Spy x Family previously had its fourth and first volumes ranked 5th and 7th on the May best-seller list. During that month, Chainsaw Man’s volume 10 and Jujutsu Kaisen’s volume 15 ranked second and third respectively.
The popular action-comedy manga by Tatsuya Endo has been recently nominated for the 2022 Will Eisner Comic Awards under the category Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia.
