Less than a month after saying goodbye to My Hero Academia, we sadly have to prepare ourselves for the departure of another beloved action title.
Publisher Shueisha’s latest Jump Press program today announced that Gege Akutami’s JUJUTSU KAISEN manga will conclude after five more chapters in Issue #44 of Weekly Shonen Jump, which is scheduled to release on September 30, 2024.
Akutami commented on the final chapters, saying:
The story will end in 5 chapters.
I only got to tell the story I wanted thanks to the help and support of all my readers.
Thank youuu!!
I am hard at work on creating a finale that will (probably) satisfy as many people as possible who have supported JUJUTSU KAISEN.
So, everyone, please go easy on me!!
JUJUTSU KAISEN is set to reach 271 chapters upon its conclusion since first appearing in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2018. It was reported in December last year that the series had surpassed 90 million copies in circulation. An official English version is published by Viz Media.
Crunchyroll streams both current seasons of the popular anime adaptation and describes the story:
Follow young Yuji Itadori in this dark supernatural action series as he begins training in the dangerous arts of jujutsu sorcery and explores the violent world of curses!
Yuji Itadori eats a cursed finger to save a classmate, and now Ryomen Sukuna, a powerfully evil sorcerer known as the King of Curses, lives in Itadori’s soul. Curses are supernatural terrors created from negative human emotions. This cursed energy can be used as a power source by jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits alike.
Guided by the jujutsu sorcerers, Yuji Itadori joins Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses. Mentored by his teacher Satoru Gojo, Itadori befriends Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, both first-year students.
