Jujutsu Kaisen’s creator stated earlier in 2023 that “it would be nice to bring the story to a close this year”. With the manga throwing out some major events in recent chapters, including some long-awaited battles, the mangaka, and his editor, are assuring fans that there is plenty more to come.
Gege Akutami on Jujutsu Kaisen’s Finale
Here’s what the creator of Jujutsu Tech had to say when it came to working on the series as well as prepping for its finale, “I can’t speak English but only Japanese and I’ve never even traveled outside of Japan.

I’ll do my best to meet fans’ expectations all over the world as I wrap up the Jujutsu Kaisen story and as I also work on future manga as well.”
Gege’s Editor then clarified the statement, “The manga isn’t going to end anytime soon but it’s in its wrapping-up phase.”
