Where in the world is the next chapter of Dragon Ball Super? And more importantly, when are we going to be able to read it?
The Situation So Far
If you haven’t kept up to date with Dragon Ball as of late, allow us to break down the situation at hand. Back in July, the manga went live with its usual monthly chapter, and it was there fans watched as Granolah’s arc came to an end.

As Granolah’s arc came to an end, the powers at be at Shueisha confirmed Dragon Ball Super would be taking a hiatus while its creators brainstormed behind the scenes. Toyotarou, the manga’s illustrator, backed these claims before their monthly updates came to a halt. And after three months, we’ve not heard anything about a comeback.
A Comeback Theory
Of course, fans have been begging for a manga update, and the speculation about Dragon Ball Super returning is growing by the day. As of right now, no official comeback window has been given, but netizens have their own predictions. The biggest theory suggests Dragon Ball will aim for a winter return that aligns with Shueisha’s Jump Festa in December. But if the holidays are too much for Toyotarou, others believed another likely return window is at the start of 2023. After all, there are few better ways to kick off a new year than with Goku, but the hero will hopefully be back long before then.
