How long until the next release?

There are ~90 days between every chapter release, which usually falls on the last week of January, April, July, and October.Hereā€™s a very neat countdown to Chapter 259 in late July, 2026:

    Why does every chapter take so long to release?

    Hoshino-sensei has a history of health issues, particularly with her wrists and hands; she has never publically shared the exact diagnosis of her condition, but many fans have likened her symptoms to that of carpal tunnel syndrome.She works very hard to give us each chapter, Instagram post, and sometimes even Jump SQ.Rise cover art, so please be understanding and support her in any way that you can!

    There are many things you can do to support her! Here are some ways you can do it:
