Fans eagerly awaiting Spy x Family Chapter 124 will have to wait a little longer, as the series is officially on a short hiatus. Tatsuya Endo, the creator of Spy x Family, is taking a well-deserved break following the release of Chapter 123 and its special Halloween-themed illustration.
The next installment, Spy x Family Chapter 124, is now confirmed to release on Sunday, November 9, 2025, after a one-month delay. While it’s disappointing for fans who’ve been on edge since the cliffhanger in Mission 123, the break is a positive sign that Endo is prioritizing his health and the long-term quality of the series.
A recap of Spy x Family Chapter 123

Spy x Family Chapter 123 was released in two parts, and it focused on Anya and her shenanigans in school. These chapters follow Anya, along with Connie, Tertius, Arnold, Damian, and a few others, set out to uncover the truth behind the spooky legend. The real highlight was Damian’s surprising act of bravery, carrying Anya out of danger when she fainted from psychic overload.
It was another step forward in his slow-burn development and hinted again at his hidden affection for her. The chapter ended with a comedic but intriguing cliffhanger: rumors that Henry Henderson, one of the most respected Eden teachers, might be getting fired.
Fans are still debating whether this is connected to the haunted schoolhouse incident or a larger plotline involving the mysterious Demetrius, a Cline Hall student who could tie into deeper academy secrets.
Why did the delay happen

Fans initially expected a full chapter that week, but the illustration confirmed that there would be no new story content. According to Spy x Family’s official updates and fan reports on Reddit, Tatsuya Endo is taking a one-month break from publication.
The announcement came shortly after the release of the “Special Illustration 8,” which featured the Forger family and other main characters dressed in Halloween costumes with Anya as a witch, Yor as a grim reaper, Loid as Frankenstein’s monster, and Damian as a vampire. And all of them are looking adorable.
The anime is currently adapting some of the manga’s most beloved arcs, giving the community time to breathe between manga chapters while reliving classic Forger family moments on screen.
What to expect from Spy x Family Chapter 124 (Speculative)

When Spy x Family Chapter 124 returns, readers are expecting the story to pick up right where Mission 123 left off, with the rumor about Mr. Henderson’s possible dismissal. This plotline has major implications for Eden Academy and could tie back to ongoing themes of integrity, morality, and deception that run through the series.
There’s also growing speculation that the “ghost” seen by Anya and her friends might not have been supernatural at all. Many fans theorize that the figure was actually Demetrius, a top Imperial Scholar from Cline Hall. The manga has consistently delivered high-quality storytelling, and a one-month break ensures that Endo can continue doing so without compromising his health.
Additionally, fans are hoping for more development between Damian and Anya in Spy x Family Chapter 124 after their unexpectedly sweet moment in the haunted schoolhouse. The series has been carefully balancing its comedic and emotional beats, and Spy x Family Chapter 124 may continue that tone while pushing the overarching narrative forward.
