Jujutsu Kaisen Finale Sets the Stage for the Return of this Beloved Manga

As the Jujutsu Kaisen manga reaches its highly anticipated finale, Shonen Jump is gearing up for the return of another cherished manga series.

The conclusion of the Jujutsu Kaisen storyline has sparked considerable debate among fans. Many were caught off guard by the abrupt announcement of the ending and the hurried wrap-up, which left some feeling dissatisfied. The narrative culminates in Chapter 271, featuring an ambiguous scene with Sukuna’s finger sealed away.

First published in 2018, Jujutsu Kaisen quickly skyrocketed to global fame, particularly following the anime’s launch in 2020. The last arc, titled Shinjuku Showdown, showcases the sorcerers battling the primary antagonists. The prolonged conflict against the King of Curses has proven to be both the most challenging and the most extensive.

The Jujutsu Kaisen finale grants Sukuna a fitting conclusion. This concluding chapter will be available on September 29, 2024, via the official Manga Plus app. However, the beloved Shonen classic Hunter x Hunter is slated to make its comeback the following week, taking over the slot occupied by Jujutsu Kaisen in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Created by Yoshihiro Togashi, this manga stands as one of the Shonen classics originating from the 1990s. Nevertheless, the series has frequently entered indefinite hiatuses due to the health issues faced by the mangaka.

The most recent release, Chapter 400, appeared on December 25, 2022. Presently, readers find themselves in the midst of the Succession Contest Arc, which presents the 14 princes of the Kakin Empire.

These princes are anticipated to engage in a brutal fight to the death as the Black Whale embarks on a journey to the Dark Continent. The saga will carry on with Chapter 401, scheduled for release on October 6, 2024. Thus far, the mangaka has produced at least 16 chapters and is actively sharing updates on Twitter/X.
