There will likely be another delay for chapter 263 of Jujutsu Kaisen. As tensions in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc were rising and Yuta was assuming charge of Sukuna, rumors circulated that manga writer Gege Akutami needed more time to tend to their health.
Fans were expecting an explosive chapter 263 now that the sorcerers have Gojo’s blessing, after JJK chapter 262 was cut short. If, by the end of the month, things don’t go according to plan, this is the next projected date to keep an eye on.
chapter 263 of Jujutsu Kaisen Faces Delay
After a quick peek of Yuta battling Sukuna in chapter 262, fans were left in suspense, and this most recent setback only heightens the suspense regarding the sorcerers’ fate. As with the previous chapter, the manga is presently on pause.
We’re all excited for chapter 263 on June 30th, but rumours circulating through the manga community suggest that there may be another delay. It seems like artist Gege Akutami requires further time to heal completely from his illness.
Creator’s Health Concern
The author of the manga series that broke records previously acknowledged that he is suffering from an unidentified ailment and even expressed regret to the fans for the wait. It’s unknown when the upcoming chapter will be released right now. It will definitely be released in July if the June 30th release is postponed.
“According to the preview for next week’s issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, Jujutsu Kaisen is on break in issue 31,” wrote a JJK leaker, according to Dexerto. I’ll keep you informed if there are any updates. The show was scheduled to take a two-week break, but it ended up being longer.
Although it’s unfortunate, the health of the individual who created the incredible tale always comes first. “I hope Gege is just taking extra time to recover fully, and it’s not something like his health deteriorating even more,” stated another leaker, wishing for Gege’s quick recovery. I’m hoping for improved health for Gege.
In addition to eagerly anticipating the confrontation between the sorcerers and the king of curses, supporters are also worried about the creator’s health and do not want him to go too quickly until he is in better shape.
