Kagurabachi readers are waiting for the next step in the Seitei War flashback. Chapter 136 introduced the Mikaboshi Six and showed Shurin’s real face, ending with a captured Sorcery Bureau agent being questioned about Japan’s plans. Chapter 137 is expected to continue that interrogation and the larger conflict. The next chapter is projected to arrive on Sunday, November 1, 2026, through VIZ Media and MANGA Plus in English. This guide covers the expected release time for readers in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, India, and other regions, along with a clear recap of Chapter 136 and confirmed details about the series.
Kagurabachi Chapter 137 Release Date and Time
Kagurabachi normally publishes new English chapters on Sundays through VIZ Media and MANGA Plus. The release schedule for 2026 lists Chapter 137 as a projected release for November 1, 2026. This date follows the regular weekly pattern and has not been marked as a break week in the available schedule.
Release times for recent chapters have followed a consistent window. New chapters typically arrive at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time and 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Sundays. The same timing is expected for Chapter 137. Based on that window, readers in other regions can plan around the following times:
- USA (Pacific Time): 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026
- USA (Eastern Time): 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026
- UK (GMT): 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026
- Canada (Eastern Time): 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026
- Australia (AEDT): 3:00 a.m. on Monday, November 2, 2026
- India (IST): 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026
These times are based on the standard Sunday release window and may shift if Shueisha changes the magazine schedule. Weekly Shonen Jump publishes in Japan on Mondays, while English chapters arrive through VIZ and MANGA Plus alongside the Japanese release. Official platforms remain the most reliable place to confirm the exact minute a chapter goes live.
What Happened in Kagurabachi Chapter 136
Chapter 136 moved the story deeper into the Seitei War flashback and focused on the enemy side. The chapter opened with a Sorcery Bureau agent being held prisoner by the Mikaboshi clan. Readers learned how the clan separates pure-blooded members from those with mixed blood. Black eyes and black fingernails mark pure-blooded Mikaboshi, and people with compatibility with the Datenseki stone hold an advantage within the group.
The chapter introduced the six guardians who lead the faction’s power: Audiu, Bonsoro, Raw-Law, Yukifu, Zukon, and Shurin. Their designs stood out from one another, with masked Bonsoro, expressive Yukifu, and imposing Zukon drawing particular attention. The group met to discuss the war and their next move toward Tokyo, but they still needed to locate the Datenseki stone or Princess Chiaki.
A lone survivor brought news that changed the meeting. Japanese forces had forged a sword infused with the power of Datenseki. Several guardians doubted the report because their people treat the stone as sacred. Shurin explained that swordsmiths may create prototype weapons while testing new materials, and Japan may have been buying time to build a new arsenal. He decided to investigate personally.
The chapter’s major reveal came when Shurin approached the captured agent and showed his true appearance. He does not have pure-blooded Mikaboshi traits. He also revealed that he is Audiu’s younger brother. His actions are driven by a need to prove he is worthy because his body does not show the visible signs expected of a pure-blooded member. The chapter ended with Shurin questioning the agent about Japan’s plans.
Where to Read Kagurabachi Officially
Kagurabachi is available through two official English services. VIZ Shonen Jump provides the series’ official chapter archive and new English releases. MANGA Plus provides official English chapters directly from Shueisha. Both services publish chapters alongside the Japanese release, subject to regional availability.
The latest three chapters are available for free on the MANGA Plus website, and all chapters are free on the MANGA Plus app. Readers who want to catch up before Chapter 137 can use either platform to read the Seitei War flashback from the beginning.
Why Kagurabachi Has Taken Breaks in 2026
Kagurabachi has experienced several schedule changes in 2026. The series went on an extended summer hiatus after Chapter 125 so creator Takeru Hokazono could rest. It resumed with Chapter 126 on July 26 in the U.S. Another interruption followed in September because of the author’s illness, and Chapter 132 arrived on September 27.
These breaks explain why chapter numbers have not increased every week. The schedule distinguishes confirmed release dates from projections, and later dates can change if the series takes another break. The December 27 year-end magazine break is also listed as a projection, not a confirmed date. Readers should check VIZ and MANGA Plus for the latest official schedule before planning around a specific chapter date.
