Netflix is listing the television anime of Tatsuya Endō's SPY×FAMILY manga for release in India on April 9.
Netflix describes the anime:
A spy, an assassin and a telepath come together to pose as a family, each for their own reasons, while hiding their true identities from each other.
The anime will premiere on the TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TVQ Kyuushuu channels on April 9 at 11:00 p.m. (10:00 a.m. EDT), and it will also run on Niigata TV 21, TV Shizuoka, RCC Chugoku Broadcasting, and BS TV Tokyo. The anime will run for two separate cours (quarters of a year).
Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Mobile Suit Gundam UC, Rurouni Kenshin, Getbackers, 2019 Dororo) is directing the anime at Wit Studio and CloverWorks. Kazuaki Shimada (The Promised Neverland) is designing the characters, and [K]NoW_NAME (Fairy gone, Dorohedoro, Sakura Quest) is the music producer.
Shueisha is offering the manga in English on its MANGA Plus service. Viz Media added the manga to its app as part of its Shonen Jump subscription in September 2019. The company is also publishing the manga in print.
Shueisha published the manga's eighth compiled volume in Japan in November 2021 and will publish the ninth volume on April 4.
A novel for the franchise by Aya Yajima titled SPY×FAMILY: Kazoku no Shōzō (A Portrait of a Family) debuted in July 2021.
The manga won first place in the web manga category of Kadokawa's Da Vinci magazine and streaming service Niconico's Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards in August 2019. The manga ranked at #2 on the comic rankings for Da Vinci's 20th annual "Book of the Year" list in December 2021. The manga was also nominated for the 14th Manga Taisho awards and the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards' Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia category last year.
