Just imagine what if Shirogane is a perfectionist spy and Shinomiya Kaguya is a tsun professional killer, and they adopt an esper cute loli who can read their minds. This manga is basically that.

1) Both mangas are rom-com with several unique characters
2) In both mangas the main couple have a similar behaviour
3) Both main male characters are very hard-working
4) Both main female characters are veru innocent (at least in their attitude)
5) There are several lovey moments between the two main characters, which outcome is a funny situation

The characters in Spy x Family are a lot similar to the characters in Kaguya sama. They also give off the same vibes, although Spy x Family seems to be a bit more serious than Kaguya sama. And I don't even need to point out Anya's similarity to Chika. Lloyd and Yoru also feels like Miyuki and Kaguya. I feel like this would be as fun and wholesome as Kaguya sama, but the story is from the opposite perspective. Also, like Kaguya sama, both the protagonists can't let the other know how they truly feel, but still, 5 chapters is a little too early to make a recommendation, but I do feel like it's going to turn out like this. read more

Kaguya-sama and Spy x Family have a very similar style of humor and both involve manipulation/deception from both parties (hiding of identities/tricking the other party into falling in love)

To the people who have read Spy x Family:-
Imagine this:- a rom-com about high school cold Yor,and high school less tired Twilight each try to make the other confess their love, almost every time high school oblivious Anya, comes and ruins their plans.
To those who have read Kaguya-sama:
Imagine this:- when they graduate Shirogane becomes even more tired ,for that he became a spy , while Shinomiya becomes a less Ice-Prince like assassin, and boom, they marry (even if it's fake tho) and adapt a 6-year old mind-reading Fujiwara. and so on they (kind of) work together to look like a real family while spy Shirogane tries to complete his mission. read more

Both are some of the best animanga series out there (in my opinion) and are extremely similar in countless ways. If you like one, you'll undoubtedly love the other, I promise.

Firstly, their casts are extremely similar in vibe and design. Twilight (Loid) is basically Shirogane as an overpowered perfectionist spy and Yor is basically the less cold, assassin version of Kaguya. Twilight is just as hard-working and tired as Shirogane and Yor is just as innocent and double-natured as her respective counterpart. Anya is basically Chika, but as a mind-reading child. Both serve as comedic relief and as foils for the two main characters. Heck, even Ishigami is also kind of similar to Yuri as well. 

Secondly, both are absolutely hilarious and very unique in concept. Both shows feature a main "couple" that can't absolutely reveal the truth (feelings/identity respectively) to their love-interest. Love is War focuses a bit more on comedy, while Spy x Family has a more dark tone to it. Both are really well-written in every aspect really and never miss with their comedy.

I could really go on all day, but, I think it becomes quite obvious once you see it for yourself. Overall, as Love is War is nearing to its end, Spy x Family really feels like its spiritual successor in both quality and concept, all while remaining incredibly unique. Both are must-reads (and/or must-watches, of course) in my opinion. read more

If you enjoy Spy x Family  I really think you would enjoy Sakamoto Days. In Sakamoto Days you follow Taro Sakamoto a renowned assassin and the best in his field. But all of this changes ones he falls head over heels for his wife, retires from his profession and runs a convenience store with her. But as these things tend to go, 10 years later his skill and expertise are once again needed, and he is pushed back into the criminal world against his will. Despite that he does not break his promise to his wife, which was one of their many marriage rules :" Do not kill.” 
Throughout the entire adventure,  little by little you learn about Sakamotos past life as a famous ex-assassin.

It is a hilarious and adventures story, that gets more and more serious and suspenseful/ exciting as time goes on, but never loses its light-hearted and funny charm!  Just like Spy x Familiy the manga has many fun interesting characters, plot lines and scenes. It is just a wonderful read and makes me always look forward for the next chapter.

I would highly recommend this manga to anyone!  Especially if you're in a reading/manga slump. It starts out fun and similar to a slice of life following a retired assassin in the first few chapters, but definitely becomes more intriguing and suspenseful as time goes on!

Spy x Family and Sakamoto Days are two popular manga that share several intriguing similarities, making both of them highly engaging reads.

First, both manga excel in their unique genre combinations. Spy x Family masterfully blends action, comedy, and slice-of-life elements within the family sphere, while Sakamoto Days focused on action and comedy. Both manga deliver thrilling yet entertaining stories with a brilliant touch of humor.

Second, the protagonists in both manga have fascinating and unusual backgrounds. Loid Forger from Spy x Family is a spy who must disguise himself as the father of a fake family, whereas Sakamoto Taro from Sakamoto Days is a former hitman now living as a peaceful convenience store owner. Both characters strive to hide their violent pasts while leading more normal and peaceful lives.

Furthermore, the character relationships in both manga add to the story's appeal. In Spy x Family, the dynamic between Loid, Yor (his wife who is actually an assassin), and Anya (their adopted daughter with mind-reading ability) provides constant emotional depth and humor. In Sakamoto Days, the interactions between Sakamoto, his co-worker Shin (a telepath), and other characters around them create delightful and entertaining interactions. read more

Both have a very interesting and funny family dynamic with characters trying to hide their identity. In sakamoto days that element is played down a bit but both have a fantastic balance of action and comedy. I feel like if you like one chances are you're also gonna like the other

Both centered around family and fighting. The comedy is similar, and the action involves most of the same things (gunfights, assassins, etc.). Both also involve a character who can read minds.

While Spy x Family tends to get a little deeper, Sakomoto Days is a lighter read.

Spy x Family is what you get when you take a wholesome slice-of-life comedy manga like Yotsuba& and turn it into a cold war spy action thriller. On paper, it should not work. But holy hell it does. And the most striking common feature of both series? THEY'RE HILARIOUS.

Both of these manga are hilarious scenarios where the MCs are hiding a lot about themselves

They are both lighthearted and very funny, I recommend both.

SPY x family and The Promised Neverland feature intricate plots centered around characters navigating through a world filled with secrets and hidden agendas. In SPY x family, the protagonist builds a faux family for a mission, mirroring the strategic and suspenseful elements found in The Promised Neverland, where children uncover the dark secrets of their seemingly idyllic home. Both series skillfully blend action, suspense, and unique character dynamics, making them engaging and thrilling reads for fans of intricate storytelling.

These series are two very different genres but are similar in the facts that:
- They are both a wholesome family-centered manga
- They both have a cute young girl as one of the main characters, one who wants to help her parents, but is still a child with childish thoughts
- They both have a slightly inexperienced, slightly panicked father figure who is good at cooking
- They both have a nervous female character who may or may not have a crush on the father figure (with the exception that one of them is afraid of knives and the other is a secret assassin... and that one can cook great meals and the other can cook... accidental poison. Anyway.) read more

Mix of action and comedy with similar tone. In both manga, the main characters lead a double life, doing ordinary jobs and hiding their true identity (in Spy x family more than Gokusen) due to their connections with the underworld.
In Gokusen we have yakuza, Spy x family we have spies and assassins. 

In bothe the female leader is strong and very good at fighting. In both mang family thread is important, but presented slightly differently. In both manga takes place subtle but important romantic subplot.

Kimi no Koe addpermalink

These two stories have pretty similar elements.

The protagonists are cunning, manipulative yet sympathetic men who trust nobody but themselves to achieve their goals but who put on a charming facade to the world. Both their pasts were full of hardships that had greatly shaped them to be who they are now. 

Also, both Twilight and Kazunari get married/engaged only to further their respective purposes and they're constantly wary of getting too emotionally involved with their wives. Yet they always end up acting impulsively and letting their masks slip off because they actually care.

Like Anya, Kazunari can read minds. He had relied on this power to carry out his plans all his life but this ability is useless on his wife, so he has to learn to communicate with her in a more natural way. This happens to Twilight too, when his expert spy skills just aren't enough to understand his family. 

The wives, Yor and Nana, are earnest, kind and naive women who are keeping a secret from their husbands and both have overprotective younger brothers.

There's actually more similarities but overall both Spy x Family and Kimi no Koe are heartwarming stories about found families formed between characters who are outsiders to society and who have secrets they’re keeping from each other that could potentially tear them apart.
