With the Spy x Family anime being the major hit of the Spring 2022 season, interest in the source manga was reignited. This increased demand means more print volumes in English, with Volume 8 being the next one we can expect in your favorite bookshop. So, when is the release date of Spy x Family Volume 8 in English?
About Spy x Family Manga
The Spy X Family anime and manga follows an agent codenamed "Twilight" who is tasked with spying on Donovan Desmond, leader of an extremist political party in a rival nation.
Finding no other way to get close to the reclusive politician, "Twilight" builds a rather unconventional family unit: in order to succeed in his mission, he takes the name Loid Forger and marries a woman named Yor.
The two adopt Anya, a little girl whom Loid sends to the same school as Desmond's child, in order to spy on him.
But the new spouses have no idea about each other's identities; Yor doesn't know that Loid is a spy, but she hides a secret of her own, as she turns out to be a professional assassin.
Unbeknownst to them, their adoptive daughter Anya is a mind-reader, who does not reveal her ability for fear of being abandoned. Can such a family ever work?
Spy x Family Volume 8 English Release Date
The official release date for Spy x Family Volume 8 in English is the 20th of September 2022.
Meanwhile, the manga itself is progressing rather slowly. Volume 9 came out in April 2022 in Japanese, several months after the original release of Volume 8.
Spy x Family has now gathered an incredibly loyal following, and manga fans would love to see it serialized more frequently. Of course, it's important to be patient, as creators need time and rest to produce excellent work.
With the Spy x Family anime confirmed as the most popular in Japan, it is only natural that the story is now gaining international popularity and will continue to do so for quite some time. This could mean more print volumes and even special editions in the future.
