According to Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be taking two breaks in the next 30 days. Chapter 256 of the manga series was released on April 8, 2024, at 12 am JST. The next chapter will be delayed by a week, and there will reportedly be another break early in May.
Fans believe Gege Akutami has done a splendid job with the latest chapters, and they are quite happy with how things are progressing at the moment. The breaks haven’t surprised them, however, since the mangaka is infamous for taking frequent breaks. The fanbase seems to be quite okay with this development, especially considering the health hazards this line of work poses.
Thus, many are keen about the details surrounding the two breaks that the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will take over the next month.
Jujutsu Kaisen manga to take breaks after the release of chapter 256 and chapter 258
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be taking a break next week, which means there will be no chapter release on April 15, 2024 in Japan and April 14, 2024 for most global audiences. Chapter 257 should have been released on the aforementioned date, but this will be delayed by a week, and it will be released on April 22, 2024 (April 21 for global regions).
Meanwhile, chapter 258 will be released on April 29, 2024 (April 28 for global regions). The Jujutsu Kaisen manga will take its second break after the release of chapter 258, which means there won’t be any chapter release on May 6, 2024 (May 5 for global regions).
These are the scheduled breaks for the manga at the time of writing.

Now is the perfect time to revisit the release details of chapter 257 ahead of its release.
