History
Before making SPY x FAMILY, Tatsuya Endo published three one-shots for Jump Square; “Rengoku no Ashe”, “Ishi ni Usubeni, Tetsu ni Hoshi” which was written about Medusa’s child, and “I SPY”. Tatsuya Endo's editor Shihei Lin noted that SPY x FAMILY takes on the strengths of these titles. Lin said that reception from the editorial department was so good that its serialization was practically decided before the actual meeting.

The initial draft was given a working title of "Spy Family" written in Japanese characters before they decided to put the name in English characters with a cross between the words, inspired by the manga series HUNTER x HUNTER.

On September 19, 2019, Viz Media announced that starting September 22, 2019, they would be officially be translating the series to English and release it in Viz's Shonen Jump. Viz Media announced the release of translated physical volumes for Summer 2020.

On June 4, 2021, the first 3 volumes of the digitally colored version of the manga were released in Japan. Volumes 4 to 6 were released on November 4, 2021.

On March 3, 2022, a set containing the first 3 volumes as well as a bookmark for each volume's cover character was released in Japan.
