Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Reveals Reason for Manga’s Hiatus After Conclusion

by

As a dedicated follower of Jujutsu Kaisen since its debut in 2018, I can wholeheartedly appreciate the dedication and resilience shown by Gege Akutami. The news of his hospitalization for an appendix removal surgery was certainly a blow to us fans, but seeing him power through to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion was nothing short of inspiring.

Gege Akutami has unveiled the cause behind the three-week pause in the publication of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga earlier this year, which had fans speculating when the widely loved series would return as it approached its ending. As it turns out, the break was necessitated by Akutami undergoing an appendix removal surgery in June 2024, a fact revealed in the 28th volume of the manga.

Even amidst my personal health challenges, I’ve remained steadfast in completing the Jujutsu Kaisen series – a journey that concluded just last month to widespread acclaim. The narrative unfolded with Yuji Itadori and his fellow battle survivors, culminating in a climax against the formidable villain Sukuna. Many fans were delighted by the ending they felt was fitting for our beloved characters. My unwavering dedication to this story, even post-surgery, has resonated deeply with readers who have been following my manga since its inception back in 2018.

Following its debut in Shonen Jump, Jujutsu Kaisen swiftly gained widespread acclaim, achieving tremendous success as both a manga and an animated series. The studio behind the anime adaptation, Studio MAPPA, launched it in 2020, and it soon captivated audiences worldwide. Last year saw the broadcast of the anime’s second season, which delved into the Shibuya Incident Arc – an exhilarating and action-packed storyline that pitted key characters against their destiny. With high anticipation, fans are looking forward to the upcoming third season, which promises to center around the Culling Game arc.

As a dedicated follower, I’m eagerly waiting for the next season, but unfortunately, no release date has been confirmed yet. With Studio MAPPA juggling numerous projects like Chainsaw Man and Hell’s Paradise, it seems that the return of Jujutsu Kaisen might be delayed until 2025. Given their busy workload, it looks like we’ll have to exercise patience a bit more to watch Yuji and his companions on screen again.

Regarding Akutami’s plans, there’s no concrete information about a sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen. However, in their farewell message to fans, they hinted at potential future projects. This suggests that there could be more stories set within the Jujutsu Kaisen universe or perhaps new worlds entirely. The future is uncertain but exciting!

Eventually, we’ll provide additional information here as it becomes available. So, stay tuned to TopMob for further updates on this topic.
