Chapter 129 Delayed – Fans Reaction As Spy x Family Chapter 129 of the manga series was about to release, and fans were preparing themselves for more exciting information from Feb 15–16, however they did not get what they had hoped for as the coveted chapter has unfortunately been delayed.
So this abrupt hiatus has been cause for discussion and speculation all over the fan communities with people wondering why we are taking a break and when we will get our next chapter already.
One of the most well-respected manga series in recent history, Spy x Family has captivated audiences worldwide for its combination of espionage thrills, heartfelt family drama and energetic storytelling courtesy creator Tatsuya Endo. … but fans wanting to see the end of Loid Forger’s most recent mission were left waiting.
📅 What Went Down In Spy x Family Chapter 129?
Spy x Family 129 chapter was to be released on February 15, 2026 (or Japan’s local time) on official platforms such as Shōnen Jump+ and MangaPlus. But the official dates on some sites proved to be false, because the chapter did not come out as it was supposed to.
The creator Tatsuya Endo took to social media and apologized fans for the abrupt delay and requested them to understand that he’d be taking a short breather in regards of serialization. There wasn’t too much explanation that accompanied the announcement, but it’s illustrative of the type of pressure managing a production set as intense as one for the likes of one of the world’s most-read comic serials.
⏳ Why was the Spy x Family Manga on Hiatus?
Manga is not like anime or other seasonal entertainment where content can take up to a year to produce, manga gets created under an extremely tight deadline from the creator and his or her team. As such, Spy x Family usually debuts new chapters once every 2 weeks and heads over to the customary pace for release. When that rhythm is broken, particularly abruptly, it can be jarring for fans.
Although Endo hasn’t elaborated as to why he/she decided to take a short break there are some reasons why mangaka occasionally go on a hiatus.
Recharge creatively
Keep a high level of quality and attention to detail
Avoid burnout or rushed storytelling
These breaks are quite common in the industry, even at the highest level of TV series. They’re often short, but their very existence is noticeable in a world where fans consume new content at an astonishing pace.
📌 When Will Chapter 129 Get Released?
While Endo confirmed the delay, fans haven’t been completely left in the dark. Community consensus and the release schedule suggests that Chapter 129 will be released around March 1, 2026.
This new date leaves the creative team with about three weeks more than they anticipated, longer than normal, but yes — forgivably long considering the impromptu break. If you are following this chapter, then you will find the latest official sources on your favorite platforms Shōnen Jump+ and MangaPlus, get live release alerts as soon as the chapter hits the internet.

The drama about the delay isn’t simply because of the timing. Chapter 128 left us on quite the cliffhanger, which included:
The Forgers in an uncomfortable position
