As a huge One Piece fan, I was really worried last week when we found out Eiichiro Oda was taking a break! It’s super rare for him to do that, and everyone was instantly concerned. Sadly, those worries were confirmed – Oda wasn’t feeling well and needed to take some time to recover. It was definitely a scary moment for all of us who love the series!
I know a lot of fans were concerned about Eiichiro Oda and what it meant for *One Piece*, but the good news is he’s reportedly doing much better and is on the mend. While we don’t have specifics, it’s been announced that a new chapter of *One Piece* will be released on October 12, 2025 – that should definitely cheer everyone up!
Oda’s Health Concerned Many, But He Is Recovering
News Confirmed By The Official One Piece Account
When the One Piece manga suddenly goes on hiatus, it’s usually a cause for concern. Typically, breaks are announced at least a week beforehand, so a surprise pause often indicates that creator Eiichiro Oda isn’t feeling well due to the demanding weekly schedule.
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has been facing health challenges, likely due to the demanding nature of his work. Being a manga artist is extremely difficult, and it’s clear to fans that Oda is often exhausted. He’s mentioned before that he struggles to find time for basic needs like eating, sleeping, or being with his family.

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, previously took a short break in November of last year, but quickly recovered and the manga resumed its regular schedule. It appears the situation is similar this time, as confirmed by the official One Piece account: Oda is currently recovering and One Piece will be back soon.
Dear One Piece fans, thank you for always reading! Unfortunately, due to the author’s health, there will be no new chapter this week. We’re very sorry to those who were excited for it. Please note that the magazine already went to print before we could make the change. We expect to resume regular chapters in issue 46, which will be available on October 14th. Thank you for your understanding and continued support! — Shonen Jump Editorial Department
