News culture Jujutsu Kaisen: A new project after the end of the manga? His editor teases “there’s more to come”

The end of an era

Terrible news for Jujutsu Kaisen fans: Gege Akutami’s manga ends with the upcoming release of chapter 271. Information was confirmed by the author himself more than a month ago.

Jujutsu Kaisen has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shônen Jump since 2018 and is part of the new generation of shônens alongside Black Clover, Chainsaw Man, Kaiju N°8 and Dandadan. An instant hit, it also benefited from major limelight with the anime adaptation by MAPPA in 2020.

But if the anime is still relevant, readers will soon have to say goodbye to the manga. At least if the release of chapter 271 actually marks the end of the manga.

A sequel coming?

For many readers, the announcement of the end of Jujutsu Kaisen seemed premature. For good reason, Gege Akutami left many points partially mentioned in the manga unresolved. But ultimately, the author may not have said his last word.

Therefore, Shueisha has announced a “happy announcement” that will accompany the release of chapter 271. The manga publisher specifies that “there is more to come.” In fact, fans are beginning to wonder. What if the release of chapter 271 only meant the end of part 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen? Several fans have mentioned this possibility, although we will have to wait for more information from Shueisha or the author before confirming it. Less risky, on the other hand, would be to talk about the continuation of the anime, which could take the form of an animated film like Jujutsu Kaisen 0, for example. Reaction in the coming days.
