Eiichiro Oda breaks silence after One Piece manga announces latest hiatus

As a seasoned gamer and avid One Piece fanatic, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation as Eiichiro Oda takes a brief hiatus from his masterpiece to recharge and gather new ideas. The sudden break is certainly unexpected, but it’s a testament to the sheer magnitude of creativity that goes into crafting the world of One Piece.


The renowned author behind One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, offers his initial thoughts following the unexpected break in the manga’s publication.

Right now, the One Piece manga is showcasing the Land of the Gods storyline, where part of the Straw Hat crew encounters an uncharted kingdom. This peculiar realm appears to be constructed from large building blocks, giving it a genuine royal feel.

Additionally, it’s disclosed that the sovereign of this realm is none other than Road, captain of the New Giant Pirates under Hajrudin. This short storyline will precede the eagerly awaited Elbaf Arc, during which our team will encounter fresh obstacles.

Instead, there’s an unexpected two-week hiatus in the One Piece manga following Chapter 1130. This is due to Oda wanting to take a breather and gather fresh creative inspiration.

This week, after meeting chapter deadlines, Eiichiro Oda has been relaxing by watching the drama titled “Omusubi”. The show’s uplifting and radiant atmosphere is incredibly calming!

As reported by a One Piece fan blog, manga creator Eiichiro Oda expresses that following the completion of each chapter, he relaxes by watching a TV drama titled “Omusubi.” He finds the show’s optimistic and luminous atmosphere extremely calming.

Onigiri (Omusubi), a 2024 Japanese drama, narrates the tale of a resilient girl navigating the tumultuous waters of the Heisei and Reiwa eras. Despite societal judgment, she maintains an optimistic perspective on life and lives it to the fullest. The narrative unfolds as she pursues her dream of becoming a nutritionist, showcasing her determination and zest for life.

Following Oda’s remark, a fan responds, “Indeed, he admires Hashimoto Kanna, and it turns out that Hashimoto Kanna is also a fan of One Piece. She plays the main role in the drama.

As we pondered whether Oda might be reading Vinland Saga, check out what he’s been up to instead,” quips another humorously.
