One Piece Confirms Another Hiatus After Eiichiro Oda’s Worrying Health Update

According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by @WSJ_manga, the next chapter of *One Piece* (Chapter 1162) will be delayed for one week. It’s common for manga artists to face health problems due to their demanding workload, which often concerns fans. While *Weekly Shonen Jump* artists like Oda typically take a break every few weeks, unexpected illnesses can lead to multiple delays in a row. *One Piece* has been published weekly since 1997, and the long schedule is clearly affecting the author’s health. After the last unexpected break, Shonen Jump apologized to readers. However, since the delay for Chapter 1163 was announced with enough notice, we might not receive an official update on the author’s condition this time.
