One Piece recently celebrated its 1000th episode, but with the Wano Country Arc still in full swing, the hiatus comes at a crucial point in the current story arc. I was expecting a relatively short thread this week, but man.
Both the One Piece manga and anime are going on a break, but fans won't have to wait too long for their favorite series to resume. Even with the coming and going of several new hit series over the years, One Piece has remained one of the most popular manga and anime properties in both Japan and the West.
While manga series going on hiatus is not that uncommon, anime shows are more scheduled in their releases, especially because most new anime are released as seasons, instead of steadily airing episodes every week, as was the trend among older series.
Toei Animation has produced One Piece since 1999 and has made a staggering over 1000 episodes. One Piece remains one of the most popular animes in the history of the art form and a huge success for the studio.
The manga will continue releasing its chapters up until June 27, 2022. After that chapter, the series will take a break until July 25, 2022, and this will be the 34th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump. Therefore, fans can expect two more chapters to be released before the series takes a four-week break.
The only thing clear at the moment is that One Piece will go through its longest hiatus since the one between chapters 597 and 598, published in 2010. And what a hiatus that was! Known as the time skip, it meant the passage of two years in the world of Luffy and company.
Overall, the Saga spanned over 7 years and covered four arcs in total. The upcoming saga, being its last one, is certainly going to be the most important one and it is one that will be made up of quite a few arcs.
In a June 7 tweet from the official One Piece Twitter account, Eiichiro Oda announced that after the publication of One Piece chapter 1053 later this month, the manga will be going on hiatus from June 27 to July 25, 2022.
Eiichiro Oda himself even announced a couple days ago that the final saga is coming. But that all hit very differently today, when it was officially announced that the final saga of One Piece would begin on July 25, 2022, with chapter 1054.
One Piece has finally brought the massive Wano Country saga to an end with one emotional final chapter, and so now is the perfect time to catch up with the manga!
It's no surprise Eiichiro Oda, the creator behind the greatest-selling manga of all time, One Piece, is also the wealthiest mangaka in the industry. Since the Straw Hat Pirates' introduction in 1997, the series has sold well over 450 million tankōbon volumes, about 150 million more than Dragon Ball's sales.
At 128 chapters and counting, the ''Wano Country'' arc is by far the longest in the series' history.
Weekly Shonen Jump has confirmed, however, that while the manga is going on a break because creator Eiichiro Oda has become sick, it doesn't appear to be anything related to the fast-spreading virus.
The Manga's Delay. Fans might jump to the conclusion that the delays for the manga and anime might be due to the continually heightened threat of the coronavirus, which has been causing disruptions throughout that part of the world.

The Anime's Delay. Concerns over coronavirus halting production haven't affected the One Piece anime, either, but the show is still getting delayed for a bit. The latest episode aired on February 23rd, but the next episode won't air a week later.
Even with the coming and going of several new hit series over the years, One Piece has remained one of the most popular manga and anime properties in both Japan and the West. Unfortunately for the franchise's most avid fans, however, they won't be able to get their fix of the series for a little bit. For varying reasons, both the One Piece manga ...
The One Piece anime is set to go on a two-week hiatus after the release of episode 1004 on December 19, 2021, with episode 1005 set to air again on January 9, 2022. One Piece recently celebrated its 1000th episode, but with the Wano Country Arc still in full swing, the hiatus comes at a crucial point in the current story arc.
The Boruto anime has been treading thin ice for a while now, with how close the anime timeline has come to the current arc in the manga, with the anime having to resort to animating filler episodes while they wait for the manga to update and provide them with enough material to get to the next major arc.
"Blue Exorcist" by Kazue Kato will be on hiatus until April 2022 in Jump SQ magazine after this month's chapter.
