Spy x Family has another reason to celebrate, and this time, the Forger family’s success goes beyond the anime. Tatsuya Endo’s popular manga has officially claimed the top spot on Japan’s daily manga sales ranking, beating several major releases with its latest volume. The achievement also arrives at an exciting time for the franchise, which is preparing for two major anime releases in 2027.
With Spy x Family Volume 18 leading the latest Shoseki rankings and both Season 4 and a second theatrical film officially confirmed, Spy x Family is heading into another big year. The franchise’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
Spy x Family Volume 18 Tops Japan’s Shoseki Daily Manga Ranking
According to the Shoseki Daily Ranking dated November 5, 2026, Spy x Family Volume 18 secured first place among the top 25 manga releases in Japan. Released on November 4, the latest volume immediately moved ahead of some of the industry’s biggest names, including Dandadan Volume 26 and Sakamoto Days Volume 29, which occupied second and third place, respectively
The result is particularly impressive considering the competition. Blue Giant MomentumVolume 9 also entered the Top 5, while established titles such as Detective Conanand That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime appeared further down the ranking. However, none managed to displace Tatsuya Endo‘s manga from the leading position.
Volume 18’s success is another reminder of how well Spy x Family has maintained its readership since beginning serialization on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform in March 2019. What makes the manga particularly entertaining is its ability to balance completely different genres without losing its identity. Loid Forger’s dangerous assignments, Yor’s secret life as an assassin, and Anya’s hilarious attempts to keep her unusual family together give the story plenty of personality.
Even when the larger espionage plot takes a back seat, the everyday chaos surrounding the Forgers remains entertaining. Volume 18’s first-place debut is therefore more than another successful release. It demonstrates that readers remain invested in the family’s adventures, even as the franchise continues expanding into other forms of entertainment.
Spy x Family Officially Returns in 2027 With Season 4 and New Movie
The manga’s latest achievement isn’t the only exciting development for the franchise. On November 8, 2026, the official Spy x Family accounts announced that Season 4 is in production and scheduled to premiere in 2027.

The announcement confirms that the television sequel isn’t the only major project confirmed for next year. The franchise is also getting its second theatrical movie in 2027, following the success of Spy x Family Code: White. Released in December 2023, the first film earned near about $59.68 million worldwide . Details about the new movie’s title, storyline, and release date remain unannounced, as of this writing
The upcoming season also has exciting manga material to explore. Season 1 introduced the Forger family and adapted the Introduction, Doggy Crisis, and early Eden Academy arcs. Season 2 focused on the Great Cruise Adventure Arc, giving Yor a major action storyline. Meanwhile, Season 3 covered the Wheeler, Friendship Schemes, and Red Circus arcs, while also exploring Loid’s childhood.
Following the manga’s chronology, Spy x Family Season 4 is expected to move into the Term Finals and Love and War arcs. Anya’s academic performance at Eden Academy will become increasingly important to Operation Strix, while her complicated friendship with Damian adds another entertaining dimension to the story. These arcs have not been officially confirmed for the new season, but they are the natural next chapters for the anime to adapt.
The upcoming season also has plenty of opportunities to develop the Forgers’ relationships. That unusual dynamic remains the series’ biggest strength. And with Season 4 and a second theatrical movie both confirmed for 2027, Spy x Family is preparing for another exciting year.
