The Dragon Ball Super manga will reportedly go on a hiatus after the release of chapter 103 on March 20, 2024. The hiatus has seemingly no relation with Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama’s passing on March 1, 2024. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]
As reported by leaker ryokutya2089, it seems like this hiatus won’t limit to the Dragon Ball Super manga, and instead the V Jump magazine where the series is published will go on a temporary hiatus. The latest Dragon Ball Super manga chapters have served as a sort of epilogue to the adaptation of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero anime movie, and concluded on the last issue.
The Dragon Ball Super manga started serialization on June 20, 2015, and was penned by the late Akira Toriyama and drawn by artist Toyotaro. Meanwhile, the Super anime series aired in Japan between July 2015 and March 2018. The series received two movies Dragon Ball Super: Broly on December 2018, and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero on June 2022.
A new anime series titled Dragon Ball Daima is set to release in Japan sometime during the Fall 2024 season, and it will follow the cast of the series after being turned to children and stripped of most of their powers.
The Dragon Ball Super manga will go on an indefinite hiatus from March 20, 2024. Viz Media handles the English release of the manga. The Dragon Ball Super anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
