As the second season of the anime is currently airing, the manga written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo – SPY x FAMILY continues to gain popularity. Recently, the author has announced the release of a new chapter titled “Anya’s Mission 11”.
Typically, these kinds of chapters feature short stories that are not directly related to the main storyline and often involve supporting characters from the anime. However, the new chapter will focus on a story involving Anya Forger. In this chapter, Anya asks Loid to put up a nameplate with her name on it in her room, but she mistakenly writes it as “ANIA”.
Loid notifies her that the name she wrote is incorrect, so the nameplate gets changed to “ANYA”, and the chapter concludes with Anya pondering her real name.
But that’s not all; Tatsuya Endo has also included an advertisement image introducing the manga featuring Anya Forger. The little girl is seen holding a fluffy animal, pointing to what seems to be the door of a room where Loid finds Anya.
This is certainly a surprising twist for fans of SPY x FAMILY, especially since this chapter will introduce a new story arc featuring Anya Forger. So what will happen next in the manga? Fans have already begun to speculate about it and are sharing many personal opinions.
Some comments include:
– Something feels ominous is approaching.
– I wonder how Loid and Yor will react when they discover the truth behind Anya.
– The expression on the girl’s face when she wrote ANIA is so precious, but it seems they have picked up the colors again when she realizes she is actually ANYA. I’m not ready for what’s coming next; I’m sure Bond will also play an important role.
– Everyone should hold on to their seats and prepare for an emotional journey.
– Could ANIA really be the name written on the girl’s nameplate when she is still a test subject?
– My theory is that Anya’s code name in the lab is AN-1A, and she thinks she is ANIA.
– Loid and Yor surely have some explanations to make; it is clear that Anya must be the next subject.
And it seems that’s not all, as the author Tatsuya Endo has shared an exclusive illustration through his official Twitter account featuring Anya Forger. Previously, SPY x FAMILY had begun its main story arcs with distinctive illustrations as well. This also confirms that Anya Forger will be the main character.
As we prepare to understand how Anya’s name was chosen and discover this storyline, we must look into Anya’s past.
In Spy X Family, Anya is a 6-year-old girl with strong telepathic abilities, allowing her to read the thoughts of others and even those of animals. What’s interesting is that Anya never reveals her abilities, often hiding her powers. The manga also implies that Anya has had to undergo several rigorous scientific experiments that may have enhanced her telepathic ability.
Spy X Family is set against the backdrop of a war-torn world, so it’s no surprise that the main factions are eager to capture unique “assets” for espionage purposes. Regardless of how Anya’s abilities are portrayed, they could serve as the primary objective of the various factions involved in this conflict.
The girl has also been nurtured many times from the boy’s perspective, but after that, she often returns to her own reality. Anya seems to have little knowledge of her family’s true nature, but the thoughts of her past have made her shed tears.
Regardless of the source of Anya’s powers, the storyline of Spy X Family is heading toward a rather dark and emotional narrative. If all the fan theories about the characters are accurate, it seems that the upcoming chapter will focus on how Anya’s powers were manipulated by the Desmond family.
