Regardless of its remarkable 26-year journey, the manga has only recently taken off on its final saga. Naturally, fans have been eagerly awaiting the unfolding events of this epic conclusion. However, their excitement has been tempered by the announcement of these extended breaks.
Fans Brace for a Brief Break in One Piece Manga Release
The highly anticipated One Piece chapter 1111 is set to grace the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump issue #17 on Monday, March 25, 2024. However, even before its official release, alleged spoilers have surfaced, revealing that the series will take a three-week hiatus following this chapter.
This means that fans will have to endure a wait until Weekly Shonen Jump issue #21 to get their hands on chapter 1112 of the beloved manga series. Unfortunately, the disappointment doesn’t end there.
Reports suggest that there’s more bad news in store for fans. Following the three-week hiatus, the next chapter will not be released the following week due to the Golden Week break.
In essence, after the release of chapter 1111, there will only be one chapter released over the course of the next five weeks. This announcement undoubtedly comes as a blow to fans of the One Piece manga.
Reacting to the news, many fans expressed their understanding and support for manga creator Eiichiro Oda, wishing him a well-deserved break. Their admiration for Oda’s work is evident, and they are grateful for his dedication.
However, amidst the understanding, there’s a sense of disappointment among fans who will have to endure the absence of One Piece from Weekly Shonen Jump for several weeks in the upcoming month. With heavy hearts, they hope that Oda will utilize this break wisely to prioritize his health.
