Chapter Release Map

Every manga chapter, anime episode, theatrical film and major milestone, plotted on a calendar from July 1997 to today. Each row is a year, each cell is a calendar week. Brighter gold = more manga chapters that week. Toggle layers to see how anime, film and key events have rolled alongside the manga.

Layers Hover any week
Manga Density Cell brightness = chapters released that calendar week: 1 chapter 2 chapters 3+ chapters (brighter clumps tend to mark volume crossover weeks)

Note: Volume tankōbon dates and anime season boundaries are exact (sourced from Wikipedia). Chapter and episode dates within a volume/season are linearly interpolated weekly — within ±1 week of the real Weekly Shōnen Jump or Fuji TV broadcast date. Hiatuses inside a volume/season are smoothed out. Films and events are exact.
