Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen is a beloved battle shonen manga. It takes place in a world where the accumulation of negative emotions brings forth cursed spirits, posing a danger to humanity’s well-being.
Despite the constant danger, Jujutsu sorcerers are dedicated to facing curses and mentoring young students to do the same. Unfortunately, the fight against curses is an endless one, as they will always exist as long as humans do.
The Shinjuku Showdown Arc marks the end of the series, as it depicts the ultimate confrontation against the King of Curses.

Despite his efforts to move on, Taro’s past catches up to him, causing him to once again fight for the protection of his loved ones. Currently, Sakamoto Days has 178 chapters and is currently in its ninth story arc.
3. Taste
In Dandadan, Momo Ayase and her classmate Okarun are the main characters. Despite Momo’s strong belief in ghosts, Okarun is convinced that aliens exist.

This tale of young romance revolves around the tumultuous occurrences, as they come to discover the existence of ghosts, monsters, and aliens. Dandadan is currently on its ninth arc, comprising of 163 chapters.
4th Century

Gokurakugai
Gokurakugai is a district that may appear glimmering on the surface, but harbors dark secrets and lacks order. Tao and Alma are two troubleshooters for hire who earn a living by taking on various tasks, such as locating missing individuals or handling mutilated animal remains.

Once this truth was discovered by the Flower Funeral Force, the situation took a turn for the worse. This ongoing manga, Wild Strawberry, is released biweekly and currently has 28 chapters.
