Breaks are underway for two popular Shonen Jump series, with both Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia and Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen announcing two-week hiatuses. The series are set to return to Jump on July 1, 2024, which is when this year’s 31st issue hits stands in Japan.

While there’s no reason listed for the My Hero Academia hiatus, the series recently entered its “epilogue” and plans to continue a bit longer.

As for Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami’s author notes cite a combination of poor health and a “strange condition.” Akutami didn’t elaborate any further on the latter.

The My Hero Academia manga has been running in Jump since July 2014, so we’re coming up on the 10th anniversary. The Jujutsu Kaisen manga started in March 2018, and the possibility of it ending sometime this year has been teased in the past.

Here’s how VIZ Media describes Jujutsu Kaisen:

Although Yuji Itadori looks like your average teenager, his immense physical strength is something to behold! Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Research Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object. Little do they know the terror they’ll unleash when they break the seal…
