Kagurabachi is coming back sooner than expected — Shueisha has confirmed that Chapter 126 will run in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 35 on 27 July 2026, wrapping up Takeru Hokazono’s rest break roughly a week ahead of the August window fans had been told to anticipate.
Kagurabachi Chapter 126 Drops 27 July — Day-One Simulpub Confirmed
Chapter 126 lands in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 35 on 27 July 2026, confirmed via Siliconera and Viz Media’s updated simulpub schedule. When creator Takeru Hokazono announced the break in late June following Chapter 125, the original messaging pointed to a return sometime in August without giving a specific date. The Issue 35 confirmation moves that forward by a week or more.
Hokazono explained the break simply, as reported by ComicBook: “I’ll be taking a small break. Please wait patiently while I work on making Kagurabachi even better!”
Singapore readers can read Chapter 126 free on Manga Plus (manga.plus) the same day as the Japanese release — no regional delay. Paid subscribers on the Viz Media Weekly Shonen Jump platform get access on the same schedule.
Where the Story Left Off Before the Hiatus
Chapter 125 left the story mid-tension, with Chihiro Rokuhira and Subaru Urita working through the mounting pressure of the Datenseki arc. The series has been drilling into the origins of the Seitei War and the history of Enchanted Blades — lore-heavy territory that has kept the stakes feeling substantial even as the action ramps up.
Physical edition readers have two release windows to note. Volume 12 of the Japanese edition arrives on 4 September 2026. For English readers, Viz Media’s Volume 8 (chapters 66–74) is due on 4 August 2026 — look for it at Singapore bookshops carrying the Viz Manga range.
The April 2027 Anime Keeps Rolling While the Manga Rests
The anime side of Kagurabachi has been moving along while the manga took its break. Produced by studio Cypic (also behind Umamusume: Cinderella Gray and The Summer Hikaru Died), the adaptation is locked for an April 2027 debut on Crunchyroll with worldwide simulcast confirmed, Singapore included.
The cast announced so far: Taihi Kimura as Chihiro Rokuhira, Tomokazu Seki as Kunishige Rokuhira, and Katsuyuki Konishi as Togo Shiba. A global World Tour of early episode screenings kicked off at Anime Expo in July 2026 and continues at Japan Expo, AnimagiC, Otakon, and Anime NYC. No Singapore or SEA screening has been announced yet — we’ll update as dates emerge closer to the Spring 2027 premiere.
