Jujutsu Kaisen went on a two-week hiatus due to Gege Akutami’s health after the release of JJK Chapter 262 on June 9, 2024. According to the previous schedule, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 was supposed to be released on the 30th of June, 2024- but it looks like it’ll be on break again next week. Let’s take a look at why Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 delayed and any other information we have about it.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 Delayed: Manga Not Listed For Next Week’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 delayed because of Gege Akutami’s sudden sickness two weeks ago. Chapter 263 of JJK was supposed to release on June 30, 2024, or July 1, 2024, (depending on your time zone) on Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine but the manga, as of today, June 20, 2024, is still not listed in the preview of next week’s WSJ issue.
Most fans take this to mean that Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 will be on break next week too. This time of rest will also allow Gege to recover JJK from the corner he’s dropped it into. There are several plot threads to be taken care of including Yuta, Yuji, and Maki for starters but also several other side characters.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 Delayed: New Release Date
According to the latest updates, while Gege Akutami’s health has improved, his editors are looking for a full recovery before he can begin working again- thus confirming that the JJK manga will be delayed by another week. The new release dates are as follows:
| Time Zone | Time | Date | Day | Region |
| JST | 12:00 AM | July 15, 2024 | Monday | Japan |

| EST | 11:00 AM | July 14, 2024 | Sunday | USA, Canada. |
| IST | 8:30 PM | July 14, 2024 | Sunday | India |
While many are sad about another dry week, most JJK fans wish for Gege’s recovery and want him to take as much time as he needs to heal and recover. We all pray for Gege’s swift recovery.
