Is Spy x Family Rated Safe for Younger Audiences?

Spy x Family is rated TV-14 in the US, but this rating is often subject to interpretation, with some sources suggesting kids as young as 10 can watch it. The manga is published by Shonen Jump, which by virtue is predominantly aimed at younger male audiences aged 12-18, while not having the more mature content such as in Chainsaw Man. There is only mild language used, no nudity, and the violence is relatively tame, without excessive blood and gore.

Spy x Family is primarily a comedy series with spy elements thrown in, and despite having an assassin character in the main cast, there are very few situations deemed unsuitable for younger readers. All audiences are welcome to check out this series, with reader discretion for when situations get more intense.

While Spy x Family won’t necessarily be the most talked-about artistic achievement in manga or anime, it’s got excellent storytelling and more going for it. Cited for its excellent blend of comedy, action, and wholesome, heartwarming moments, the series’ first season has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is hailed by many publications as one of the best anime of 2022.

In terms of age rating or critical reception, you can’t go wrong in terms of a safe, approachable anime or manga to check out. It’s fun, hilarious, and engaging, while not being too overwhelming to get into thanks to a slower-paced release schedule.

Spy x Family was released on March 25, 2019 for Shonen Jump, and you can read it on their manga reader app.
