In recent days, fans of One Piece have been quite confused with the news regarding the shift in the manga’s publication schedule from weekly to monthly. If this change occurs, fans will have to wait an entire month to follow the next chapter of this beloved manga.
Fortunately, the information was quickly addressed by the publisher Shueisha, which is responsible for Weekly Shounen Jump magazine.
It is known that the One Piece manga by author Eiichiro Oda has been published since 1997 in a weekly format in Weekly Shonen Jump. Last year, One Piece even received the title of the longest-running manga series (in terms of continuous publication) to date.
For dedicated manga fans, you might be aware that the release of popular manga titles has always been weekly, a format that puts tremendous pressure on the author. Thus, the potential shift of One Piece from a weekly to a monthly publication schedule has caused many to worry about whether Eiichiro Oda can still keep up with the pace like before or if a change in the publication format is necessary.
Luckily, this change has not happened, and fans of One Piece can continue to enjoy new chapters released weekly. At least for now, that remains the case.
