The series has been a big hit in the world of manga, with fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of an anime adaptation and for the past few months, more and more information has been released with regards to the upcoming television series.

For those unfamiliar with Jujutsu Kaisen, the official description for the series reads as such:

"Just where do "Curses," the fiendish spirits invisible to normal humans, come from? What is Sukuna Ryoumen, whose very existence grips the "Jujutsu" world in fear? And who exactly is Yuuji Itadori, the boy who recently became the center of attention in Jujutsu society? No need to fear, for Satoru Gojou, the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer, has the answers! From the new sorcerers in training to the enemies they face, Gojou provides all you need to know about Jujutsu and the inner workings of the institution who protect us from Curses: the Tokyo Jujutsu High School."
