Blue Lock chapter 261 will be released on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Fans in the United States of America can read the chapter on Kodansha’s K Manga website and application.

The previous installment of Blue Lock shed light on Kaiser’s backstory. Chapter 260 reveals that Kaiser was a child born out of desire, and his mother left him the moment he was born. This turned Kaiser’s father bitter, and he treated his only son poorly.

Kaiser was subjected to horrors of abuse throughout his childhood until his delinquent friend framed him for theft, and the Bastard Munchen player ended up in prison. As per the Blue Lock chapter 261 spoilers, the upcoming installment will continue Kaiser’s backstory.

Hence, his journey with Bastard Munchen, with the help of Ray Dark, will be further explored. Moreover, Blue Lock chapter 261 spoilers reveal Kaiser’s dynamics with Ness and explain that the way he treats Ness is a reflection of how Kaiser’s father raised him.

In the end, Isagi asks Kaiser to kneel in front of him due to his failed attempt at scoring the goal. However, Noa advises Kaiser to fight through adversity and evolve, hinting at potential development between the two players.

Chainsaw Man chapter 165 release date and time

Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will be released on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Fans can read the chapter on Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website. Alternatively, the chapter will also be available on Viz Media’s official website and Shueisha’s Shonen Jump Plus mobile application.

In the previous chapter, Chainsaw Man showed Denji desperately looking for Nayuta. Although Asa and others joined him on his venture, they were of no help to him. Moreover, War Devil Yoru kept pestering Denji to turn into Chainsaw Man and fight her. Asa, too, asked him to do the same so he could live an ordinary life.

However, Denji’s persistence to find Nayuta remains the highlight of the issue. Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will show Denji continuing his search for Nayuta. The issue will also include treating Denji to sushi, followed by helping him in his diligent search.

Furthermore, it can be expected that Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will show Fami locating Nayuta. But her whereabouts will not be revealed easily, and Denji might have to comply with Fami and Yoru’s demands to ensure that Nayuta is safe.

Although no verifiable spoilers are available, Yoru and others will likely take advantage of Denji’s vulnerability in exchange for Nayuta’s details.

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 release date and time

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 will be released on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Readers can access the chapter via Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website and mobile application.

The previous chapter of Oshi no Ko saw the star cast of 15 Year Lie going on a much-needed beach holiday. The movie’s director, Taishi Gotanda, tagged along with the group, later stating that he was not fond of acting like a father on a Sunday.

In the end, surprisingly, Kana told Akane to get back together with Aqua. This happened after Kana tried to lure Aqua by asking him to put sunscreen on her. Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers reveal that the upcoming issue will continue Kana and Akane’s conversation.

According to the Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers, Kana reveals that she observed Aqua and Akane talking in a flirtatious manner with each other. Seeing them burst her bubble, she realized she misunderstood Aqua’s intentions.

However, Akane convinces Kana of her beauty and tells her to pursue Aqua. Although Kana denies the allegations of having feelings for Aqua, Akane tells her that she approves of Kana as Aqua’s ex-girlfriend.

Mairimashita Iruma-Kun chapter 348 release date and time

Mairimashita Iruma-kun chapter 348 will be released on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Interested readers can access the chapter on Akita Shonen and Kodansha’s website.

Mairimashita Iruma-kun’s recent chapter consisted of Jazz and others getting a lamp from Iruma. After they get the lamp, they enter a desolate museum where they strike a cursed doll, and it clings to Lied.

The museum consists of various other ordeals, ending with a horrifying painting that speaks to them. The painting, “The Smiling Galna,” yells at them, and the trio seems paralyzed in fear.

Following the previous chapter’s events, Mairimashita Iruma-kun chapter 348 will continue Jazz, Lied, and Purson’s adventure in the Magitools Moebius Art Museum.

Although there are no verifiable spoilers for the chapter, fans can expect the upcoming issue to show the trio’s interaction with The Smiling Galna. With their terrible experience with the painting, they will likely try to run away from the spot.
