Jujutsu Kaisen Might be on Break for Another Week!

Since the release of chapter 262 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga two weeks ago, fans have been eagerly waiting for the next release. With the chapter, it was announced that the manga would be going on a two-week break. 

This means that the manga would resume in Weekly Shonen Jump’s Issue #31.

However, the manga is not listed in the preview for the upcoming issue, raising questions in fans’ minds. 

Many believe that this is because the manga is going to take an extra week’s break. 

It is important to realize that no official statement has been made so far. 

About Jujutsu Kaisen:

Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami.

It has been serialized in Shueisha’s shōnen manga magazine, Weekly Shōnen Jump, since March 2018, with its chapters collected and published in 26 tankōbon volumes as of April 2024.

Studio MAPPA brought the world of JJK into anime by airing 24 episodes of season 1 from October 2020 to March 2021 and a second season that premiered in July 2023. A sequel covering the “Culling Game” arc has been announced.

Crunchyroll describes the overall plot of Jujutsu Kaisen as:

Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life.

One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul.

From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna.

Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses… and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcise a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
