Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami. It began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 2018 and quickly gained widespread popularity. The series is set in a world where curses—malevolent supernatural entities born from negative human emotions—exist, and sorcerers, known as "Jujutsu Sorcerers," use special techniques to combat them.
Plot Overview:
The story follows Yuji Itadori, an unusually strong high school student with a normal life. However, his world is turned upside down when he comes into contact with a cursed object—one of the fingers of Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful curse known as the "King of Curses." In an attempt to save his friends, Yuji swallows the cursed finger, which binds him to Sukuna's deadly power.
Yuji is then taken to Tokyo Jujutsu High, a school for Jujutsu Sorcerers, where he begins his training under the guidance of the most powerful sorcerer, Satoru Gojo. Alongside his fellow students, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, Yuji embarks on a dangerous journey to collect all of Sukuna's remaining fingers to prevent the curse from regaining its full strength.
