Continue readingJujutsu Kaisen
A manga about a boy who is inflicted by a powerful curse and learns to controls it in hopes of one day completely summoning it to destroy it.
This series baffles me.
Not because the premise is tried and true shonen battle manga or because Gege Akutami’s art style is so distinct.
It’s because this series is popular.
I personally don’t find anything special about this series. It feels very much in the vein of Bleach. Yet somehow it’s still ongoing and continuing in Weekly Shonen Jump.
Available through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus.
