This year's 28th issue of Shueisha 's Weekly Shonen Jump did not print a new chapter of Daisuke Ashihara 's World Trigger manga on Monday due to Ashihara's sudden illness. The magazine announced that the series will continue in the 29th issue on June 20.

Ashihara also took a one-week break in September 2014 to treat the nerve roots affected by cervical spondylosis (wear and tear on neck area of spinal column), and has since taken several one-week breaks due to sudden illness.
