Jujutsu Kaisen manga faces two Breaks in April-May 2024

As stated on Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be going on hiatus twice within the next 30 days. The latest chapter, 256, was published on April 8, 2024 at 12 am JST. The following chapter will be postponed for a week, with another break scheduled for early May.

Gege Akutami’s recent chapters have been highly praised by fans, who are pleased with the current direction of the story. Despite the frequent breaks that the mangaka is known for, fans are not surprised and are accepting of this pattern. This is understandable, as the demanding nature of the job can pose health risks.

Therefore, there is a great deal of interest in the specifics of the two upcoming breaks that will occur in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga within the next month.

Upcoming Breaks for Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Following Release of Chapters 256 and 258

The release of Chapter 257 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be postponed by a week, causing a break in the series next week. This means that there will be no chapter release on April 15, 2024 in Japan and April 14, 2024 for most global audiences. The delayed chapter will instead be released on April 22, 2024 (April 21 for global regions), a week later than originally planned.

Furthermore, chapter 258 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga is scheduled to be released on April 29, 2024 (April 28 for global regions). After its release, the manga will go on its second break, resulting in no new chapter being released on May 6, 2024 (May 5 for global regions).

At the time of writing, these are the scheduled breaks for the manga. Fans do not seem affected by the break, as they appreciate the improved quality of the art in recent chapters. This is especially appreciated given the current point in the manga series. As we await the release of chapter 257, now is the ideal time to review its release details.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 258 release details

The release date for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 257 is scheduled for April 22, 2024 at 12 am JST. This means that the chapter will be accessible for reading on April 21, 2024 in many regions due to variances in time zones. The chapter is set to come out after a one-week hiatus that Gege Akutami and his team will be taking.

The most recent installment of the series can be accessed on Viz Media’s official website. Three of the most recent chapters will always be available to read for no cost. However, if fans desire to read earlier chapters, they will need to purchase a subscription to Viz Media.

The chapters will also be accessible on the MANGA Plus application and Shueisha’s website. Fans can read all the chapters for free on the application, but each chapter can only be read once. If fans want to reread a chapter, they will need to purchase MANGA Plus’ premium services.
