In summation

My Hero Academia chapter 368 ended on a cliffhanger (Image via Kohei Horikoshi/Shueisha)

Unlike other delays, Shueisha did not specify the reason for this one. Since Japan has no national holiday this Sunday, this must be a publication delay from Weekly Shonen Jump. The raw scans and spoilers for many chapters, especially for One Piece chapter 1062 and My Hero Academia chapter 369, have come out as they do every week, thereby negating any chance of a creative delay on behalf of any mangaka.

Either way, only Weekly Shonen Jump’s Sunday releases have suffered. Bi-weekly serialization, such as Spy X Family and Chainsaw Man, and monthly releases, like Boruto, will maintain their previously confirmed publication dates.
