A one-shot collection from Spy x Family author Tatsuya Endo is coming this spring

Viz Media announced today that Spy x Family creator Tatsuya Endo has a collection of one shots coming this Spring titled Four Lives Remain: Tatsuya Endo Before Spy x Family. As you might have guessed from the name, it’s giving serious Tatsuki Fujimoto Before Chainsaw Man vibes and will surely give a look inside the creations of Endo before the release of the popular Spy x Family manga.

Like Tatsuki Fujimoto Before Chainsaw Man, Viz Media will be publishing the Tatsuya Endo collection. As of just a couple of months ago, the Spy x Family manga had over 35 million copies in circulation making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.

Following Viz Media’s tweet that confirmed the collection would be dark and gritty, fans have already started drawing comparisons to TISTA, a 2007 series by Endo that followed a young assassin named Tista Rockwell. If you’ve not seen it, it may be hard to picture Endo getting overly dark and gritty, but if you’ve seen TISTA, you know it’s certainly in his wheelhouse.

Four Lives Remain: Tatsuya Endo Before Spy x Family will be released in Spring 2025.
