The Ura Files Chapter 4: Release Date, Time and Everything You Need to Know

If you have been following The Ura Files closely like I have, you will have to wait just a little longer for Chapter 4. Due to Weekly Shonen Jump taking its scheduled magazine-wide hiatus for Silver Week, the series is currently on a brief break.

Below, I have rounded up the updated release schedule, exact drop times across all major time zones, and my breakdown of what is coming next in Shun Numa and Yuushin Kuroki’s new rom-com.

When Does The Ura Files Chapter 4 Come Out?

Weekly Shonen Jump is observing its Silver Week break from September 19 through September 26, which pushes The Ura Files Chapter 4 to Monday, September 28, 2026, at 12:00 AM JST in Japan. That means we are waiting roughly two weeks after Chapter 3 instead of the usual seven-day turnaround.

For international readers, the chapter drops on Sunday, September 27, 2026, because of the time difference.

You can read the chapter simultaneously on Manga Plus by Shueisha and the Shonen Jump app, both carrying the official English translation. Viz Media also hosts the series digitally, offering the three most recent chapters for free, while an active subscription gives you access to their complete digital catalog.

The Ura Files Chapter 3 Recap and What to Expect Next

Chapter 3 took the surveillance assignment out of the classroom and tossed Momotaro Kibitsu straight into the chaos of a group karaoke session. Tasked with closely observing the oni descendant Ura to confirm whether she poses an actual supernatural danger to national security, Kibitsu spent most of the outing wrestling with his own internal panic as Ura’s disarming, eccentric personality completely threw him off balance.

What stood out to me most was how seamlessly the chapter blurred the lines between a serious undercover intelligence operation and an accidental high school date, leaning heavily on Kuroki’s expressive visual comedy and Kibitsu’s defensive overthinking.

Heading into Chapter 4, I expect the story to build directly on that tension as Kibitsu scrambles to re-establish his professional boundaries after nearly losing his composure.

Every new scenario continues to test his rigid discipline against Ura’s casual, unpredictable nature, and I anticipate the next chapter will pile on even more pressure, either through another absurd school event or direct surveillance scrutiny from his agency that forces him to double down on his cover.
