Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece remains a global favorite, keeping fans hooked with its gripping plot and iconic characters. As the journey unfolds, each new chapter brings fresh excitement, leaving readers eager for what’s next. However, with Chapter 1152 facing a delay, many are wondering when the manga will return. Here's everything you need to know about the updated release schedule and what lies ahead.
Eiichiro Oda has confirmed a break following the release of One Piece chapter 1151. Typically, Oda releases three consecutive chapters before taking a short break, and this time is no different. The manga will be on a two-week hiatus and is scheduled to return on June 22, 2025, which falls on a Sunday for most international fans. In Japan, however, the chapter will be released at 12 AM JST on Monday, but readers in other parts of the world will get access to it on June 22.
The Elbaf arc is finally approaching its climax, with One Piece chapter 1151 laying the groundwork for the major events ahead. In this chapter, Luffy and his crew sensed a powerful surge of Haki from Imu, who unleashed it upon arriving in Elbaf. The crew began making preparations to return to the Sun Realm of Elbaf, where a massive battle is set to take place. The long-awaited fight between Luffy and Imu is just around the corner, with chapter 1152 expected to mark the crew's return to the Sun Realm and the beginning of the confrontation.
International readers can access Chapter 1152 through three primary platforms once it’s officially released. Viz Media’s website and Shueisha’s MANGA Plus provide free access, although they limit the number of available chapters. For unlimited access to One Piece and other manga titles, fans can opt for a subscription to Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service, which comes at an affordable monthly cost.
