Jujutsu Kaisen Calls for Leaks to Stop

The topic of leaks has always been the talk of the town. While some see no problem finding out before the upcoming events of their favorite manga, others point out that this completely ruins the surprise that the author had prepared for his work. After all, it doesn't leak the entire chapter, but only the most relevant moment of it that, in effect, reduces the impact that the author hoped to deliver.

There are many ways to avoid this type of content by the author and viewers. In the case of the author, the fastest option is that of Tatsuki Fujimoto with "Chainsaw Man", that is, moving the manga completely to the digital medium. Because there's no way for something digital to "print before," then there's no way to filter content before its scheduled release date.

On the other hand, fans can avoid leaks by simply not interacting with them. At the end of the day, what leakers want is a social media presence, interactions, likes, and reposts. If they notice that they don't achieve this despite offering content of this nature, they will stop doing so eventually.

Now, recently there have been arrests of members of popular leaker circles in Japan, who were getting editions of magazines from different manga publishers that were sent in advance to stores in Japan. To understand this, let's say the next issue of a magazine comes out on Monday, March 11, 2024. So publishers already have printed editions from today to send them by mail to the farthest bookstores in Japan and have the launch done on the same day everywhere. This is how leakers manage to filter content, getting some of these printed editions.

Anyway, there is a lot of fabric to cut from on the subject of leaks, but the official Twitter account of "Jujutsu Kaisen", one of the most important works today and also one of the most affected by this, surprised with a publication where he asked that the leaks of the manga be stopped:

• "We will announce more information about the exhibition in issue 15 of Weekly Shonen Jump, on sale Monday, March 11. Please check it out! We ask for your cooperation to prevent the dissemination of illegally uploaded information as 'leaks' before the release date."

It's not the first time an official account has called for leaks to stop, but it's certainly a little-seen event. In fact, the last franchise that had openly called for this was "Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan)" a few years ago during its home stretch. At the end of the day, despite the arrests against members of the group "@Go_Jover", the account is still active and will reveal the leaks of the next chapter of "Jujutsu Kaisen" tonight, what can be done then?
