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.

Amazing manga for most part, the art is simply peak, the power system and fights are very well made and satisfying to read, the story and build up is really paying off for most part, the one thing that makes it go downhill a bit it's the last 20 or so chapters, they have their good moments too, but as many great manga in recent years it suffers from having a somewhat unsatisfying ending, simply it doesnt really match all the stakes and build ups till that point. Though, I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great shonen.Keeping it as spoiler free ...

Mixed Feelings
After having read JJK, I'm left with a sour feeling.

I loved the story when it first came out. It felt like it had been a long time since we'd seen a good, dark shonen. and expectations were high from the get-go.
Luckily, GEGE really pulled through and gave us some of the most memorables characters and arcs in recent memory. For better or worse, most of the characters in JJK are going to be remembered for a long time.

The highlight of this manga was definetively the Shibuya arc, where every plot point from the beggining of the show either expanded or closed. It also ...
Feb 22, 2025
It pains me to say it, but this manga got popular off of Mappa's flashy art style, hot male characters and fan service. None of which even is in this manga.

You can tell this is the first big project from this author. It's so painfully obvious.

This manga starts slow, painfully similar to any other shonen. It's nothing special. Then shibuya is incredible, beautiful and so so interesting, and then it's a nothing burger till the end. Its author shows no respect for any character or structure he has put in place before, disregards all logic and mostly does whatever the heck he wants just ...
