One Piece chapter 1151 confirms Oda's next break week for June 2025

Monday, June 2, 2025, saw the official release week for One Piece chapter 1151 begin, bringing with it initial spoilers that unofficially confirm a break week for the series will follow its release. While technically an unofficial confirmation, X user and reputable series leaker @pewpiece has proven historically accurate, thus making this latest information reliable.

Further lending credibility to this claim is mangaka Eiichiro Oda’s typical release schedule, with fans expecting him to take a break week following One Piece chapter 1151’s official release. In turn, it gives fans an idea of what to expect from the rest of the month, as well as the series’ release schedule for early July 2025.

With One Piece chapter 1151 set to be officially released on Monday, June 9, 2025, in Japan, the series will be on break the following week on Monday, June 16. The manga should then return with chapter 1152 on Monday, June 23, restarting Oda’s typical three-on-one-off release cadence likewise. In turn, it’s expected that chapter 1153 will follow on Monday, June 30, and chapter 1154 will be officially released on Monday, July 7.

While this is technically speculative, Oda almost always sticks to his typical release cadence where possible. Virtually all that interrupts it is a publisher break from Shueisha or Oda taking a sudden break due to his health. Both are typically announced ahead of time via official sources, such as social media accounts or websites. This is especially true for Oda’s sudden health breaks and the mangaka typically writing or drawing something up to share the news.

However, fans can expect the manga to return in the second half of June and be released consistently through the first week of July 2025, given this latest news. While some speculated Oda may break from his typical cadence to release chapter 1152 the week after One Piece chapter 1151, given recent exciting events, that isn’t the case. Oda last released four chapters in a row in January 2025 during the climax of the Egghead Arc.

Likewise, this may suggest there’s still more to come from the Elbaph Arc and that fans haven’t quite reached the climax yet. This would also track with the recent noteworthy absence of protagonist Monkey D. Luffy in the manga’s latest issues. However, this is purely speculative as of this article’s writing.

Oda’s manga began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 1997, where it is still ongoing with regular serialization. Toei Animation began a television anime adaptation of the manga in October 1999, which is also still ongoing today. Netflix is producing both a live-action adaptation of Oda’s original manga and an anime readaptation with Wit Studio titled THE ONE PIECE.
