Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Is Once Again a Victim of the Worst Social Media Trend

by

Following the massive success of “Jujutsu Kaisen“, its creator Gege Akutami is back with a brand new series called “Mojuro”. This will mark his first series after the divisive conclusion of his popular shonen manga, causing quite a stir among fans due to unanswered questions. Yet, despite initial disappointment, the series’ appeal remained strong, and fans can’t wait for the upcoming Season 3 of the anime. Unfortunately, we won’t see Season 3 anytime soon, but “Mojuro” is set to debut on September 8, 2025. The publication of Akutami’s latest work will be handled by “Weekly Shonen Jump”. Akutami himself is in charge of the storyline, while Yuuji Iwasaki, renowned for his work on Cipher Academy, will handle the illustrations.

The exact number of chapters hasn’t been disclosed as of yet, but given that it’s a short series, it’s likely to run for several weeks or months. Akutami experienced a significant decline in health during the serialization of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” and this continued post-manga. The author’s return with a new project just a year after the conclusion of his hit series is indeed exciting news, causing much anticipation among fans. Regrettably, even Akutami’s latest work has fallen into the hands of leakers, and early glimpses of the upcoming series have already started appearing on social media platforms.

Mojuro’s First Look Was Predictably Leaked by Jujutsu Kaisen Fan Accounts

Fans with access to early releases of the manga “Jujutsu Kaisen” often share these on their social media platforms, which then spreads to a wider audience. Originally, these leaks occurred within private servers, but now they’re more commonly found on public accounts that use hashtags. Unfortunately, this means that even those who wish to avoid spoilers might accidentally come across them.

Essentially, very little is known about Mojuro as of now, but millions have already caught a glimpse of the alleged main character through an early cover page release. This sneak peek was posted at least a week before the official manga launch, making it unnecessarily surprising without any prior notice. The leak culture surrounding Akutami’s work Jujutsu Kaisen caused significant controversy due to spoilers ruining key plot twists, and it appears that the leakers are continuing their streak by targeting his latest projects as well.

Jujutsu Kaisen Leaks Were the Worst Thing That Happened to the Manga

The anime series Jujutsu Kaisen gained significant popularity following its debut, prompting numerous fans to switch over to the comic version. When Satoru Gojo’s return marked the beginning of the final arc, a massive number of people were not just reading the manga but also keeping up with leaks on social media. Social media posts of manga panels often appeared at least three to four days prior to the official release. These accounts also included unofficial translators who quickly disseminated the story, making it convenient for many readers to skip re-reading from the official source, as these translations essentially provided all necessary information from a chapter.

Prior to stating this, let me clarify that these weekly releases amassed millions of views, frequently with people propagating them without spoiler alerts or distinctive tags. People found themselves steering clear of social media due to concerns about stumbling upon spoilers unexpectedly in their timeline. The battle between Gojo and Sukuna, in particular, gained such notoriety that those who hadn’t even read Jujutsu Kaisen were aware of the entire manga’s progression. Gojo’s supposed demise, a plot twist that should have been kept under wraps, sparked global controversy and most people found out about it well before the official release date.

Leaks about popular manga series like Jujutsu Kaisen might have sparked more discussions than typical, yet they’ve caused more harm than benefit. The culture of leaks is generally considered negative, and many have expressed their desire for it to cease. However, the increasing fame of the manga world suggests that this may persist. Although the endings of series such as Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Oshi no Ko, and others have led to a significant decrease in leak culture, it hasn’t entirely vanished. For instance, One Piece continues to disseminate information about upcoming chapters, although its influence isn’t as widespread compared to Jujutsu Kaisen. To avoid leaks, one might need to limit their social media engagement, as even turning off hashtags doesn’t always prevent exposure.
