Spy x Family is one of the biggest hits from Shueisha that debuted on the Jump+ platform when the manga by Tatsuya Endo first launched. The manga has become increasingly popular over the past few years, especially with the successful adaptation into anime.
Manga Spy x Family recently made waves as chapter 107 was released in October.
Unfortunately, in a recent update from the publisher shared on social media, it was confirmed that the series will be on hiatus. This announcement also revealed the serious health condition of the author, Tatsuya Endo, which means the manga will not return until the end of this year. However, there will still be one more chapter before the series concludes in 2024.
The health condition of the author of Spy x Family is a primary concern regarding the manga’s hiatus
As Shueisha announced on their official X account: “Regarding the next update of SPY×FAMILY, due to the poor health of Endo Tatsuya-sensei, the manga will be on hiatus starting December 9. We apologize to everyone who has been waiting for this release as it is necessary for the author to take a break.”
Spy x Family was scheduled to return on December 9 prior to this hiatus announcement; however, new information has now confirmed that the manga will return with chapter 108 on December 23. The announcement stated: “The next update will be scheduled for December 23. Thank you all very much for your support!”
The author’s health is a crucial aspect that fans are concerned about with any manga series. This concern has grown in recent years, as many manga creators face health issues or burnout. Reports even suggest that many mangaka often have shorter life expectancies than average. Therefore, the author’s health is particularly important in considerations for the next chapter of the story.
Manga Spy x Family will continue with new chapters in 2025. The anime has also announced that part 3 is currently in production, but the release date for the new episodes has yet to be confirmed at this time.
