Preview for the mid-season finale shared online
The TV preview for Spy x Family episode 12 was featured after the ending theme on last week’s adventure and has since been posted on social media by the series’ Japanese Twitter page.
The title of episode 12 is “Penguin Park” which tells fans that the special “Extra Mission 1” manga chapter will feature, as at least, the first part of the broadcast.
Without going too far into spoiler territory, Extra Mission 1 is one of the most beloved chapters of the Spy x Family story, which was originally published back in July 2019.
The basic premise is that after thwarting another terrorist attack, Loid is struggling to balance his work as a secret spy and his responsibilities to both Anya and Yor.
To his despair, gossip even starts to spread amongst the residents of their building that Loid has either been fired or is having an affair, which is why he spends so little time with his family.
Realising that he is dropping the ball, Loid announces that the Forgers are having another ‘Ooting’ but this time, to the Aquarium…surely nothing exciting will happen surrounded by more than 200 penguins, right?
