Where to Start the One Piece Manga After the Anime

An unofficial fan guide by Yomikomi. Last checked: November 9, 2026. Chapter and volume numbers refer to the Japanese edition.

Spoilers: Chapter and volume numbers up to Japanese Vol. 115, plus the fact that Vols. 113–115 move between the past and the present. No story details from those volumes. The latest magazine chapter is mentioned by number only.

Quick answer: where does the One Piece anime end in the manga?

As of November 9, 2026, the One Piece anime is on a break after Episode 1180, which aired on September 27, 2026 and roughly matches Chapter 1150 of the manga. To continue the story, start at Chapter 1151, in Japanese Vol. 113. The official ONE PIECE staff account on X has announced a return in 2027 (post in Japanese), but no date for Episode 1181 has been announced.

The short version

What you want to know Answer (as of November 9, 2026)
Last anime episode before the break Episode 1180 (aired September 27, 2026)
Where that is in the manga Around Chapter 1150 (Japanese Vol. 113)
Where to start reading Chapter 1151, Japanese Vol. 113 (to be safe, start one chapter earlier)
Next episode Episode 1181: return in 2027 announced by the official staff account on X; date not announced
Latest Japanese volume Vol. 115 (released July 3, 2026)
Next Japanese volume Vol. 116, scheduled for December 4, 2026
English edition (VIZ) Vol. 113 scheduled for November 10, 2026 (U.S.)

Episode 1180 is not Chapter 1180. Episode 1180 is the anime episode that aired on September 27, 2026, and it covers roughly Chapter 1150. Chapter 1180 is a manga chapter about 30 chapters further along. Search suggestions for "one piece 1180" mostly point to the manga chapter, so check which one a page is talking about.

Where to start reading: pick your starting point

If you... Start at Japanese volumes
Remember the last episode well and want to keep going Chapter 1151 Vol. 113 onward
Want a quick refresher first Chapter 1145 (the first chapter of Vol. 113) Vol. 113 onward
Want to start the manga from where the anime's Elbaph Arc began Chapter 1126 (matches Episode 1156, aired April 5, 2026) Vol. 111 onward

Chapter 1151 (keep going). Japanese Vol. 113 collects Chapters 1145 to 1155, so Chapter 1151 sits in the second half of the volume. Our table below matches Episode 1180 to Chapter 1150, but episodes and chapters don't always line up exactly, so if you want to be safe, start one chapter earlier, at Chapter 1150.

Chapter 1145 (refresher). Opening Vol. 113 from the first page takes you back to the material of Episode 1175, so you reread the last six episodes' worth of story before reaching new chapters. This is a good choice if it has been a while since you watched.

Chapter 1126 (from the anime's first Elbaph episode). Episode 1156, which aired on April 5, 2026, matches Chapter 1126 in Japanese Vol. 111. Vol. 111 covers Chapters 1122 to 1133, and the official ONE PIECE.com listing places both the Egghead and Elbaph arcs in it.

What's in Japanese Vols. 113–115 (no spoilers)

Japanese volume Chapters Note
Vol. 113 1145–1155 Contains the anime's stopping point (around Chapter 1150); the new material starts at Chapter 1151.
Vol. 114 1156–1166 Released March 4, 2026 (Japan).
Vol. 115 From 1167 Latest volume, released July 3, 2026 (Japan).

Based on the official volume descriptions (ONE PIECE.com and the Shonen Jump site in Japan), Vol. 113 ends as a long look back at the past begins, Vol. 114 is set in the past, and Vol. 115 includes both the past story and the present. If you jump in at Chapter 1151 and the setting suddenly changes, you haven't skipped anything; that is how the volumes are arranged. We don't describe what happens in the past story here.

Is there an English edition of Vol. 113?

VIZ Media lists its English edition of One Piece Vol. 113 for release on November 10, 2026 (U.S. date). VIZ's page does not list the chapters in that volume, so we can't yet confirm that it matches the Japanese Vol. 113 (Chapters 1145–1155). We will update this line once we have checked it.

How long is the One Piece hiatus?

The anime finished its 2026 run with Episode 1180 on September 27, 2026. That same day (Japan time), the official ONE PIECE staff account on X posted, in Japanese, that the anime will return in 2027 and that details on timing will follow. As of November 9, 2026, no date for Episode 1181 has been announced, and neither has the chapter it will start from.

We don't guess at dates or pass on rumors. We'll update this page when there is an announcement.

Why the anime takes breaks now

In an English announcement dated November 7, 2025, Toei Animation described a new production schedule starting in 2026: approximately 26 new episodes per year in a two-cour format, with a three-month hiatus from January through March. According to Toei, the aim is for the anime to "more closely reflect the manga's content, rhythm, and pacing." The Japanese announcement on ONE PIECE.com (October 28, 2025) gives the figure as up to 26. The Elbaph Arc simulcast resumed on April 5, 2026, and the 2026 run ended with Episode 1180.

Separately, the film ONE PIECE FILM GOD VALLEY is scheduled for summer 2027, according to an announcement on ONE PIECE.com dated August 23, 2026. The announcement does not say which part of the story the film covers.

Elbaph Arc: anime episode to manga chapter (Episodes 1156–1180)

In the Elbaph Arc so far, the chapter number is the episode number minus 30: Episode 1156 matches Chapter 1126, and each episode moves forward one chapter from there.

We put this table together by comparing episode and chapter content; it is not an official chart. The ranges are not always exact, and a scene from one chapter can move into the episode before or after. If you want to be safe, start one chapter earlier than the table suggests.
