Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 Release Date: When Will Gege Akutami’s Manga Hiatus End?
The official Shonen Jump Editorial Department X account declared on June 23, 2024, that the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series would take a one-week break. Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 was originally scheduled for publication in Japan on July 1, 2024. However, the publication date has been delayed because of chronic health concerns for the author, Gege Akutami.
Jujutsu Kaisen was supposed to have a two-week hiatus beginning with Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #29 and ending with the publication of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #31. Akutami’s health status remained undisclosed to the public, although given their short absence, it appeared that they would soon recover.
The manga will now not be returning until July 8, according to Weekly Shonen Jump, as Gege Akutami continues to struggle with poor health and a “strange condition” that keeps them from working.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 Has a New Release Date
Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 32 will now include Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263; it will be released on Monday, July 8, 2024, at 12 am JST. Following the modification to the original plan for the chapter to appear in the 31st issue, this alteration has been made. Fans from other countries should be aware that release times may differ globally.
As soon as Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 becomes available, MANGAPlus is the suggested online platform for people who can’t wait to read it. The chapter will also be available on the Shonen Jump+ app and the website of VIZ Media. When the relevant volume is officially released, it will be available for purchase for individuals who prefer hard copies.
More On Gege Akutami’s Health And Hiatus Extension
Jujutsu Kaisen‘s creator, Gege Akutami, has been battling some health problems, which initially caused the manga to halt after the publication of the last chapter. Akutami’s health appears to be improving, according to the most recent statement from the Shonen Jump Editorial Department. To ensure the author’s complete recuperation, it was decided to extend the hiatus by one week.
週刊少年ジャンプ31号にて再開予定でした『呪術廻戦』ですが、32号で掲載再開させていただきます。
芥見先生の体調は快復されていますが、先生と編集部で相談し、万全の状態で執筆を再開していただくべきだと判断いたしました。
今後とも応援の程よろしくお願いいたします。https://t.co/AbXJlXrMZF

The following is the translated tweet from the editorial department:
Jujutsu Kaisen was originally scheduled to resume publication in Issue 31 of Weekly Shonen Jump, but will now resume in Issue 32. Although Akutami Sensei’s health is improving, after consulting with the editorial staff, we have decided that they should resume writing only when they are in perfect health. We appreciate your continued support.
The delay is just a commitment to Akutami’s health and the long-term quality of the series, so fans are urged not to worry. During this difficult moment, the fan base’s support is still crucial since it guarantees that Akutami can return to their work in the best possible shape and continue to provide high-caliber content for Jujutsu Kaisen.
Although some ardent fans may be disappointed by the one-week prolongation of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga hiatus, this is an essential precaution taken to protect the creator’s health. On July 8, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 will be released, giving fans hope that Akutami is making a full recovery.
