Spy x Family chapter 121, initially scheduled for August 4th, has been officially postponed. Instead of the new episode of the main plot, readers received a short extra chapter, leaving many fans surprised by the sudden change in schedule.
According to a statement from the author Tatsuya Endo, the delay was necessary due to the production of the next manga volume and other editorial demands. The new chapter is expected to arrive on August 18th, keeping the audience in suspense about Yor and Loid's next steps.
Why was Spy x Family episode 121 delayed?
Publisher Shueisha and author Tatsuya Endo confirmed the postponement of chapter 121 through an official update. However, the Spy x Family team released the extra Short Mission 17 in place of the main chapter, offering a side story that provides a brief pause in the plot's chronology.
Tatsuya Endo explained that he decided to postpone chapter 121 due to the intense workload in finalizing the next physical volume of the manga and other editorial demands. He also apologized to readers and advised the public not to wait up until midnight for its release.
When will chapter 121 be released?
The new confirmed release date for chapter 121 is August 18th in Japan, at midnight (JST). In Brazil, the publication should take place around noon on August 17th, due to the time difference.
This change only affects this week's episode. Subsequent releases are expected to return to normal, provided no further adjustments are made by the production team.
What to expect from the next chapter
With the emotional cliffhanger left in chapter 120, the anticipation for the return of the main plot is even greater. Yor finally admitted to having feelings for Loid, which could transform the dynamic between the two in the upcoming chapters.
Meanwhile, Loid begins to observe Yor with more curiosity, and Anya remains the only one who knows the feelings of the two. Chapter 121 promises to develop these emotional nuances with the humor and sensitivity already characteristic of the work.
