How to read Jujutsu Kaisen in English: where to start

What Jujutsu Kaisen is about

Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga by Gege Akutami. It started in Japan in 2018. The genres are action, drama and supernatural. Its themes are urban fantasy, demons, super power and curses.

In this world dark human emotions take shape as curses. Jujutsu sorcerers fight those curses in secret. Yuji Itadori is the strongest kid at his high school by a wide margin. Then a cursed object is unsealed at the school. Curses swarm the building. Yuji swallows the object to get the power to fight back. It is a mummified finger of Ryomen Sukuna. Sukuna is the King of Curses.

Now Sukuna shares Yuji's body. The rules say Yuji must be executed. A teacher named Satoru Gojo talks the higher-ups into a delay. The new plan is strange. Yuji will hunt down and swallow all twenty fingers first. After that his execution will wipe out Sukuna for good. Until that day Yuji trains at a school for sorcerers in Tokyo.

This is a modern battle manga. It has a detailed power system and a horror edge. Fights get bloody. Many curses look grotesque. Readers who want that mix will feel at home here.
