Synopsis
We all have a side of ourselves that we don't show to anyone.

It was a time when the nations of the world were engaged in a fierce underground information war. Ostania in the East and Westalia in the West have been in a state of cold war for over a decade.

"Twilight", a highly skilled spy from the The Westalia Intelligence Services' Eastern-Focused Division ("W.I.S.E."), is assigned a top-secret mission to investigate the war plans of Donovan Desmond, the president of the East's National Unity Party, a dangerous man who threatens peace between East and West.

The name of the mission is Operation "Strix".

The aim of the mission is to "start a family within a week and infiltrate the prestigious school that Desmond's son attends."

However, the daughter "Twilight" adopts is a psychic who can read minds, and his wife is an assassin! For their mutual benefit, the three become a family and live together all while hiding their true identities.

Will the peace of the world be entrusted to this tentative family?

"My name is Atsumi Tanesaki and I will be voicing Anya Forger. I can't tell you how many times I have been so moved by her cuteness and how many times she has made me laugh so hard I could hold my stomach while I read the original story. I am so happy and honored that I still can't believe it, but I will play my favorite girl with care and devotion. I will do my best to deliver something that is "exciting..!!". Thank you for your support!!!"

- Atsumi Tanezaki (Anya Forger)

"I am filled with great joy, fun, and excitement to be a member of the "SPY x FAMILY" family, which is loved by everyone. I will do my best in dubbing so that I can create a wonderful Yor-san, including both the surface and hidden side of the character. I can't wait for the recording...! Please enjoy the broadcast!"
