From One Piece and My Hero Academia to Jujutsu Kaisen and Tokyo Revengers, almost every popular manga has gone on a break this week. Some mangaka, like My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi, have released a volatile chapter just before the break.
Bon or Obon is a Japanese Buddhist festival where one honors the dead. The most commonly celebrated version of this festival takes place for three days around August and is taken as an unofficial public holiday.
Obon falls on August 12-15 in 2022, and most major publications have gone on a break this week.

In Summation

My Hero Academia fans are waiting for the confirmation of a death, while Tokyo Revengers fans are awaiting the continuation of a flashback. Hopefully, the upcoming chapters will do justice to the wait time.
