Overview
- The series' official X account and Weekly Shonen Jump editors announced on Wednesday that Kagurabachi will go on hiatus starting with issue 31, which is released June 29, 2026, and is scheduled to resume in August 2026 with an exact return date to be set by staff.
- One final chapter is planned for publication on June 22, 2026 before the summer break begins.
- The publisher gave the break as a planned rest for creator Takeru Hokazono to help ensure the manga can be presented on a regular schedule in the future.
- Readers and coverage have pointed to sketchy or unfinished panels in recent chapters as signs of artistic strain from the weekly serialization schedule.
- Editors framed the pause as part of a wider shift in how publishers manage hit series, with other popular titles allowed looser cadences, and the timing also follows the series’ newly announced anime campaign for 2027 which raises commercial and production pressure.
