Latest tracked remains Episode 47. Fan chapter numbers after the finale often map to Season 3 Episode 1 intent — both cluster into the Season 3 authority page.

What We Know About Drunken My Boss Chapter 48

Drunken My Boss (official English title: The Drunken Boss) is the mature GL manhwa by BBTan. Season 1 closed at Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale); Season 2 premiered May 23, 2025 and reached Episode 47 (Season 2 Finale). Across Lezhin listing notes, scanlation mirrors, and reader hubs, Episode 47 is widely treated as the Season 2 end marker — which is why searches for the next chapter spiked after the finale.

As of September 15, 2026, licensed English and Korean catalogs still stop at Episode 47. That means Drunken My Boss Chapter 48 has not published on Lezhin US or Bomtoon Korea. The series is not finished — between season 2 and season 3, not cancelled.

- Latest verified story release: Episode 47 (Episode 47 (Season 2 Finale)).
- Season 2 status: Completed — on hiatus.
- Season 3 status: Expected — no premiere date yet.
- Prior schedule: Previously weekly on Friday; currently on hiatus.
- Lezhin listing badges may still show weekly Friday serialization even while the series is between seasons.

Numbering Note

Chapter 48 vs Season 3 Episode 1

Readers hunting Chapter 48 are usually asking the same question as "When is Season 3 Episode 1?" Fan chapter labels keep counting after Episode 47, while official English shelves may restart the next arc as a new season episode. Until a licensed page updates, treat the next installment, the post-finale upload, and Season 3 Episode 1 as one watch event.

Why Fake Upload Dates Appear for the Next Chapter

Aggregator pages sometimes claim the upcoming episode is already live, or invent a calendar for Chapter 48. Those dates are not treated as confirmation here. Experience and trustworthiness on this hub mean we cite licensed shelves first, then cross-check community discussion — never the reverse.

Support the creator on Lezhin US (The Drunken Boss) or Bomtoon Korea. When Drunken My Boss Chapter 48 does appear officially, we will update this page and the Season 3 guide within the same review window.

What to Expect

Story Context Before the Next Upload

The Cha Iseul / Cha Yiseul and Kang Sori slow-burn remains the emotional core fans want to see continue. Season 2 closed on a finale beat, so the next licensed chapter — whether labeled Chapter 48 or Season 3 Episode 1 — is expected to reopen their workplace romance after the hiatus, not to rewrite Season 1. Until then, catch up through the chapter list and the Season 2 guide.

FAQ

Chapter 48 / 49 FAQ

When is Drunken My Boss Chapter 48 release date?

The next installment is not released. As of September 15, 2026, this hub tracks through Episode 47 (Episode 47 (Season 2 Finale)). Season 2 is completed — on hiatus, so there is no confirmed next-chapter upload date.

When is Drunken My Boss Chapter 49 release date?

Chapter 49 is also not released. Until Chapter 48 / Season 3 Episode 1 appears on a licensed platform, later chapter dates remain unconfirmed speculation.

Is Chapter 48 the same as Season 3 Episode 1?

Fan and scanlation numbering often continues as Chapter 48 after Episode 47, while official English listings may label the return as Season 3 Episode 1. Both searches point to the same between-season wait. We only publish a firm date when an official listing changes.

Why do some aggregator sites say Chapter 48 is already out?

Unofficial mirrors sometimes invent upload calendars or recycle old episode pages. This site ignores pirate calendars. Confirmation only counts when Lezhin US (The Drunken Boss) or Bomtoon Korea lists a new licensed episode after Episode 47.

Where should I check for the next chapter?

Start with Lezhin US (English) and Bomtoon Korea (Korean). Then re-check this page and the Season 3 guide within 48 hours of any official listing change.
