September 29 Will Be A Big Day For One Piece Fans

by

This article contains spoilers for the One Piece series.

The *One Piece* manga has been taking more and more breaks lately. Its creator, Eiichiro Oda, has been busy with other projects and needs extra time to work on them. While breaks aren’t unusual for *One Piece*, they’ve become more frequent since the start of the Elbaf arc. This is a mixed bag for fans – it’s understandable, but the wait is still tough, especially with such a crucial part of the story coming up – the long-awaited God Valley Incident.

It’s been a tough couple of weeks for One Piece fans while the manga was on break, but the wait is almost over! Chapter 1161 will be released in Japan on September 29, 2025, and fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival.

The One Piece Manga is Finally Returning

  • September 29 is the Return Date
  • One Piece Chapter 1161 is Coming Soon

Fans of the *One Piece* manga are frustrated by frequent breaks in the release schedule. These breaks have been happening more often recently, mainly because creator Eiichiro Oda needs more rest, but also sometimes due to holidays in Japan affecting the *Shonen Jump* magazine’s schedule. The latest break, which began after chapter 1160 on September 14, 2025, is almost over.

A new chapter of the One Piece manga, chapter 1161, will be released in Japan on Monday, September 29, 2025. Fans are eagerly anticipating the continuation of the God Valley storyline. For most readers in Western countries, the chapter will be available to read starting September 28, 2025.

There Should Be No More Breaks For A While

Oda Typically Takes One Break Every Two Or Three Chapters

Now that new One Piece chapters are back, fans are curious about when the series might take another break after chapter 1161. Good news! Chapter 1162 is confirmed to be released on Sunday, October 5th, 2025, in the US, with no delays expected. This makes sense, as the author, Oda, typically releases a few chapters before taking a short break.

One Piece Chapter 1161 is scheduled for release this week, as usual on Sundays. While it becomes available in Japan at midnight on Monday, September 29th, most international fans will be able to read it on September 28th. The official US release date is September 28th, and the chapter will be available to read for free on Manga Plus.
