'Jujutsu Kaisen' Manga Ends This September, Gege Akutami Writes...

The official X account, formerly known as Twitter, of Jujutsu Kaisen just recently dropped a bombshell of a post, stating that in just a few more chapters, the extremely popular manga series will end this September.

The tweet reads that only 5 more chapters are left until the completion of Jujutsu Kaisen. The final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen will be reached in the 44th issue of the Shonen Weekly Jump, which will be released on September 30th, 2024. The series will officially end at chapter 271.

Gege Akutami himself made a comment on the ending of the series that will be coming soon, stating "The story will end in 5 chapters. I only got to tell the story I wanted thanks to the help and support of all my readers. Thank youuu!! I am hard at work on creating a finale that will (probably) satisfy as many people as possible who have supported Jujutsu Kaisen. So, everyone, please go easy on me!!"

The notorious author has a reputation for killing off many beloved characters, especially some of the latest chapters of the manga, so anxiety amongst readers seems to be quite high.

For those who'd like to catch up on the Jujutsu Kaisen story through the anime, the first two seasons are currently available on Crunchyroll which describes it as follows, "Follow young Yuji Itadori in this dark supernatural action series as he begins training in the dangerous arts of jujutsu sorcery and explores the violent world of curses! Yuji Itadori eats a cursed finger to save a classmate, and now Ryomen Sukuna, a powerfully evil sorcerer known as the King of Curses, lives in Itadori's soul. Curses are supernatural terrors created from negative human emotions. This cursed energy can be used as a power source by jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits alike. Guided by the jujutsu sorcerers, Yuji Itadori joins Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses. Mentored by his teacher Satoru Gojo, Itadori befriends Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, both first-year students. Season 2 rewinds the clock as students Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto are tasked with protecting the Star Plasma Vessel. In October 2018, a Veil falls on Shibuya. Gojo enters with Itadori and other jujutsu sorcerers outside, unaware of Geto's trap."
