Kagurabachi readers are waiting for the next chapter after Chapter 135 officially began the Seitei War and jumped the story eight months forward. The next installment, Chapter 136, is set to continue the war storyline, and the projected release date is October 25, 2026, based on the regular Weekly Shonen Jump schedule. The chapter will be available through the official English platforms, VIZ Media and MANGA Plus, for readers in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, India, and other regions.
What Happened in Chapter 135
Chapter 135, titled “War Begins,” marked a major turning point for the series. The chapter showed Ibuki Misaka declining to formally join the government’s fight, while Kunishige Rokuhira and Akemura shared a rare moment that revealed more about their relationship. Japan officially declared war against the Mikobashi, and the story moved forward by eight months in a single jump.
The chapter also introduced Sazamura and Ibuki as candidates for the Enchanted Blade contract, with the weapon’s completion drawing closer. Fan discussion on Japanese social media focused on the fast pace of the story and the sudden time skip, with readers noting that the enchanted blade’s deployment now feels imminent.
When Chapter 136 Releases Worldwide
Kagurabachi normally publishes new English chapters on Sundays through VIZ Media and MANGA Plus. The Japanese release in Weekly Shonen Jump typically arrives on Mondays, but international readers get the simultaneous English translation on Sunday.
Based on the confirmed schedule, the projected timing for Chapter 136 is:
- USA (Eastern Time): Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET
- USA (Pacific Time): Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 7:00 AM PT
- UK (BST): Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM BST
- Canada (Eastern Time): Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET
- Australia (AEST): Monday, October 26, 2026 at 1:00 AM AEST
- India (IST): Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 7:30 PM IST
These timings follow the standard 9:00 AM CT release pattern for VIZ Media and MANGA Plus. Readers should check the official platforms directly, as magazine breaks or unexpected schedule changes can shift the date.
Where to Read Chapter 136 Officially
VIZ Media’s Shonen Jump service and MANGA Plus by Shueisha are the two official English sources for Kagurabachi. Both platforms publish new chapters alongside the Japanese release, subject to regional availability. MANGA Plus offers the first three and latest three chapters for free, while VIZ Media provides a chapter archive for subscribers.
Reading through official platforms supports the creators and ensures access to the correct translation on release day. Fan scans and unofficial leaks circulate before the official date, but they are not reliable and often contain incomplete or altered content.
Why the Schedule Matters for This Arc
Kagurabachi has experienced several breaks in 2026, including an extended summer hiatus and a short absence due to creator Takeru Hokazono’s health. The series returned with Chapter 126 on July 26, 2026, and has followed a more consistent weekly pattern since Chapter 132 arrived on September 27. The current schedule lists Chapter 135 on October 18 and projects Chapter 136 for October 25, with no announced break in between.
The Seitei War arc is a major storyline that ties back to the series’ central conflict: the stolen Enchanted Blades and the war in which they were originally used. Chapter 135 placed the story directly inside that war, and Chapter 136 is expected to show the next phase of the conflict.

What Readers Are Watching For
Fan discussion after Chapter 135 centered on the eight-month time skip and the reveal that Ibuki refused to become a contract bearer in the expected way. The chapter’s final pages moved the focus to the war front, and readers are now waiting to see how Chihiro and the other characters are affected by the conflict’s escalation.
No confirmed spoilers or raw scans for Chapter 136 were available at the time of writing. Speculation from Japanese blogs has focused on Akemura’s role and the possibility of the Enchanted Blade finally entering the battlefield, but those are fan theories rather than confirmed details.
Release Details Summary
Kagurabachi Chapter 136 is projected to release on Sunday, October 25, 2026, for English readers on VIZ Media and MANGA Plus. The Japanese release through Weekly Shonen Jump is expected around the same window. The chapter continues the Seitei War arc that began in Chapter 135, with no official break announced for the series at this time.
