Spy x Family

by Tatsuya Endo

A spy who must build a fake family for his mission. An assassin who needs a husband to maintain her cover. A telepath who just wants parents who won't abandon her. None of them know each other's secrets — except the kid, who knows everything and can tell no one. Tatsuya Endo's Spy x Family is a warm, hilarious Cold War comedy about the world's most dangerous household accidentally becoming a real family.
