I keep track of even the minutest details of my favorite series. Speaking about 'Jujutsu Kaisen', aka 'JJK' – it definitely ranks high on my list of must-watch anime. The underlying themes of dark fantasy, supernatural horror, and the vibrant character designs, make it a treat for the eyes. But let me not deviate and jump straight to your query.
As per the anime adaptation, which kicked off in October 2020, the heart-racing and shonen action wrapped up in March 2021. Season 1 of 'Jujutsu Kaisen' culminated at chapter 64, which is right in the middle of the 'Shibuya Incident Arc' of the original manga.
Now let me drop a quick reminder for those who might fall into the 'anime-only' category. If you're craving for more 'Jujutsu Kaisen' post the ending of season one, you should definitely consider reading the manga. You can pick up from chapter 65 to start with the manga where the anime left off and trust me, the plot only thickens from there! The intricacies of storytelling and engaging character arcs promised in the rest of the 'Shibuya Incident Arc' are worth digging into.
But if you're not that into reading, don't worry! The creators have got you covered with a prequel movie titled 'Jujutsu Kaisen 0', which is all set to roll out soon. Although it won't be a direct continuation of the anime series, it will surely satisfy your 'JJK' cravings until Season 2 arrives.
Lastly, here's my personal take – while the anime has done a fantastic job of adopting the original manga, reading the manga brings a fresh perspective, and a deeper understanding of the story and characters. So, get set for an exhilarating ride with your favorite jujutsu sorcerers and see you around!
