Dragon Ball Super Volume 24was released in Japan last week, and while there is yet no official information aboutDragon Ball Superresuming in the near future, fans can celebrate that the series has reached a major milestone.
Dragon Ball Superhas been on hiatus for some time. It started an indefinite break in March 2024, and briefly returned last February, when a special chapter was published. However, there is no information about when the long-awaited Chapter 205 will be released.
Dragon Ball Super Reaches Major Milestone
Shueisha revealed that, after DBS Volume 24 was released,the series has reached over 12 million copies in circulation— apparently, this number only refers to the copies in Japan. While this may seem like nothing compared to the original manga, which has sold approximately 260 million copies worldwide,Dragon Ball Superis serialized in a niche magazine,V-JUMP, and not inShonen Jump.
WhileShonen Jumpis a weekly magazine with a circulation of about 1.7 million copies per issue,V-JUMPis a monthly magazine that usually sells about 187 thousand copies per issue. Considering this, it is amazing that a title published inV-JUMPhas sold so many copies.
Volume 24 concluded the Super Hero Saga, sothe next chapter, which will be Chapter 205, will start a brand-new arc. Fans speculate that the serieswill finally enter the highly anticipated Black Frieza arc, but Toyotaro hasn’t revealed anything about the next saga.
A special video was also released to celebrate the new volume:

The latest issue ofV-JUMP,released at the end of March 2025, didn’t reveal any information aboutthe return of the series. Fans were expecting some good news, but they were frustrated when the magazine came out.
However, in the last pages of Volume 24, there is(April 21), andit featuresDragon Ballamong many other series. Some fans took thisas a sign thatDBSmight still return this month, but it could just be that they were highlighting the main titles that are currently serialized in the magazine, and not necessarily the titles that will drop new chapters in the upcoming issue.
Unfortunately, it seems fans will have to wait until the magazine is out tolearn what the ad really means, and maybe finally get some good news about the series.
