Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, assures fans that he is not unwell and that the hiatus is simply a scheduled maintenance period. It is common for mangaka to take breaks to ensure their well-being and the quality of their work.

The hiatus will begin with the release of the 18th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on April 1 and will last until the 21st issue on April 22. However, fans can still expect to see the manga in the 17th issue of the magazine, which will be released next Monday.

Maintenance Break for Eiichiro Oda

In a handwritten statement, Eiichiro Oda explained that the hiatus is necessary for him to undergo maintenance. He wants fans to know that he is not unwell and that the break is essential for his well-being.

Creating weekly manga chapters can be demanding and take a toll on the physical and mental health of mangaka. Taking breaks allows them to recharge and ensure the quality of their work in the long run.

Remembering Akira Toriyama

Eiichiro Oda expressed his condolences for the passing of Dragon Ball manga creator Akira Toriyama. He acknowledged that Toriyama’s absence leaves a large hole in the manga world.

It is understandable that the news of the hiatus may cause some unnecessary panic among fans, especially following the recent loss of another prominent mangaka. However, Oda assures fans that he is in good health and that the hiatus is solely for maintenance purposes.

The Mysterious ‘ONE PIECE’

In his statement, Eiichiro Oda mentioned that it is about time for him to start figuring out what the ‘ONE PIECE’ actually is. This mysterious treasure serves as the central focus of the One Piece manga.

With the hiatus providing Oda some time for reflection, fans can anticipate exciting developments in the storyline when the manga returns in April.

Looking Forward to the Return of One Piece

While fans will have to patiently wait for three weeks for the manga to resume, they can revisit past chapters or explore other works by Eiichiro Oda to satisfy their craving for adventure and excitement.

As always, the world of One Piece remains a source of anticipation and excitement. Fans can look forward to the continuation of the epic journey when the manga returns in April.
