A piece is one of the longest running mangas currently in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine – and if there are no unexpected interruptions, Eiichiro Oda's great pirate story will come up with another famous title in 2024.




A A piece Fan on X (formerly Twitter) recently pointed out that A piece will probably exceed the Detective Conan series in 2024 in terms of chapter releases – not an easy task considering that Conan is one of the longest running manga series of all time and is well over A piece in this respect. Probably better known as Case closed by Western fans, the manga originally began in 1994 in Weekly Shonen Sundaythree years ago A piece Premiere in Jump.

One Piece will surpass Detective Conan in chapter count in 2024

At 60 years old, Aoyoma has long since proven himself to be a true veteran in the industry, but while Shonen Jump Series usually appear weekly, Case closed tends to publish two to three chapters in a week and then take a month-long break – sometimes longer if necessary. Given this schedule, it makes sense that A piece has almost caught up with the detective series in terms of the number of chapters published. While Oda has had to take a break sporadically for various reasons, the manga has generally kept a tight schedule, even if it puts a physical strain on the creator.


A further comparison is possible with the Hunter x Hunter Series that was interrupted for a long time due to the author's severe back problems. Although the publication only took place one year after A piece, Hunter x Hunter currently has only 400 published chapters, with the last one released in 2023. Most fans generally understand these situations, which is why A piece is particularly happy for its consistency. But while A piece will most likely pass Case closed With more chapters to come in the coming months, he is also nearing the end of his journey, has begun his “final saga,” has concluded his popular “Egghead” story arc, and “Elbaf” is next on the horizon.
