Real name: unknown)Front face: first-year student at Eden SchoolBack face: psychic (can read people’s minds)Age: 6 years old (real age: unknown) |
A girl Lloyd (Tasogare) met when he was looking for children at an orphanage for an operation.
In fact, she also had a secret face of being a psychic (able to read people’s minds).
Anya has experienced being creeped out by her ability to read people’s minds, so she seems to keep her psychic abilities from being noticed by anyone.
Therefore, neither Lloyd nor Yol know about Anya’s ability.
However, Anya knows that Lloyd is a “spy” and Yol is an “assassin” because of her psychic ability.
I am always “excited” to read what is going on in their minds.
|Spoiler alert! Three things to enjoy “SPY x FAMILY” more
Here we share our knowledge with you to help you enjoy “SPY x FAMILY (SPY x FAMILY)” even more!
Points for more fun (1): Know the period setting of SPY x FAMILY
One of the most attractive features of SPY x FAMILY is that it is set in an actual historical period!
SPY x FAMILY takes place in 1960, in Europe after the end of World War II.
This can be seen from the fact that all the text is written in English and the furniture and clothing that appear are from the 1960s.
Other elements of SPY×FAMILY that are typical of the 1960s and Europe are as follows.
| (1) The east-west map that appears in the book matches the topography of Germany at the time (the beginning of volume 1). (2) A CRT TV with legs, a dial telephone, and a chair from the 1960s (the cover picture of volume 4) appear in the book. (3)The model for the “Eden School” Anya attends is a real school in England. (4) The building is European in style |
I’ve seen historical and music manga set in Europe, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an action x comedy manga set in Europe…? (Lupin III, if I may say so?).
So I hope you enjoy the main storyline, and of course, these period settings, as much as I hope you enjoy SPY x FAMILY (SPY x FAMILY)!
Point 2: “Operation Strix,” a top-secret mission by Tasogare, a talented spy.
The best part of “SPY x FAMILY (SPY x FAMILY)” is that you can experience this authentic spy mission while calling yourself a heartwarming comedy manga!
This time, the talented spy Tasogare was given a new top-secret mission, “Operation Strix.
The purpose of the mission is “to contact Donovan Desmond, President of the National Unity Party, who threatens the peace between East and West, and to find out what he is up to”!
Such an important mission Operation [Strix (Strix)] is a combined mission, and the mission procedures are sent from WISE each time.
| Combined mission of Operation STRIX |
| At the beginning of the mission: “Start a family in a week”. ↓↓. Phase 1: “Enroll in the Eden School.” ↓↓. Phase 2: “Attend the reception and contact Desmond.” ↓↓ Phase 3: ? |
Watching a mission go through these phases makes us, the readers, feel like we’re part of the top-secret mission, and we’re excited to follow the story to see what happens next!
Point 3) The author is Mr. Tatsuya Endo, who was also an assistant for Aoeki.
In reading SPY x FAMILY, I would like you to know a little about the author of this work, Mr. Tatsuya Endo.
He is an experienced manga artist who had been working for 20 years before “SPY x FAMILY” became a big hit.
The manga artists he worked with during his time as an assistant are absolutely gorgeous!
The list of manga artists that Tatsuya Endo worked with as an assistant is as follows
| Cartoonists | Masterpiece |
| Kazue Kato | Blue Exorcist |
| Yusuke Nomura | Blue rock |
| Yoshiyuki Nishi | Mucho and Rosie’s Magic Law Office |
| Tatsuki Fujimoto | Chainsaw man |
| Yasuhiro Kano | KISS×DEATH |
| amieu | Nothing sounds better than this |
| Nao Emoto | Josee, the Tiger and the Fishes |
It seems that you have worked as an assistant not only for boys’ manga, but also for girls’ manga in all fields.
Tatsuya Endo’s drawing ability is so strong that when he was an assistant, it was said, “When Endo is around, the drawing ability of the work improves.
Yuji Garai, the author of “Jigokuraku,” which is also serialized in “JUMP+,” admits his skill as one of the “Three Musketeers whose drawings are so good that they make him fall flat!
Especially the action scenes!
