The Spy x Family Exhibition will open in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Sapporo and more!
SPY x FAMILY is currently one of the hottest anime in Japan. Based on the manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo, it’s an adventure comedy about an atypical family formed by Loid Forger (alias Twilight), the best spy in the world; Yor, a professional assassin named and Anya, an orphaned girl who is a telepath. Loid and Yor are oblivious to each other’s secret identity, and neither of them are aware of Anya’s power, who happens to be the only that knows what’s going on.
The manga was first published on May 23, 2019, on Shonen Jump+ and its recent adaptation into anime, released on various online platforms such as Netflix, proved to be an instant hit: a rather simple plot carried on the shoulders of very charismatic characters and peppered with a wealth of hilariously absurd situations are the ingredients that made it one of the most watched and loved animes in both Japan and abroad. Since the anime’s release, brand collaborations have appeared in after another, such as an UNIQLO T-Shirt collection, a themed cafe or a tamagotchi inspired by Anya.
It was recently announced that Spy x Family Exhibition, the special exhibition focusing on the manga series of Spy x Family will be held in Japan for during 2023-2024. The exhibition opened in 7 cities in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Kyoto, Nagoya, Kanazawa), and now is planning to open in 4 new venues.
The special exhibition will have different missions, including a keyword mission where visitors can participate and win a prize! Exclusive merchandising will also be available.

From Barcelona to Tokyo. Coffee & Adventure lover🌏☕️
I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
