 This year's 52nd issue of Weekly Shounen Jump announced on Monday that a television anime adaptation of Akutami Gege's Jujutsu Kaisen (Sorcery Fight) manga is in production. The issue also revealed three main cast members.Synopsis In a world where demons feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryoumen Sukuna were lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna's body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the undead! Yuuji Itadori is high schooler who spends his days visiting his bedridden grandfather. Although he looks like your average teenager, his immense physical strength is something to behold! Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object, but little do they know the terror they'll unleash when they break the seal... (Source: VIZ Media, edited) Cast Yuuji Itadori: Junya Enoki (Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu) Megumi Fushiguro: Yuuma Uchida (Banana Fish) Nobara Kugisaki: Asami Seto (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari) The three cast members will attend at a stage event at Jump Festa 2020 on December 22, where more info about the anime series will be revealed. Gege published a four-chapter prototype titled Tokyo Toritsu Jujutsu Koutou Senmon Gakkou (Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical School) in Jump GIGA from April to July 2017. The supernatural action manga debuted as a regular series in Weekly Shounen Jump the following March. Shueisha published the seventh volume on October 4, with both the eighth and ninth volumes scheduled for a January 4, 2020 release. Jujutsu Kaisen has a cumulative 2 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation. VIZ Media published the first three chapters of the manga in English, at the same time as Japan, in its digital Weekly Shounen Jump magazine as a part its Jump Start initiative. The company now simulpubs the manga digitally with the Japanese release through its Shounen Jump service. The first volume will ship on December 3. Shueisha also began simulpublishing the manga in English on its Manga Plus platform this January.

A second volume, subtitled Yoake no Ibara Michi (Thorny Path at Dawn), also written by Kitakuni, will go on sale on January 4, 2020. Weekly Shounen Jump streamed three promotional videos on its official YouTube channel last December in commemoration of the simultaneous release of volume three and volume zero (prototype). Voice actor Yuuichi Nakamura (World Trigger) narrated the promos as the character Satoru Gojou.

No, it won't hurt anything because you don't have any idea what you're talking about, if anything, this will give a huge boost to the manga in Japan. Mal shouldn't be a measure for anything with poor ratingsor reception, as companies don't care for those things and don't even know about mal, they care for popularity, regardless if some dislike or hate a series, if there's a sizeable part who likes Also, Shounen isn't a genre, it's a demographic and this and other series are just battle manga/battle anime. |
| More dark shounen is always appreciated!X3 |

| I think I'll give it a chance. By the way, it doesn’t seem to much original but I’ll watch it before say anything. |
 |
| i read the manga and this could be potential to be one of the best shounen anime. just hope the studio handle this pretty well... |
| Jujutsu Kaisen is Getting an Anime and I might pick it up before hand. We only need an Anime studio (Hopefully Shaft or even Cloverworks) to Pick up Act-Age so we can have an Anime of every good NEW WSJ series. |
