Spy x Family chapter 121, originally scheduled for August 4th, has been officially delayed. Instead of a new main episode, readers received a short extra chapter, leaving many fans surprised by the sudden schedule change.
According to a statement from author Tatsuya Endo, the postponement 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 guessing about Yor and Loid's next steps.
Why did they postpone chapter 121 of Spy x Family?
Publisher Shueisha and author Tatsuya Endo confirmed the delay 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, featuring a side story that offers a slight break in the plot's chronology.
Tatsuya Endo explained that he decided to postpone Chapter 121 due to the intense workload of finishing the next physical volume of the manga and other editorial demands. He also apologized to readers and advised them not to wait up until midnight for the release.
When will chapter 121 be released
The new confirmed release date for chapter 121 is August 18th at midnight JST in Japan. In Brazil, the release is expected to take place around noon on August 17th, due to the time difference.
This change only affects this week's chapter. Subsequent releases are expected to return to their normal schedule, provided the production team doesn't make any further adjustments.
What to expect from the next chapter
With the emotional cliffhanger left in chapter 120, anticipation for the return of the main plot is even higher. Yor finally admitted to having feelings for Loid, which could transform the duo's dynamic in the coming chapters.
Meanwhile, Loid begins to observe Yor with greater curiosity, and Anya remains the only one who knows their feelings. Chapter 121 promises to develop these emotional nuances with the humor and sensitivity already characteristic of the series.
