Synopsis

Hidden in plain sight, an age-old conflict rages on. Supernatural monsters known as Curses terrorize humanity from the shadows, and powerful humans known as Jujutsu sorcerers use mystical arts to exterminate them. When high school student Yuuji Itadori finds a dried-up finger of the legendary Curse Sukuna Ryoumen, he suddenly finds himself joining this bloody conflict.

Attacked by a Curse attracted to the finger's power, Yuuji makes a reckless decision to protect himself, gaining the power to combat Curses in the process but also unwittingly unleashing the malicious Sukuna into the world once more. Though Yuuji can control and confine Sukuna to his own body, the Jujutsu world classifies Yuuji as a dangerous, high-level Curse who must be exterminated.

Detained and sentenced to death, Yuuji meets Satoru Gojou—a teacher at Jujutsu High School—who explains that despite his imminent execution, there is an alternative for him. Being a rare vessel to Sukuna, if Yuuji were to die, then Sukuna would perish too. Therefore, if Yuuji were to consume the many other remnants of Sukuna, then Yuuji's subsequent execution would truly eradicate the malicious demon. Taking up this chance to make the world safer and live his life for a little longer, Yuuji enrolls in Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, jumping headfirst into a harsh and unforgiving battlefield.

Background

As a part of the JUMP START initiative, the first three chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen were published in English in VIZ Media's digital Weekly Shonen Jump on the same day as the Japanese release. After, the series was added to the MANGA Plus simulpub service, and has been released in print by the same publisher since December 3, 2019. It has also been released in Brazilian Portuguese by Panini Comics since August 21, 2020; and in Polish by Waneko since May 5, 2021.

First, one must consider that it's a weekly published shounen manga with its stereotypical flaws and pitfalls, and readers should expect that they exists here as well.

Considering that, Jujutsu Kaisen is overall a very engaging story, with great characters, great consistent themes and a fun power system.

The characters are very engaging with good narratives and arcs. But most of all, I love how so many characters parallel, mirror and contrast each other, giving each other more depth and showcasing the circle of violence, isolation and negativity that the new gen has to break.

The themes are very consistent throughout with good conclusions and are very enjoyable, ...

I'm pretty sick while writing this so please forgive this nonsensical review.

This might be a strong take to start off with but I feel like Gege Akutami owes to give half of the credit for JJK to Kubo Tite, Masashi Kishimoto, and Studio Mappa as it feels like its strong start was owed largely to them and it felt like he had no idea what he was doing after Shibuya.

Now, onto the actual review portions. I, like many others, was introduced to JJK through the anime adaptation and there was a lot to love at the start. Although many of the elements of the ...

Hokuto no Ken II, Post-Varia Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Post-Arima Makibao make for a better read than Jujutsu post-Shibuya, creating the king of all "this manga should have ended ages ago," truly a feat to be remembered.

It's hard to believe the same author that did Mahito and Junpei spent 2 years having the characters explain their powers in (non-chronological order sometimes) in a slugfest of "actually I'm behind you now" "actually two weeks ago I made a pact that whenever someone is behind me, I get to be behind them now, so I'm behind you now." If Gege is asked their favorite character, they'll probably ...
