Jujutsu Kaisen‘s official twitter account revealed that the manga will be on a break in issue 15 of Weekly Shonen Jump releasing on March 14, 2022, owing to author Gege Akutami‘s poor health.
The 178th chapter will be released in the next issue of the magazine on March 19, 2022.
Fans expressed their concerns, asking Akutami to take more breaks or time offs in order to recover. Others wished for the author’s speedy recovery.
Jujutsu Kaisen manga had been forced to delay its schedule due to Akutami’s poor health in the past too.
On June 10, 2021, Shonen Jump’s official twitter account had revealed that the manga will go on an indefinite hiatus, after chapter 152, due to Akutami’s poor physical condition.

The series had resumed in August 2021, after being on a break for more than a month.
