Following the 100 million milestone for the manga, JUJUTSU KAISEN volume 28 is set to hit stands in Japan on October 4, 2024, followed by the final two volumes, 29 and 30, on December 25. VIZ Media publishes the official English version of the manga. 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.
