Jujutsu Kaisen: Why is there no chapter 248 this week?

The last chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen ended with intense suspense, but the rest will not be available immediately. We explain why.

The battle is in full swing in Jujutsu Kaisen, as the exorcists unite to try to take down the most powerful character in the manga, Sukuna. His victims continue to pile up in no man’s land, and Hiromi and Choso risk passing through there too.

But Yuji has finally moved, and even seems on the verge of ensuring the victory of the exorcists: while Hiromi is mortally struck and drops his sword, the young protagonist recovers the tool and goes to deliver a fatal blow to the king of plagues.

The use of the sword is not trivial: it would be, according to Yuji’s words, the only way to save Megumi, whose body is occupied by Sukuna. But if Hiromi Higuruma agrees to sacrifice himself, it is because the exorcists have necessarily developed a solid plan to guarantee them victory.

Unfortunately, readers won’t be able to experience said plan this week. We tell you when chapter 248 of Jujutsu Kaisen will be released, and especially why it will not be available right away.

Why Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 is not releasing this week?

Due to the Shonen Jump magazine hiatus, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 will not be released until January 21, 2024. This next part will be available from 4 p.m. in France, free of charge on Manga Plus.

What happens in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga?

Jujutsu Kaisen is currently in its home stretch, as it features an intense battle against the King of Banes. Not to mention that Kenjaku’s plans are still unclear after Yuta’s attack.
