Read on to learn more about the hiatus’s cause and when to expect the manga’s return!

Blue Exorcist Chapter 139: Official Announcement!

Kazue Kato, the manga’s creator, announced a two-month break on her verified Twitter account. The March and April issues of Shueisha’s Jump SQ magazine will not feature new chapters of the manga. A lengthy hiatus from the Blue Exorcist manga will be implemented, but not because of any medical emergencies. Instead, it’s going on hiatus while the mangaka draws up the next chapter.

The post claims that Kato has been hard at work on the illustrations for the next chapter for more than a month. So that she can adjust to the increased workload, she plans to take a short break. She continues by saying she is in fine shape right now. Kato has also asked for fans’ patience.

What Is The Plot?

Rin Okumura, the protagonist of the manga, was adopted and raised by a foster family. The famous exorcist Father Fujimoto has been raising him from the time he was a baby. After getting into an argument with Father Fujimoto, Rin is forced to face a terrible truth. He reveals that Satanic blood flows through Rin’s veins. In response, Rin has vowed to vanquish Satan.

But that would necessitate his enrollment at the shadowy True Cross Academy. He’ll need to study under an actual exorcist, too. To what extent will Rin be able to protect the anonymity of his bloodline while also fighting demons? Rin’s life will get more difficult when he draws his father’s swords and unleashes the demon powers he’s been harboring.
