Synopsis
Everyone has a part of themselves they cannot show to anyone else.

At a time when all nations of the world were involved in a fierce war of information happening behind closed doors, Ostania and Westalis had been in a state of cold war against one another for decades.

The Westalis Intelligence Services' Eastern-Focused Division (WISE) sends their most talented spy, "Twilight," on a top-secret mission to investigate the movements of Donovan Desmond, the chairman of Ostania's National Unity Party, who is threatening peace efforts between the two nations.

This mission is known as "Operation Strix."

It consists of "putting together a family in one week in order to infiltrate social gatherings organized by the elite school that Desmond's son attends."

"Twilight" takes on the identity of psychiatrist Loid Forger and starts looking for family members. But Anya, the daughter he adopts, turns out to have the ability to read people's minds, while his wife, Yor, is an assassin! With it being in each of their own interests to keep these facts hidden, they start living together while concealing their true identities from one another.

World peace is now in the hands of this brand-new family as they embark on an adventure full of surprises.

"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!"

- Saori Hayami (Yor Forger)
