Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga will be going on a two week break following the release of chapter 1130 in the 47th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on Oct 21, 2024.
The series will resume in the 50th issue of the magazine releasing on Nov 11, 2024.
The announcement was made by official X account of the series on Oct 20, 2024, revealing that the break is due to the creator Eiichiro Oda’s involvement in preparations for Netflix’s One Piece live-action season 2.
However, it was revealed that during this break, a special feature from Oda will be included in these issues.
In addition to the manga, One Piece anime has also announced a six month hiatus and will retun only in April 2025. This was revealed during a special One Piece News #1 special broadcast.
During the hiatus, the anime will air special content. On Oct 20, 2024, a special 25th anniversary anime titled One Piece Fan Letter will air.
Afterward, starting on Oct 27, 2024, an edited version of the Fish-Man Island Arc will be broadcast. This new version will condense the original 57 episodes into 21 episodes, with updates to the animation quality.
Eiichiro Oda started serializing One Piece manga on Shueisha’s shonen manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump since July 1997, with its chapters compiled in 109 tankobon volumes as of July 2024.
The manga holds the Guinness Record for the most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author. This record was first verified in 2015 and confirmed again in 2022.
