21 June 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : Another delay for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 263 is on the cards. Just when things were heating up in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, with Yuta taking the reins against Sukuna, word on the manga street is creator Gege Akutami needs some extra time to focus on their health. JJK chapter 262 was cut short and fans were hoping for an explosive chapter 263 now that the sorcerers have the blessing of Gojo. Here’s the next anticipated date to look for if things don’t go as planned by the end of the month.
Jujutsu Kaisen manga chapter 263 faces further delay
Fans were left hanging after a brief glimpse of Yuta facing off against Sukuna in chapter 262, and the wait to see the fate of the sorcerers intensifies with this latest setback. The manga is currently on hiatus, as was the case with the previous chapter. According to the official Manga Plus app, the new release date for chapter 263 was set for June 30th. However, new updates from leakers claim that the chapter has been further delayed due to Gege’s health, which needs more time to recover.
JJK chp 263 eyes July release due to creator’s health concern
Earlier, the creator of the record-breaking manga series revealed that he is battling an undisclosed illness and even apologised to the fans for the delay himself. Now, it’s unclear when the next chapter will come out. If the June 30th release gets halted, it will undoubtedly be released in July.
A JJK leaker as per Dexerto wrote, “According to the preview for next week’s issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, Jujutsu Kaisen is on break in issue 31. The series was supposedly taking a break for only two weeks, but the break was extended for another week, I will update you if there is anything more.”
It’s a bummer for sure, but the well-being of the person behind the amazing story always comes first. Another leaker wished for a speedy recovery of Gege and said, “I hope Gege is just taking extra time to recover fully, and it’s not something like his health deteriorating even more. I’m praying for Gege’s better health.”
While fans are awaiting the showdown between the king of curses and the sorcerers, they are also concerned about the creator’s health and do not want him to rush things until he is in better shape.
