Spy x Family manga, with a dedicated readership and fan base, rose above its status as a mere story. The series is a way to decompress – enjoy the suspense, and laughter with a tinge of heartbreak.
The creator, Tatsuya Endo's masterful blend of espionage, action, and found-family warmth has hooked readers worldwide, and each chapter feels like a mini-episode of a brilliant, ongoing series.
Spy x Family Chapter 118 is scheduled to release on Sunday, June 8, 2025. As always, time zone differences may confuse international readers.
The chapter will go live on Shueisha’s Manga Plus and VIZ Media’s official platforms, typically around 12:00 AM (midnight) JST (Japan Standard Time). While the official release date is June 8 in Japan, many international readers will get access to the chapter on June 7, depending on their location.

What to Expect from Spy x Family Chapter 118 (Speculative)

This chapter in Spy x Family took a step back from the primary storyline and served as an extra installment of the series. While it can be considered Chapter 117 in terms of sequence, it’s officially labeled as a bonus chapter in the manga. The focus was on Matthew McMahon, offering a fun yet unexpectedly emotional breather. However, this detour left fans hanging right after the intense build-up of the previous main chapter, where Yor and Hemlock were set to face off.
So while the upcoming chapter will technically be Chapter 118, it may still be listed as 117 in some sources due to the way bonus chapters are numbered. Now that the readers have a better idea about him as a character, it would be perfect for the main storyline to pick up. Readers can expect Chapter 118 to return to the high-stakes espionage and action the series is known for.
In the last chapter of Spy x Family, we saw Yor and Hemlock inches away from fighting against each other. From this next chapter, we might finally learn more about the "main base" mentioned in Chapter 117. Matthew might be the one who locates it or connects the dots that lead Yor.
Or now that there is more information about Mathew, readers can even see a convergence of Matthew’s storyline with the Forgers' missions, especially if WISE and Garden find their operations colliding.
Chapter 118 of Spy x Family might even ignore the fight completely and give readers another extra chapter, maybe focusing on Anya, as she has not made an appearance for a while. Finally, knowing how Endo likes to pace his arcs, we’re likely in for some fast-paced action, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and perhaps some subtle plot threads woven in for future payoffs.
Chapter 117 recap of Spy x Family

Chapter 117 of Spy x Family starts off charmingly, with Matthew McMahon greeting his bird, Keekee, in the morning. It’s immediately clear that Keekee is not just a pet but a treasured companion. His wife also makes an appearance. He takes his lunch, made by his wife, and leaves for work. Later on, sometime around noon, Matthew chats with a coworker about his wife’s cooking, a light-hearted conversation that humanizes the character.
Later on, the scene shifts again to him preparing meals for Keekee, indicating just how deeply he cares for the bird. Before dinner, he informs his wife that he needs to leave for a business trip. She agrees to look after Keekee while he’s gone and playfully demands he bring back a ton of souvenirs, something Matthew agrees to without hesitation.

Of course, the business trip was a mission. After completing it successfully, Matthew returns to headquarters to submit his report. He’s offered to stay for dinner by his superior, but politely declines, wanting nothing more than to get back home to his wife.
Matthew’s return home isn’t entirely smooth; his wife notices a bruise on his face and is instantly concerned. Matthew brushes it off with a vague story about a small incident, clearly trying not to worry her. Just as he’s about to finally sit down, relax, and eat, she cheerfully reminds him about the souvenirs.
