As a long-time manga enthusiast who’s seen the evolution of Shonen Jump over the years, I must admit that saying goodbye to Jujutsu Kaisen feels like bidding adieu to an old friend. Gege Akutami’s masterpiece has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions and action-packed excitement that has kept me on the edge of my seat for six long years.
After six years, the popular manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen,” written by Gege Akutami, has concluded its run in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The manga made its debut in the magazine back in 2018 and quickly rose to become one of the top action franchises within its pages. With its ending, “Jujutsu Kaisen” has left a significant impact on the magazine, as most of the remaining series are still relatively new. This leaves an intriguing outlook for the future, as we eagerly await to see what will emerge as the next major success in the magazine.
In its final chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen concluded, prompting heartfelt farewell messages from various manga creators to appear in Shonen Jump. Among these were a parting note from Gege Akutami, the author himself, as well as tributes from creators like Takeru Hokazono (Kagurabachi), Kouji Miura (Blue Box), and Yuto Suzuki (Sakamoto Days). These messages highlight the significant influence Jujutsu Kaisen had on both fans and other manga artists, and you can read them below in translations provided by Viz Media.

What’s Next for Shonen Jump?
As a gamer, I find myself yearning for a fresh Shonen Jump series that could potentially fill the void left by the conclusion of “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “My Hero Academia”. The bar has been set high by these action-packed franchises, but it’s still early days for most of the newcomers. Many of these series have been running for just three years or less, and some are just starting their anime adaptations to elevate them even further. Since “Jujutsu Kaisen” concluded without any hint of a continuation, the stage is clear for other series in the magazine to claim the top spot.
