Jujutsu Kaisen Manga
Jujutsu Kaisen (jjk) is a Japanese manga series written and designed by Gege Akutami. Its initial chapter was published in March 2018 in Weekly Shonen Jump and gained a lot of readership support. This series acquaints us with supernatural items and monsters developed from human negative feelings. For the purpose of exorcising and eradicating such evil beings from the earth, jujutsu sorcerers perform their tasks. Jujutsu sorcerers are very talented cursed technique practitioners whose primary goal is to drive out cursed spirits and monsters from the world.
Storyline and Plot:
This manga is about Yuji Itadori, the protagonist. He is a high school student with incredibly powerful physical strength. His life totally turns around when he encounters Megumi Fushiguro and ingests one of Sukuna’s fingers. After ingesting the finger, Sukuna starts living within him. Gojo Satoru tells Yuji that the finger of Sukuna is a big danger to humans, and if he eats all the twenty fingers, Sukuna will reincarnate in his body. To keep this danger at bay, Yuji will have to die sooner or later. Yuji consents to Gojo-sensei and sets out to be a jujutsu sorcerer.
