Well deserved. This is one of the few genuinely funny comedy mangas of recent years. The only question left is will the anime adaptation be announced this Summer or Fall?...
As a small indication of its popularity, on the site I frequent for scanlations MangaPlus titles outside the more major ones usually have very short if any comment threads for their linked chapters but SPY×FAMILY always manages to generate a wealth of discussion for any new chapters. (Might want to clarify a bit here, they don't host any scans of anything official and even remove scanlations of anything officially licensed upon request. However, MangaPlus chapters have a redirection link where the hosted material would normally be, but otherwise they're treated as normal hosted chapters, ie discussion, bookmarks, etc...) |

So it sold more than One Punch-Man?! This is really impressive, but well deserved.

Okay, it's taken a while, but I just realized that the covers always feature famous chair designs:
v1: Lloyd in Le Courbusier "Grand Confort" v2: Anya on ??? v3: Yoru on Charles and Ray Eames' "La Chaise" v4: Bando on Eero Aarnio's Ball Chair v5: Yoru's brother on Mies van der Rohe's "Barcelona" v6: "the target's" son on ??? |

Are you talking about this MangaPlus? Because they're not just some scanlated site, they're owned by Shueisha, who own Weekly Shonen Jump, Jump SQ, Young Jump etc. So these are the official translations.
This is really interesting! Correction, V6 has Fiona, V7 is Damian. According to the wikia it's: V1 - Lloyd - LC2 Petit Modèle Armchair V2 - Anya - Marshmallow Sofa V3 - Yoru - La Chaise V4 - Bond - Ball Chair V5 - Yuri - Barcelona V6 - Fiona - Heart Cone Chair V7 - Damian - Mackintosh Willow Chair Really cool touch! |

That's what I said. Instead of the normal hosted version, the site gives you a redirect link to the official translated chapter on MangaPlus, (for those chapters the 'group' is labeled MangaPlus, there might sometimes be a scanlated alternative available and for those you enter the normal reader mode...). That approach was implemented early last year if I remember correctly. |

Oh, right, sorry I misread your post. So you don't use MangaPlus, but use a site that redirects to MangaPlus. Right, I get you now. I thought you were saying MangaPlus didn't host anything official and took down officially licensed stuff and was very confused. |
