This year's 14th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing on Monday that Tite Kubo's Bleach manga will not appear in the issue.

The magazine's editorial department is posting a notice in the issue, which explains that the manga is taking the break due to the author's "sudden illness." The editorial department apologized to all the manga's readers.

The also notice states that manga is slated to resume in the 15th issue on March 14.

Bleach last took a one-week break due to Kubo's sudden illness in April 2015.

Shueisha released the manga's 71st volume (pictured at right) in Japan on Friday.
