Despite the fact that piracy caused billions in losses to the manga industry in 2023 alone, it is difficult to think that the uncontrolled phenomenon of leak may come to an end in the short term. And although Shueisha itself has implemented various actions to stem this anomaly, nothing will be able to hinder the early release of the spoilers for One Piece 1119.
As announced yesterday by some insiders, not only will One Piece go on hiatus after chapter 1119, but the first leaks of the upcoming issue should start leaking online well in advance, probably as early as today eveningif not even from late afternoon.
As regards the circulation of more detailed information on the new publication of the manga by Eiichiro Odawhich thus allows readers to have a more precise and exhaustive picture of the events that will follow it, we need to wait at least Wednesday 26 Junewith the “unofficial” scans of the chapter which will arrive online – and there should be no doubt about this – already during the day of Thursday 27 Junea full 4 days ahead of the official release of One Piece 1119which will arrive in the pages of the thirty-first annual issue of Shōnen Jump next Sunday: after which there will be a break, the length of which has not (yet) been specified, for now.
Considering the latest developments (both narrative and productive), the question just presented should be loaded with further significance. Precisely the brevity of chapter 1118 of One Piece has generated apprehension among Oda readers, to the point that many have seen the interruption to which the work will now be destined as the a sign of possible tiredness perceived by the cartoonist. Moreover, for the entire month of June, the mangaka maintained, as has rarely happened in recent times, a constant and regular serialization paceso it is possible that the break is to be understood, in Oda’s eyes, as an expedient to free himself from the fatigue of the past few weeks: but also as a necessary tool in order to prepare the ground for the events that will mark the next narrative cycleespecially if chapter 1119 coincided with the end of the Egghead saga.
As regards the content, it is reasonable to expect from the next issue of the manga not only drastic implications, but – perhaps – also highly emotional. Moreover, the double final image on which One Piece 1118 ends has catalyzed the attention of fans above all for the radicality with which it has brought to sublimation the Bonney’s evolutionary processes. And since the girl has taken the form of Nika, it is not impossible to imagine that Oda will give life to an intimate moment between the pirate and Kumawith the buccaneer who will see in his daughter the manifestation of all his most secret fantasies. This factor, the mangaka will probably follow up with a possible cliffhangernecessary to maintain the loyalty of the readership, while waiting for the manga to return to the pages of Shōnen Jump in the second week of July.
On Chainsaw man. Normal happiness (Vol. 16) It is one of today’s best sellers.
