The special edition of volume 8 of Spy x Family will be released in Japan on November 4 and feature four straps featuring new illustrations drawn by the manga creator. The limited-edition version will only be available on a pre-order basis from May 17 for 1,980 yen (US$18.11). 

 

 

Spy x Family is the first series that is serialized on the digital Shonen Jump+ platform to hit the 10 million copies milestone since the platform opened, and is released in Japan every two weeks. Viz Media’s Shonen Jump app is releasing the chapters in English as they’re released in Japan, describing the series as such:
