About
Anya's "Heh" Face or Smug Anya Face refers to a manga panel of character Anya Forger from SPY x FAMILY with a smug face and saying "Heh." Her expression has been used in redraw memes since it's print.
Origin
On July 1st, 2019, the eighth chapter of SPY x FAMILY was released[1]. In the chapter, Anya was annoyed at a boy named Damian that always bullies her, when she remembers what Yor, her mother, says to her: "when someone is being mean to her, just do a smile." Then she starts to make a smug face instead of a smile at him and says "Heh." (shown below).
