The popular manga series Kagurabachi is getting ready to drop its next chapter. Fans have been following the intense flashback arc showing the events before the Seitei War. The story recently showed Kunishige Rokuhira receiving a goodbye letter, and now everyone wants to see what happens next.
The good news is that the wait is almost over. Kagurabachi Chapter 124 is scheduled to come out on June 7, 2026. For most global readers, the chapter will show up on Sunday, June 7 depending on where you live. Japanese readers will get it on Monday, June 8.
Where to Read Chapter 124 for Free
You can read the new chapter on two official platforms. Both Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media offer the latest chapters for free. Manga Plus is available in many countries and gives readers the first and latest three chapters at no cost. Viz Media’s Shonen Jump service also puts out new chapters at the same time as Japan’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
The release times usually follow this schedule:
- USA (East Coast): Around 11:00 AM on Sunday
- UK: Around 4:00 PM on Sunday
- India: Around 8:30 PM on Sunday
- Australia: Around 2:00 AM on Monday
What Just Happened in the Story
The manga has been showing the past for several chapters. Chiaki Soga is in a difficult position because her own people made a tough choice to keep a temporary peace. The latest chapter ended with Kunishige holding a farewell letter, and readers are waiting to see how he will respond.
The story is at a major turning point. The politics behind the Enchanted Blades are becoming clearer, and things are starting to heat up. Fans are eager to see if Kunishige will follow the rules or break them to protect someone important to him.
The Series Had a Short Break Recently
Kagurabachi took a one-week break in May 2026. Creator Takeru Hokazono got sick suddenly, so Weekly Shonen Jump pushed back chapter 122. The break was short. The manga came back in the magazine’s 26th issue on May 25, 2026.
This is not the first time Hokazono needed a break. The manga also paused for one week in June 2025 because of another sudden illness. There was also a break in October 2025 for production reasons. Fans have been very understanding and sent messages hoping the author gets enough rest.
What to Expect in Chapter 124
The next chapter will likely show Kunishige Rokuhira making a big decision. The official plan to create the Enchanted Blades was rejected by a panel of experts because of safety risks. But Kunishige might go against that decision to save Chiaki Soga from being handed over to a foreign country as part of a peace deal.
Kunishige may start working on the blades in secret. His old friends could also show up to help him or stop him. The chapter will probably show the first spark that leads to the creation of the legendary swords that drive the whole story.
How Popular Is Kagurabachi Right Now
The manga has grown a lot since it started in September 2023. As of April 2026, Kagurabachi has 4 million copies in circulation. That is a big jump from 2.2 million in May 2025.
An anime adaptation is also on the way. The TV series is set to premiere in April 2027. This news has made even more people pick up the manga to get ready for the show.
