As 2025 nears its end, manga fans have crowned a new favorite series, one that’s proven more popular than established hits like One Piece and Chainsaw Man. This comes from Shueisha’s Manga Plus Highlights of the Year, which tracks the platform’s most popular content. While the event covers several categories, fans are most interested in the ‘Most Read Chapter’ list. This year’s list, based on chapters released between January 1st and November 30th, reveals a surprising winner: a brand-new series that outperformed both Chainsaw Man and One Piece in terms of readership.
The sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, immediately became the most popular new manga of 2025 with its first chapter. It was followed closely by Chapter 198 of Chainsaw Man and Chapter 1161 of One Piece. Fans were excited for the continuation after feeling the original series ended too soon, and the debut of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo quickly became the most-read chapter on the Manga Plus platform.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo’s Debut Beats One Piece and Chainsaw Man’s Best Chapters of the Year
I was really surprised to see a new manga, Modulo, take the top spot for most-read chapters. Usually, series like One Piece and Chainsaw Man consistently dominate that list. Both of those had strong years – Chainsaw Man was wrapping up a major story arc, and One Piece was diving into some exciting new territory with the Elbaph arc and a really interesting flashback. But Modulo just created a level of excitement that neither of them could match. It’s clear that the hype surrounding the Jujutsu Kaisen sequel is what propelled it to this achievement.
Fans were largely unhappy with how the original Jujutsu Kaisen series ended. The story felt unfinished, with a lot of potential left unexplored, and many were eager to see the established world and characters developed further. The announcement of a sequel, Modulo, gave fans renewed hope for a continuation of the story and a chance to experience more of what they loved.
The excitement surrounding the new manga was boosted by the confirmation of a romantic relationship between Maki and Yuta, and the focus on their future family. This helped establish the sequel as a way for fans to delve deeper into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. While initial hype contributed to its success, the strong writing by Gege Akutami – enhanced by the incredible artwork of Yuji Iwasaki – truly made the manga stand out. Though people have different opinions about why Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo was named the best manga of 2025, the evidence suggests it was a well-deserved win, solidifying Jujutsu Kaisen‘s place as a major force in manga and anime.
