There comes a point in the narrative in which things begin to feel jumbled and at times bogged down. Characters engage in too much unnecessary commentary (I'm a fan of Dragon Ball so talking during fights doesn't bother me but it should have purpose and it just doesn't feel purposeful in JJK in the later arcs), the action delivers in a hit or miss fashion because of this, and at times it feels like the story has to stop to explain something that maybe could have been shown or explained in a more active, engaging way.
One of the biggest selling points of the story that got me to read it, was how the narrative treated its female characters. True to the hype, the girls and women have different personalities, they don't have their boobs out all the time, and they do function within the story at least to a point. Much like the narrative in general, there's a place in the story in which this stops being as true and there's an egregious example of this that really made me mad but I want to keep this spoiler free so I won't go into details but I'm still sore about it even a few weeks after the fact.
That said, all of this qualms I have with this manga aren't unique to this manga and do happen in other Jump titles. I think that part of it is simply it's difficult to be consistent with a weekly title running for years on end and there's going to come a point where things can get off the rails with the editor isn't a good match ot the mangaka or the mangaka doesn't have the ability to pull everything together in a satisfying way at the end. This is very much one of those manga where I don't regret reading it but I do feel relieved that it's over and I'm not sure I'll keep watching the anime since I've already seen what I thought were the best parts of the story animated. It's a shame it went this way and couldn't keep up the promises in the first part of the story.
If you like Shounen Jump action centered manga and liked Bleach, you will likely like Jutusu Kaisen. If you're looking for something that doesn't fizzle by the end (even though it wasn't necessarily a terrible fizzle) then you might want to try a different title. That said, the first arc is really good and worth reading even if there comes a point you don't want to finish the manga.
