Chainsaw Man chapter 228 due Feb 3, 2026 — when and where to read

Chainsaw Man chapter 228 from Tatsuki Fujimoto is set to release on February 3, 2026 at 7:00 AM Pacific / 10:00 AM Eastern (3:00 PM GMT), the GamesRadar+ schedule says.

The chapter will get a simultaneous worldwide release outside Japan, so readers should be able to access it immediately on their chosen platform without facing spoilers.

There are two official ways to read the manga online: the Manga Plus app by Shueisha and the Viz Media app. Both let you read the most recent three chapters and the first chapter for free, though a subscription is required for more access.

Chainsaw Man’s release cadence has been inconsistent — typically biweekly but sometimes longer or even weekly — so new chapters often appear every other Tuesday in a perfect world, though that can change.

As of chapter 228, the manga is on the Current Arc, part of the ongoing Academy Saga; there have been 16 arcs to date. The anime is set to adapt the sixth arc, the International Assassins Arc, in Chainsaw Man’s second season.

Release timings remain subject to change, so stick with GamesRadar+ for updates on future chapters and schedule shifts.
