Shonen Jump Fans Will Need to Wait a Bit Longer for the Next Chapter

For over half a century, Shueisha’s “Weekly Shonen Jump” magazine has been a significant player in the manga industry, churning out numerous classic manga series throughout its 50+ years. This influential publication is known for launching legendary titles such as “Dragon Ball”, “Naruto”, and the enduring “One Piece”. Week after week, fresh chapters from various Shonen Jump series keep readers worldwide enthralled. Current popular series like “One Piece”, “Sakamoto Days”, “Ichi the Witch”, and others continue to hook fans with each new release. However, next week there will be no new chapters at all due to a break.

Next week, Shonen Jump magazine will take a break to celebrate the Obon festival in Japan, which usually falls around mid-August for three days. This means that Issue 38 of the magazine will be released a week later than usual. The magazine is set to return on Monday, August 18th, 2025, at midnight Japan Standard Time, but fans in the West can look forward to accessing it on Sunday, August 17th, at 11 AM Eastern Time (ET), 8 AM Pacific Time (PT), 10 AM Central Time (CT), and 4 PM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The upcoming issue is expected to be packed with thrilling new chapters from popular series such as One Piece, Sakamoto Days, Kagurabachi, Blue Box, and many more that are currently delivering captivating storylines.

Shonen Jump Will Return With Issue 38 in Mid-August

In Issue 38 of Shonen Jump, you’ll find all current stories running in the magazine. This lineup includes “One Piece,” a series that frequently causes excitement among fans due to its occasional breaks. Although it recently made a comeback this week, there will be no “One Piece” next week – but don’t worry, this hiatus is solely because of the holiday and not related to author Eiichiro Oda’s health, which has been a topic of concern among fans due to the series’ long-term serialization. Rest assured, “One Piece” will continue its ongoing flashback in the next issue, delving further into the series’ rich lore.

In the upcoming issue, the ongoing saga of the Sakamoto gang in “Sakamoto Days” will resume, with the storyline progressing as they race to get Sakamoto to JCC’s hospital during the “Final Battle” phase. Another exciting return is the series “Ichi the Witch,” which is garnering attention as it delves into a fresh arc following Ichi’s official recognition as a witch in a female-dominated system, promising new twists and turns. On August 18th, Shonen Jump will be back with all the eagerly anticipated series, resuming their narratives after a well-deserved break next week due to the Obon festival.
