Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Breaks Silence on the Series' Ending

As a seasoned gamer who’s seen my fair share of manga series come and go, I can confidently say that Jujutsu Kaisen has left an indelible mark on the world of anime and manga. Gege Akutami’s masterpiece has been a rollercoaster ride since its inception in 2018, and it’s hard to believe that it’s finally come to an end with chapter 271.


Following an extraordinary journey, the popular manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen” has reached its conclusion. Back in 2018, mangaka Gege Akutami started weaving the intricate plot of this successful series, and it was hard to predict how massive it would become. Now, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is among Shueisha’s best-selling titles, but after six years, its storyline has come to an end. This week, the final chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen” was released, and at last, Akutami has shared some insights about the grand finale he crafted.

Shueisha, the publisher, has shared a message from Jujutsu Kaisen creator Akutami. In this author’s note about chapter 271, Akutami asks fans for their continued support as he continues to produce new works in the future.

Akutami expressed, “We’ve arrived at our destination.” He thanked everyone sincerely for their support and assured them that he would continue to strive his hardest in all his upcoming projects.

The End of Jujutsu Kaisen

Clearly visible above, Akutami has combined a fresh sketch with a depiction of Yuji Itadori. This vibrant artwork breathes life into our protagonist, and it’s heartening to see him wearing a smile. Despite the marks that mar his visage, Yuji stands out as one of the most hopeful characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, which speaks volumes. Our hero has traversed the depths of hell and returned more than once within Jujutsu Kaisen, yet he’s managed to preserve his spirit throughout.

Absolutely, after all the effort put in by Yuji throughout the series, it’s satisfying to see that Jujutsu Kaisen has come full circle and acknowledged his hard work. The manga wrapped up this week with chapter 271, providing Yuji a chance for some one-on-one time with his friends, including Megumi and Nobara. This brought Team Gojo back together, even after their leader’s demise. The reunion felt organic as readers watched Yuji take on the mission alongside his friends. From start to finish, the whole storyline had a lighthearted tone, and in the end, Jujutsu Kaisen offered Yuji a well-deserved break.

In this recent artwork, Akutami doesn’t forget to express gratitude towards fans for contributing to Jujutsu Kaisen‘s achievement of surpassing 100 million copies sold, placing it among the top-selling manga series ever produced. It’s evident that Jujutsu Kaisen has come a long way since its initial beginnings, and Akutami is only just getting started on this exciting journey.

What Should Gege Akutami Do Next?

Gege, the manga artist, picked up “Jujutsu Kaisen” fairly swiftly during his career. He started working professionally in 2014, posting a oneshot under Shueisha. After that, he published two more oneshots, and it was from these that he developed the idea for “Jujutsu Kaisen”. This draft was posted in 2017 under “Jump Giga”, and only later did “Jujutsu Kaisen” become the official title of the story. The series launched in 2018, and it didn’t take long for “Jujutsu Kaisen” to gain popularity.

Over the course of six years, the manga Jujutsu Kaisen has become a significant staple within the manga community. Despite his relatively short career, author Akutami handled the unexpected fame effortlessly. Recently, it appears that Akutami is excited to embark on fresh endeavors. In his latest message to fans, he requests their continued support as he delves into new projects. At present, no details have been disclosed regarding Akutami’s upcoming series. With Jujutsu Kaisen now completed, it’s likely that the artist will take some time off. However, retirement is far from Akutami’s mind. When he returns with new work, it will be up to fans to show their appreciation for him once more.
