Warning: This article contains spoilers from the Spy x Family manga! Spy x Family is a beloved spy action series on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform, praised for its slice-of-life blend in a complex story with tragic undertones. The anime adaptation wrapped up its latest Season 3 in December last year, and fans still await updates on a sequel season. While Season 4 might take a while, the manga is currently in a crucial phase, especially after the Term Break Arc revealed a major plot twist about the main antagonist, Donovan Desmond. The manga has already revealed his powers along with the reason he became a recluse. He is also the prime target of Operation Strix and continues to remain one of the most mysterious characters in the series. Even after all this time, Loid Forger is nowhere near close to completing his mission.

However, the story keeps giving him more challenges than ever as he navigates his feelings towards his fake family. During his meeting with the agents of the Secret Police from the State Security Service, the manga again highlights his conundrum of keeping his identity hidden. Before the story introduces a new challenge for him, the manga creator, Tatsuya Endo, announces a break after the release of Chapter 136. Since the manga runs on a biweekly schedule, fans will have to wait for a month before a new chapter. If another unexpected event doesn’t happen, Spy x Family Chapter 137 will be released on July 5th, 2026, in the official app of Manga Plus.
Spy x Family Continues Loid’s Dilemma Over His Family
While Operation Strix is nowhere close to being wrapped up yet, the manga has shown huge progress on the relationship between Yor and Loid. Yor already revealed she is in love with Loid even though she knows they’re only in a fake marriage for their convenience. On the other hand, Loid has always tried to focus more on his mission. However, things changed in Chapter 128 when he didn’t hesitate to put his life on the line for Yor.
He still believes she is an ordinary civilian, and before he knew it, he shielded her from gunpoint. However, this turned out to be an uncharacteristic move from an experienced spy like Twilight, who knows the stakes of his mission. Operation Strix needs to be a success so another horrifying war won’t break out between Westalis and Ostania. However, that didn’t stop him from prioritizing Yor’s safety.
His actions have already forced him to consider his confusing feelings, which he again experienced after the tiresome gathering with the Secret Police. Yor’s brother, Yuri, who is always skeptical of Loid, also acknowledged his feelings, which isn’t easy to fake in front of a member of the Secret Police. However, the story will have several twists and turns before Loid finally realizes what his fake family means to him.
