SPY x FAMILY synopsis

For the agent known as "Twilight", no order is too high when it comes to peace. As Westalis' master spy, Twilight works tirelessly to prevent extremists from starting a war with neighboring Ostania. For his final mission, he must investigate Ostania politician Donovan Desmond, who is infiltrating his son's school: the prestigious Eden Academy. Thus the agent faces the most difficult task of his career: getting married, having a child and playing family.

Twilight, or "Loid Forger," quickly adopts the humble orphan Anya to play the role of a six-year-old daughter and a potential student at Eden Academy. As a woman, she meets Yor Briar, a distracted office worker who needs the wrong partner to impress her friends. Loid isn't the only one with a hidden nature, however. Yor is actually the deadly assassin "Thorn Princess" and for her the marriage with Loid creates the perfect cover. Now, Anya is not the ordinary girl she appears to be; She is an esper, the product of secret experiments that enable her to read minds. Despite discovering her true identity, Anya is happy that her new parents are cool secret agents! Of course she would never tell them. That would ruin the fun.

Under the guise of "The Forgers," the spy, assassin, and esper must act as families as they carry out their own plans. Although these liars and outsiders only play a part, they soon discover that the family is much more than blood relatives.
