The Spy x Family manga is closing in on a new circulated copies milestone, but how many copies has the series sold worldwide?
Spy x Family has undoubtedly been one of the most consistent series of 2022, but the anime has been allowed to run thanks to the popularity of Tatsuya Endo’s original manga series.
Releasing biweekly chapters in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ application, the series has become a fan-favorite story since its introduction in 2019.
Now, three years later, the Spy x Family manga sales are barrelling towards a new milestone for globally circulated copies.

The series has sold more than 27 million copies in total, making it the biggest-selling popular work in “Shonen Jump+” history.” – Abema TV.
Spy x Family quickly became a fan-favorite manga series after making its debut in March 2019.
However, the series has experienced a meteoric rise through the manga sales charts since the anime premiered back on the 2022 Spring broadcasting slate, passing the following milestones:
- With the release of Volume 2 in October 2019 – 800,000 copies sold
