The official guide to the hit manga Spy x Family!
The intimate secrets of the Forger family are revealed in this ultimate behind-the-scenes guide! Packed with character details, never-before-seen illustrations, in-depth interviews with creator Tatsuya Endo, and much more, this is a must-have for fans and collectors alike.
Includes behind-the-scenes details covering the first nine volumes of the hit manga, as well as tribute illustrations from sixteen artists, including Hajime Isayama (Attack on Titan), Yuji Kaku (Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku), and Kazue Kato (Blue Exorcist)!
My Review:
I had a great time reading this guide, getting those interviews with other creators, the tribute illustrations, and all this collected information of the series to this point! And I always want more, to deepen my understanding, and this definitely gave me that!
Going in, I wasn't sure when the best point would be to read it, so I put it at the end, when I got it from the library. But if there's a choice, then after volume 9, since this was published after that, and events in the following volumes, like learning more about Loid's past and why he became a spy, haven't happened yet.
This has a bunch of information, from character bios and character designs. The recap of the episodes with some comments from the characters, as well as later on, the notes from Tatsuya Endo and his editor, Shihei Lin on the episodes, was interesting to read. The piece of information that I found the most interesting, was the chairs for the covers of the volumes, and what famous chair was chosen and why, and that the things under or behind the chair are what they're trying hide. Loved that!
For some reason, I thought that the Shopkeeper as a lady, not a guy, and it took reading this one where they refer to the character as he and him, so yeah, good to know. So just learning that was a great result of me reading this guide!

Loved reading this guide, and I can't wait to read more in the series!
