Spy x Family Creator Announces Manga Delay

Spy x Family creator Tatsuya Endo announced a surprising delay for Chapter 88.

By Nick Valdez

Spy x Family's manga missed out on the newest chapter update over this past weekend, and the creator behind it all surprised fans with the announcement of a major delay! Spy x Family's manga just recently worked its way through the climax of one of its biggest arcs yet that nearly ruined Operation Strix, and Twilight and the other members of WISE are still working their way through the fallout of everything that happened through the mission. But as the wind down of the arc continues, the creator behind it all announced there's going to be a bit of a wait before the next chapter. 

Spy x Family Chapter 88 of the manga was previously slated to release on Monday, October 2nd in Japan (and thus available on October 1st in international territories), but series creator Tatsuya Endo surprised fans on social media with the announcement that there would be a delay for the next chapter until Monday, October 16th due to the creator not being able to submit the manuscript in time. Apologizing to fans for the wait, Endo also shared a sketch of Twilight and Nightfall while Franky begs for forgiveness. Check it out:

Posing as a loving husband and father, he'll infiltrate an elite school to get close to a high-profile politician. He has the perfect cover, except his wife's a deadly assassin and neither knows each other's identity. But someone does, his adopted daughter who's a telepath."
