Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular anime and manga series of recent times, which is why even after more than a year has passed since the main story’s ending, fans are always treated to new projects. Gege Akutami’s manga began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018 and gained massive popularity after the anime’s debut in 2020. 2023 was by far the most promising year for the series, with the release of the anime’s second season and Gojo’s return in the manga when the battle of the strongest commences. The manga’s ending was considered rushed by many, but that didn’t affect its popularity at all.
