Shonen Jump goes on break: new release dates for One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Black Clover and Mashle

According to the release schedule on Manga Plus, Weekly Shonen Jump will be taking a break this week. There will be no chapters released on December 26 for all Weekly Shonen Jump serializations. This includes One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Black Clover, Dr Stone, Mashle, and more.

Here is a detailed list of which titles will be delayed and which titles will release this week.

Next release date and time for all major Shonen Jump titles

It was rumored earlier this week that some of Shonen Jump’s biggest titles might be on break on December 26. Manga Plus recently confirmed this. Shueisha’s Jump Festa 2022 was held on December 18 and 19, and in lieu of the convention, Weekly Shounen Jump has postponed all of its serialization.

However, the monthly serializations and manga chapters released on Shonen Jump + are still said to keep to their schedules at the time of writing.

Weekly Shounen Jump

All Weekly Shonen Jump titles are on break this week. However, next week, instead of Sunday, January 2, 2022, they will come out on Monday, January 3, 2022 (January 4 for some regions).

Below is a list of the upcoming chapters for all major Weekly Shonen Jump titles, as well as a few up-and-coming series that readers might enjoy.

Shounen Jump+

All the manga serialized digitally on Shueisha’s online platform Shonen Jump+ will be keeping to their regular release schedule.

Monthly releases

All of Shueisha’s Monthly releases will keep to their schedule as of yet. It has not yet been disclosed if they will take a break on their next issue. The three most popular titles on the monthly release schedule are listed below. All of them will be released on December 20.

Release time for different regions

The chapters will be officially available at the following international times on their respective release dates:

Where to read

All Shonen Jump titles are available on Manga Plus and Viz.com. However, only the first 3 and latest 3 chapters can be read for free on either platform. The exceptions to this are Kaiju No. 8 and Ayashimon, all of the chapters of these two manga are available for free on Manga Plus.

Jump Festa 2022 dominated the Animanga world this week, and it seems prudent of Shueisha to give a break to its employees and mangakas, especially in light of the recent health issues faced by some popular Shonen Jump mangakas.

Weekly Shonen Jump is rumored to go on break again on the second week of January due to the new year celebrations, and we will get to know the authenticity of this information on January 3, 2022.
