After six years, Jujutsu Kaisen will end in September

The popular manga "Jujutsu Kaisen", created by Gege Akutami, is nearing its conclusion after a successful serialization of more than six years. As officially revealed in a recent broadcast, the series will end in five more chapters, concluding with Chapter 271 next Monday, September 30, 2024 (although it will be leaked earlier). This announcement marks the end of one of the most influential works of the last decade in the world of manga.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" began serialization in March 2018 and quickly became a phenomenon, attracting millions of fans around the world. With its imminent finale, the series follows in the footsteps of "My Hero Academia," which also concluded this month, closing a significant chapter for Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, which has seen how both series defined a generation.

Both works have reached a staggering 100 million copies sold, cementing themselves as some of the most successful manga of all time. In fact, "Jujutsu Kaisen" has been one of the most popular titles in Shonen Jump for several years, surpassing even "One Piece" in average sales according to Oricon data released in May of this year, with a sales ratio of 2 to 1.

The impact of "Jujutsu Kaisen" has transcended the pages of manga, inspiring video games, a wide range of products, and being recognized as the most 'in-demand' television series of any medium in 2023. The series has left an indelible mark on popular culture, and its end will mark the end of an era for many of its fans.

For those who follow the story through anime, you can look forward to the sequel to the second season of "Jujutsu Kaisen," which was announced late last year. Meanwhile, manga fans are preparing to say goodbye to a series that has captured the imagination of readers around the world and will undoubtedly leave Weekly Shonen Jump in trouble.
