One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, MHA Chapter Leaks Moved From Wednesdays To Thursdays Due To Foreign Leakers Arrested In Japan
The leaks schedule shift received quite a varied set of opinions from fans, basically dividing them into two sections.
Shonen manga leakers have received some major news that would change their whole schedule FOREVER! On Feb 4, 2024, two foreigners were arrested in Japan for leaking images of Weekly Shonen Jump series chapters before the magazine issue was released officially.
These developments have struck fear in the minds of online leakers, thereby making them announce that leaks for popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga like One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, which usually drop on Tuesdays and Wednesdays every week, will be dropping on Thursdays henceforth.
Major leakers of the aforementioned series have made this announcement on their Twitter handles.
Wednesday leaks have officially ended. There will be no more JJK or One Piece raws on Wednesdays, as the release schedule will now move to the next day. This change is due to the arrest of the store owners. https://t.co/NQbX0Odfux

The news has caused quite an impact on the scanlation website owners, as one of them, Scanpiea Scanlations, who are renowned for posting WSJ leaks earlier than others for several weeks, has already closed their Twitter account.
Adding to that, Scanpiea Scanlations who have been posting Jump leaks early for several weeks have already closed their Twitter account just now. https://t.co/EMRKb7FEZQ

The leaks schedule shift received quite a varied set of opinions from fans, basically dividing them into two sections: those who don’t want their favorite manga to be leaked in order to support the original creators and those who miss tuning in to the leaks on Wednesdays.
Those who are happy with these developments feel that leaks deprive them of the real joy of reading the entire chapter without knowing anything beforehand and that they can avoid leakers’ biases (atleast for a day). Here are some of their reactions:
Wish this started sooner. I only keep up with leaks because it’s too hard to dodge spoilers https://t.co/FbuL0KSEOk pic.twitter.com/UMUYLMJTaB

And those who are not happy openly showed their disappointment that their Tuesdays and Wednesdays wouldn’t be so lively henceforth and are stuck hearing boring lectures in their math classes…

However, some people on social media are under the assumption that leaks are completely wiped out. No! They’re merely shifted to the next day to avoid Japanese cyber police from dropping to their addresses…
