Major Shonen Jump Series Hit With Sudden Hiatus Before Release

by

A popular manga series in Shonen Jump magazine is taking an unexpected break just before its next chapter was scheduled to be released. It’s been a busy period for Weekly Shonen Jump with new series launching and others ending as creators compete for readers’ attention. The manga world is very competitive, and sometimes series need to pause temporarily.

Unfortunately, a new chapter of Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi will be delayed. Originally planned for release on June 8th in Shonen Jump, the manga will now return with a new chapter in the June 14th issue. While it’s a short break, it’s still disappointing news for fans eager to find out what happens next.

Kagurabachi Chapter 124 Confirms New Release Date After Delay

The release of Kagurabachi Chapter 124 has been delayed to June 14th instead of this week. This is the second unexpected break for the creator, Hokazono, in just one month, which is causing fans to become concerned about their health. Creating Shonen Jump manga requires a very demanding schedule, and it often leads to health problems for the artists.

Manga readers generally prioritize the well-being of their favorite creators over a constant stream of new chapters. However, the weekly release schedule of Shonen Jump creates a challenging situation. Many series are cut short – often before reaching 20 chapters – due to a lack of readership, even with weekly updates. This puts significant pressure on popular titles like Kagurabachi to consistently perform well. Now that the creator of Kagurabachi has entered the manga’s second phase, that pressure has likely intensified.

Kagurabachi Anime Announced for 2027

Okay, so the Kagurabachi manga is on a bit of a break right now, but honestly, I’m so excited for what’s coming! We’re finally getting the anime in April 2027 – it’s slated for the Spring lineup! They haven’t given us a specific date or said where we’ll be able to stream it internationally yet, but don’t worry, we won’t have to wait that long to see some action. They’ve promised something will be coming much sooner!

Kagurabachi is heading on a world tour throughout the rest of the year! Fans can catch screenings of the first 20 minutes of the anime at events like Anime Expo, Japan Expo, and Anime NYC. Plus, voice actor Taihi Kimura (who plays Chihiro Rokuhira) and producer Koichi Yasuda will be there to offer insights and commentary.
