As some of the big names in manga like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen wind down, Shounen Jump is making room for fresh talent. One of the latest newcomers is Empyreal Cabinet, a new manga that’s quickly catching attention for its stunning art and intriguing themes.
Created by Fumiji Yuba, Empyreal Cabinet debuted on August 15 and has been drawing in readers with its blend of Japanese mythology and modern political issues. The story centers on Toya Tatsumori, a spellcaster tasked with hunting down and exorcising monsters in a Japan where these creatures are a constant threat. However, it turns out that humans can sometimes be more dangerous than the monsters themselves. This dark fantasy series is shaping up to be a hit among fans of the genre.
The first two chapters have set a strong foundation, providing insight into the story and its world. Unfortunately, after these initial chapters, the series went on a brief hiatus. If it had followed a weekly release schedule, Chapter 3 would have been out on August 29, but that wasn’t the case. This pause has only heightened anticipation for what comes next.
When will Chapter 3 of Empyreal Cabinet be released? Fans can look forward to its English release via Viz Media on Thursday, September 5, at 10 AM CDT. You can also catch it on the Manga Plus website and app, where it’s available to read legally and free of charge.
The length of Chapter 3 is still a mystery, but given the varying lengths of Chapters 1 and 2—61 and 89 pages respectively—it’s unlikely that the author will maintain this extended format for long. While you wait, you might want to explore other manga in Viz Media’s collection to tide you over.
