Bad news for One Piece fans as the series’ official Twitter account announced that the Eiichiro Oda will be taking a one-month break starting from the 30th issue of the Weekly Shonen Jump on June 27 and returning on Jump’s 34th issue. Thankfully the Wano Arc will still come to its conclusion before One Piece goes on break.
The break is intended to give Oda time to rest and prepare as in the summer a lot of One Piece content will be coming together, such as the One Piece Red film, and Netflix adaptation. The break is mainly to give the author time to rest while preparing for the series’ 25th anniversary, and the manga’s “final saga”. Oda has stated back in 2019 that he planned to conclude One Piece within five years, so this lines up with the plan he set out three years ago.
Along with the break announcement, the official Twitter also posted a plan for the One Piece Film Red’s live stream, check it out below!
