So.... I want to know why so many people like it. I only read the first volume and I thought is fine, nothing crazy. The main trio seems pretty cool, especially the spy dude and his "wife", but the story doesn't look that impressive nor complex. It looks like the type a story a 14 years old would enjoy. Is there something that i am missing? Or maybe later it gets so much better?

Well It's nothing complex nor special but what's captivating about this series is that it fills with some wholesomeness and action-packed in one standalone story that's something rare in a fiction.

It wasn't meant to be complex and not every story needs to be! As a manga it's a kind of unique one imo, which you don't read every day, set during Cold war about an unorthodox family hiding dangerous secrets from each other. One would think it's serious af but in reality it's just wholesome! And it gets better, author blends action and comedy with some drama really well!

I think the character's relationship with eachother and the premise is what makes this manga. The appeal isnt about the story but the fam.

So, I have been asking the same question myself really lol. Now I don't get me wrong I like the series, but I cannot see how some people call this a masterpiece I really do not see that in my opinion. I do not think the manga does anything great in my opinion, but I will say it does a lot of things good, so it is not a bad series. Although, from the hype I have been seeing about the series recently prior to the release of the anime I think it may be on the verge of possibly being overrated in my opinion.

Everything is overrated. Even the newer series is already overhyped like JJK for instance and overhyped doesn't mean it's bad, the majority of others likes it but their opinions remains subjective and so circulation for upcoming series like this and Chainsaw Man is valuable in sells and success in implementing it and because of that, series like these will always get plenty of hype from others so it's clearly something that's not new for everyone, literally everyone here knows that whatever adaptation will come, it'll be overrated due to how valuable the series is in general in terms of any aspects.

I don't think it's necessary for a series to have a good and complex story to be good honestly.
It's entertaining and cute, and I just enjoy it as it's a good slice of life type of series.

So, I do not agree that everything is overrated I think there are plenty of anime and manga which do not fall into that category in my opinion. However, I do agree with your point that overhyped does not mean bad like the example you mentioned with JJK which I do believe is a good series but is somewhat overhyped. Also, you are correct in the fact that since similar to Chainsaw Man and JJK, Spy x Family could become overrated due to how valuable the series is. I was just making the point that I do not see Spy x Family as a great manga, but rather a good one which I do somewhat enjoy reading. Although, I keep seeing people call it a great series which I personally disagree with this opinion with all due respect.

Ah I see where you're coming from and that's why opinions remain subjective nowadays, like it or not, the best or not the best, that's on you :)

Yeah, I agree with you because I can't think of any better wholesome comedy manga either, but I would not say that makes it a masterpiece in my opinion but rather just a good manga.

Also, I will say that I do not know that many wholesome comedy manga in general, so even if there is one better than Spy x Family, I probably wouldn't have heard of it lol.

"It looks like the type a story a 14 years old would enjoy."
You might be surprised to know that there are many adults who love this manga. In Japan it's read by people of all ages, that's why it's so popular there (heck, even the singer LiSA is a big fan of the manga)
And seeing your tastes you're not one to talk either.
