Last week, fans of Spy X Family were super excited, waiting for Chapter 117 to drop. But instead of the new chapter they were hoping for, they got a surprise bonus mini-chapter instead. That left a few people feeling a bit disappointed, like “Hey, where’s the real story?” But don’t worry, there’s no reason to freak out. The official release date for the actual Chapter 117 has been announced, so the wait won’t be too long.

Spy X Family: What happened in the bonus chapter, Short Mission 16?

This bonus story takes place before the big Princess Lorelei mission we’ve been following. It focuses on Matthew and his wife, Maureen. The chapter starts with Maureen giving Matthew a little tough love because she catches him just chilling before work. After making sure he’s done all his chores, she hands him lunch to take along.

Then we see Matthew at city hall, where his coworker Dominic jokes about how good Maureen’s cooking must be. They have a fun little chat about food, which adds a nice bit of lightheartedness.

Back at home, Matthew feeds his pet, Keekee, and has a quiet moment reflecting on his life and the tough things he’s done. Before he heads off on his mission, he asks Maureen to take care of Keekee. After the mission, Matthew comes back injured but tough as ever, refusing to quit even though Maureen worries about him. She cooks dinner for him, he compliments her cooking, and gives her some souvenirs as a sweet gesture.

What’s expected in Spy X Family Chapter 117?

So, what can we expect from the real Chapter 117 when it finally comes out? It looks like the action will pick up with Yor facing off against a guy named Hemlock while trying to keep an elk safe. Even though Hemlock is aggressive, Yor probably won’t seriously hurt him because she’s focused on the mission.

Meanwhile, Matthew might find where the poachers are hiding and gather important information about what they’re up to and who’s leading them. He could send his pet Keekee to call for backup. The tension will rise as more poachers or border agents show up, making the situation even more dangerous.

This might mean the team has to split up, some will work on rescuing the elk, others will try to take down the enemies, and some will protect the crucial info about the illegal poaching happening across the border.

When will Spy X Family Chapter 117 be available to read?

Originally, Chapter 117 was supposed to come out on Monday, May 26, 2025. But with the surprise bonus chapter being released instead, the new date is now June 9, 2025, at midnight JST (Japanese Standard Time).

If you’re reading from outside Japan, you can expect it to show up on Sunday, June 8around 8 am Pacific Time, 11 am Eastern Time, or 3 pm GMT, though this might shift a little depending on where you live.

You’ll be able to read the chapter on official sites like Grab and the Shonen Jump+ app. Viz Media also has the series available, but you’ll need a subscription to get full access.

So, while the wait was a bit longer than expected, fans don’t have to worry, Chapter 117 is on its way, and it sounds like it’s going to bring some intense action and big moments.
