I’ve heard the author feels unfulfilled by Spy X Family because it isn’t a story he actually wanted to tell but instead one he thought would be popular (which is understandable given how quickly unpopular mangas can be cancelled). It’s been very successful which is great for them but it also has to sting a little knowing how some of his peers have reached similar success with very weird and personal stories like Chainsaw Man and Dandadan.
I’ve heard the theory, that Spy X Family was specificaly created to promote having kids and to stop the demographic crisis in Japan
