Based on Gege Akutami's manga of the same name, Jujutsu Kaisen, tells the story of a physically gifted student named Yuji Itadori. While everyone wants him to be apart of every sport, he simply wants to hang out with the kids who are apart of the Occult Research Club. All seems fine until these kids get ahold of a sealed, cursed, object. Horrors are unleased the moment the seal is broken. The manga originally premiered in 2018, within the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and fans can't get enough.
In recent news, an announcement came that the manga series would be getting its own anime series! The seires is being developed over at MAPPA nad directed by Sunghoo Park (The God Of High School). The series would also be written by Vinland Saga's Hiroshi Seko.
