Ashihara’s Health Conditions Prompt One-Month Break of ‘World Trigger’ Manga

Summary:

• World Trigger Manga will be on a break for February 2024.
• The hiatus is unavoidable due to the author’s poor health conditions.

Most manga authors are constantly in poor physical condition. And it is not an overstretch to say that it is primarily due to excessive workload and the immense amount of stress that comes with it. The author of World Trigger is not an exception to this phenomenon.

The official X/Twitter account of ‘World Trigger’ manga announced on December 28 that the manga will take a break in the February 2024 issue of Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine due to Daisuke Ashihara’s poor physical health. The manga is scheduled to return in the March issue.

The February special issue of Jump Square, which will be released on January 4th (Thursday), will be suspended due to the author’s illness.
We apologize to all our readers who have been looking forward to this release.
It is scheduled to be published in the March special issue of Jump Square (released on February 2nd). thank you.

This isn’t the first time that the author has taken a break due to his poor physical health conditions. The manga last took a break in the magazine’s September 2023 issue and returned in October 2023.

The series also took several breaks in 2021 and around four in 2022. While we might be missing the manga, the author’s health takes precedence, and we all hope for him to recover and take it easy.
