No, you don’t have to worry, since it was confirmed that Daisuke is not suffering from the Covid-19 disease. He is just resting up so that he can give fans more of World Trigger goodness.

World Trigger manga is currently on chapter 205 with the Expedition Selection Exam 3 arc. The lineup for the Away Mission is finally revealed and Katori and Osamu are on the same expedition team.

The next chapter will probably pick up the manga’s pace as the new expedition begins.

The coronavirus pandemic is also a serious concern ever since Tokyo and other prefectures near it were shut down declaring a state of emergency. So, it is likely that some of our favorite manga might also be delayed.

As much as I want World Trigger’s new chapter to be released soon, the mangaka’s health is what’s more important right now. I hope he takes his time and returns fully recovered!
