The highly acclaimed manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen” has officially come to an end, and its creator, Gege Akutami, has broken his silence on the series’ conclusion. In a heartfelt message to fans, Akutami expressed gratitude for their support and hinted at future projects.
The End of an Era
Akutami shared in his author’s note accompanying the final chapter,
“We’ve reached the end”, “Thank you all for your support!! I’ll keep doing my best with my future works.”
This statement marks the official conclusion of “Jujutsu Kaisen”, a series that has captivated readers since its debut in 2018. Over its six-year run, the manga has achieved remarkable success, recently reaching the milestone of 100 million copies in circulation.
A Well-Deserved Break
With the manga’s conclusion, Akutami is taking a well-deserved break. The intense schedule of weekly manga publication can take a toll on creators, and Akutami’s decision to step back is understandable. This break will likely allow him to recharge creatively and prepare for his next project.
Looking to the Future
While fans may be disappointed by the end of “Jujutsu Kaisen”, Akutami’s message offers hope for the future. His commitment to “doing my best with my future works” suggests that he’s far from done with manga creation.
There has been speculation about potential sequels or spin-offs, but as of now, there are no official plans for a “Jujutsu Kaisen Part 2”. Akutami seems to be focusing on new projects rather than continuing the “Jujutsu Kaisen” story.
A Lasting Legacy
“Jujutsu Kaisen” leaves behind a significant legacy in the world of manga and anime. Its compelling storyline, complex characters, and unique take on supernatural battles have earned it a place among the best-selling manga of all time.
The series’ impact extends beyond print, with a successful anime adaptation, a prequel film, and various other media adaptations in the works. An official guidebook was release on October 4, 2024, and a stage play adaptation of “Jujutsu Kaisen 0”.
