One Piece manga enters long hiatus from publication

While it is in the middle of the climax of its Egghead arc, the One Piece manga will experience an unexpected publication break of several weeks.

One Piece is coming to the end of its Egghead arc, and the scenes have reached new heights. Readers were able to see the true awakened forms of the Five Elders as the entire Gorosei reunited, Zoro used a brand new attack, and the giants came for Luffy to take him to the Erbaf arc, while Vegapunk prepares to reveal “the truth about the world.”

And as chapter 1111 looms on the horizon to complete incredible events and drawings from 1110, bad news has just fallen for fans: One Piece is preparing to enter an unexpected break, much longer than the previous ones. We will explain everything to you.

One Piece manga goes on hiatus for several weeks

After Chapter 1111, One Piece’s release will take a first three-week break, and then a second one-week break directly after Chapter 1112.

Indeed, chapter 1111 of One Piece will be released on March 25, 2024, while 1112 is expected for April 22. Weekly Shonen Jump will continue its publications independently of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, at least until chapter 1112: after which, it will be the turn of the magazine to suffer an interruption in its publications on the occasion of Golden Week, explaining then the manga’s second break.

This is the longest downtime in the release of One Piece chapters since June and July 2023, when Eiichiro Oda stopped working for four weeks following eye surgery. At the time, One Piece had just exited Wano and entered the final saga. The reason behind this new break has not yet been announced, but the author certainly needs time to handle other important points on his schedule.

Because the latter has always been on all fronts for his flagship work: production of season 2 of the adaptation at Netflix has started, and he is once again responsible for supervising the live-action series. In addition, alongside this additional work was added the sad news of the death of Akira Toriyama, author of Super Ball, for whom Eiichiro Oda published a poignant tribute revealing deep sadness.

However, the break has not yet started: fans will therefore still be able to discover chapter 1111 of One Piece on March 25, 2024, as planned.
