An insightful review of One Piece Chapter 1162 Official Release Timeline and Global Launch Schedule—check out the essential highlights.

Simultaneous international publication has eliminated the days when Western readers had to wait months for licensed tankōbon volumes. Shueisha coordinates digital distribution across continents down to the exact second. When Chapter 1162 hits newsstands in Japan at midnight on Monday morning, domestic and international readers access identical panels instantaneously.

The official English translation is handled under direct licensing agreements with Viz Media, alongside global multi-language distributions on Shueisha’s own Manga Plus service. International release times correspond directly to midnight Japan Standard Time (JST). For audiences across the Americas, the chapter becomes accessible on Sunday morning, while European and Asian readers access it during Sunday afternoon and late evening.
