The official Twitter account for the editorial department of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Friday that Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga will not appear in the 44th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump as planned.
He began serializing the One Piece manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump manga on July 19, 1997.
The editorial department explained that the manga is taking a break due to Oda’s “sudden illness” and poor physical health.
