Chapter 139 of SPY x FAMILY is out on Shonen Jump+, but it arrives in two parts. Author Tatsuya Endo explained on X that the page count grew too large, so he split the chapter, with the next installment carrying a smaller page count.
To mark the update, Endo posted an illustration of Anya and the family dog Bond melting in the summer heat. Anya appears fully melted while Bond barely holds his shape, prompting fans to joke that Bond had turned into white butter or liquid. One commenter noted that even Anya's popsicle stick was melting.
On August 4, Endo shared a second illustration featuring Anya and Becky over a photo of a fishing pond. The pond is tied to Nogizaka46, appearing in a music video by former member Nanase Nishino and in a TV location shoot with Asuka Saito and YOASOBI's Ikuta Lilas. Fans recognized the spot and thanked Endo for the reference.
