Chapter 116 of Spy x Family is expected to delve into Yor Forger's next move as she prepares to explain her sudden absence during the forest mission.

Spy X Family isn't just about spy moves, here's what it's secretly teaching you
If you thought 'Spy X Family' was just another spy anime packed with slick moves, shady missions, and shadowy villains, then congratulations, you've been successfully deceived. Because while yes, there are cool disguises, top-secret missions, and the occasional explosive getaway (plus a dog that sees the future, but let's park that for a second), 'Spy X Family' is actually sneaking in lessons about emotional intelligence, family dynamics, and trust faster than you can say 'Operation Strix.'advertisementFor the unversed, 'Spy X Family' follows the story of Loid Forger (codename: Twilight), a master spy tasked with infiltrating a prestigious school to stop a national crisis. To do that, he needs a fake family. Enter: Yor, an assassin pretending to be his wife, and Anya, a telepathic child he adopts because why not? Sounds like a sitcom that accidentally wandered into the wrong genre, right? But while the premise feels like a chaotic cocktail of 'Mr & Mrs Smith' and 'The Incredibles', the show's real mission is deeper, and much sneakier. Operation: Emotional sabotage (aka heartfelt life lessons)Let's start with trust. Loid is trained to manipulate people without catching feelings, Yor kills for a living (after dropping her groceries), and Anya reads minds. None of them should trust each other, yet they do. And that's where the magic happens. You watch them slowly build a bond, fumble through misunderstandings, and genuinely start to care about each other, despite knowing it could all fall apart with one exposed secret. It's like an emotional ticking time bomb except there's emotional intelligence. Yes, really. Loid might be saving the world, but his biggest struggle? Figuring out how to talk to a six-year-old. Watching this stoic spy awkwardly navigate parent-teacher meetings and emotional tantrums is weirdly relatable. Yor, meanwhile, might be a trained killer, but she's also dealing with crippling self-doubt and the fear of not being good enough. And Anya? She's just trying to survive school without blurting out secrets she's heard in people's heads. Honestly, 'Spy X Family' does brilliantly is dismantle the idea of what a 'perfect family' should look like. This trio is built on lies and deception, but ironically, they become more functional and emotionally available than most real families. The series shows us that love and connection aren't about DNA or Hallmark moments, but about effort, protection, and the willingness to stick around, even when things get weird. And boy, do they get weird. Beneath all the fake identities and espionage, 'Spy X Family' reminds you that the strongest connections are often the most unexpected. Loid becomes a better human thanks to his fake family. Yor learns to open up. And Anya, well, Anya just wants a gold star and a peanut snack. But through them, we see how compassion, teamwork, and vulnerability can be more powerful than any spy next time you're watching 'Spy X Family' for the action, stay for the emotional trauma disguised as comedy. Because nothing says 'wholesome' like a fake family trying their best to love each other while lying through their teeth.- Ends

Liked Spy x Family? Watch these 10 anime about found families, secrets and wholesome chaos
Source: IMDB If Spy x Family won your heart with its perfect mix of comedy, covert missions, and a chaotic but lovable fake family, you're not alone. Fans love how it blends heartwarming moments with high-stakes action and genuine character growth. But what do you watch next after Loid, Yor, and Anya? Whether you loved the secret identities, the slow-burn romance, or the wild family dynamics, here are some of the best animes like Spy x Family that hit similar emotional notes while offering something fresh. 10 best animes like Spy x Family Buddy Daddies Source: IMDB If you want more 'assassins learning to be dads,' Buddy Daddies is your next stop. Two hitmen, Kazuki and Rei, end up taking care of a young girl named Miri after a mission goes sideways. It's full of found family vibes, slice-of-life humour, and emotional depth. While the premise may seem like a Spy x Family clone, it has its own unique tone and explores parenthood in a more grounded, dramatic way. The relationship between the dads and their daughter grows beautifully, and it's short enough to binge in a weekend. The Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED Source: IMDB Like Loid, Daisuke Kambe is ultra-skilled, hyper-calm, and absurdly rich. He's a detective who solves cases using money and high-tech gadgets. While this one doesn't have the family angle, it delivers slick animation, spy-level action, and a similar cool-headed protagonist. There's also a dynamic duo at its core that slowly warms up, echoing Loid's gradual bonding with his family. If you're here for stylish operations and smart writing, this one's underrated gold. Kaguya-sama: Love is War Source: IMDB If your favourite part of Spy x Family was the slow-burn romance and hilarious psychological games, Kaguya-sama is a must-watch. Instead of spies and assassins, you get two genius high schoolers trying to make the other person confess first. It's packed with dramatic inner monologues, misunderstandings, and sincere moments that sneak up on you. And yes, like Spy x Family, it also pays off the romance without dragging things forever. Great Pretender Source: Crunchyroll Criminals, cons, and emotional pasts, this globe-trotting heist anime is full of surprises. Great Pretender follows a group of con artists as they take on dangerous missions against corrupt elites. While it doesn't have the family dynamic, it nails the stylish action, secret agendas, and layered storytelling that Spy x Family fans crave. Bonus: Each arc is like a mini-movie, and the animation style is gorgeous. Barakamon Source: IMDB No spies or secret lives here, just a wholesome story of an artist trying to rediscover his passion on a remote island. What makes it feel Spy x Family-adjacent is the unexpected bond between a grumpy adult and a chaotic child. If Anya's energy was your favourite part, Naru in Barakamon will melt your heart the same way. It's all about personal growth, soft humour, and emotional healing. Usagi Drop (Bunny Drop) Source: IMDB When a man adopts his grandfather's illegitimate child, he's suddenly thrown into single parenthood. Usagi Drop is gentle, sweet, and all about the bond between a clueless adult and a wise-beyond-her-years kid, very similar to Loid and Anya. If you want more parenting-themed stories that are soft, emotional, and grounded in everyday moments, this is a top-tier pick. Princess Principal Source: IMDB For fans of the spy side of Spy x Family, this all-female steampunk series is packed with undercover missions, secret identities, and emotional stakes. It follows a group of schoolgirls who are actually spies during a cold war–like setting. With tight pacing, plot twists, and clever disguises, it's like the gritty, mission-focused cousin of Spy x Family, minus the comedy but full of espionage. Detective Conan (Case Closed) Source: IMDB If you loved Anya's telepathic twists and Loid's mission logic, Detective Conan delivers that weekly case-solving rush. While it's much longer and more procedural, Conan's double life and the way he balances school, crime-fighting, and secrets will scratch the same itch. There's also subtle romance and long-running tension that mirrors Loid and Yor's dynamic. My Home Hero Source: IMDB This one's darker, but the theme is close: a father trying to protect his family at all costs. After killing his daughter's abusive boyfriend, an ordinary man is pulled into a deadly spiral of crime and cover-ups. It's more thriller than comedy, but the lengths a parent will go to protect their child hit the same emotional notes. Think Spy x Family, but more intense and realistic. Hinamatsuri Source: IMDB A psychic girl randomly drops into a yakuza member's life and chaos follows. Hinamatsuri is hilarious, heartwarming, and surprisingly touching. Like Spy x Family, it balances supernatural powers, family dysfunction, and odd domestic moments in a way that feels oddly relatable. If Anya meets yakuza sounds like a mood, this one's for you. Spy x Family isn't just an action comedy,it's a genre-bending anime that mixes espionage with emotional warmth. And luckily, there are plenty of other anime that do the same in their own way. Whether you want more undercover agents, found-family feels, or wholesome parenting chaos, this list has something you'll love. Try one, and you just might find your next favourite series.
