Jujutsu Kaisen is based on the manga by Gege Akutami, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018 after a four-chapter predecessor known as Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and concluded in 2024. Viz Media summarizes the manga as follows:
While Yuji Itadori seems like your typical teenager, his enormous physical prowess is remarkable! Every sports club is eager to have him on board, but Itadori prefers spending time with the school outcasts in the Occult Research Club. One day, the club comes across a sealed cursed object. Little do they realize the horror they’ll unleash upon breaking the seal…
The first season of the anime aired from late 2020 to early 2021, featuring 24 episodes, and was succeeded by the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in December 2021. Season 2 aired from July to December 2023, with the latter “Shibuya Incident Arc” commencing shortly after the initial “Hidden Inventory Arc.”
The first season of the anime and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 were directed by Sunghoo Park (God of High School, Ninja Kamui), with Shota Goshozono (Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 17, Ranking of Kings Episode 21, and Chainsaw Man Episode 8 storyboard artist and episode director) taking over afterwards.
