Alright, Jujutsu Kaisen fans, brace yourselves. The end is near. The incredibly popular shonen manga by Gege Akutami is officially wrapping up with just five chapters remaining. Yep, you read that right—five more chapters and it’s all over. Mark your calendars because the final chapter, Chapter 271, is dropping on September 30, 2024.
Now, if you’ve been following the series, you know how much of a big deal this is. The official Jujutsu Kaisen Twitter (or X, whatever you wanna call it) account made the announcement on August 19, sending the fandom into a mix of excitement and sadness. According to a machine translation of their post:
“Jujutsu Kaisen will reach its final chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 44, which will be released on Monday, September 30. Thank you for your support until the final Chapter 271!”
It’s clear the series has made a massive impact, and Akutami-sensei himself chimed in on the announcement, saying:
“The story will conclude in 5 chapters. Being able to wrap up the story in the way I envisioned is all thanks to the support and cooperation of the readers. Thank you so much!! To everyone who has supported Jujutsu Kaisen, I am doing my best to make the final chapter something that will satisfy as many people as possible (I think). So everyone, please stay calm until the end!!”
Talk about a heartfelt message, right? It’s always something special when a creator can finish a story the way they intended, and Akutami seems determined to give fans a satisfying ending. Whether you’ve been there since the first chapter dropped on March 5, 2018, or hopped on the bandwagon later, this news hits hard.
For those who somehow missed it, Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t just another manga—it’s a phenomenon. With 90 million copies in circulation, it’s safe to say this series is one of the heavyweights in the manga world. And don’t even get me started on the anime adaptation. It’s not just popular; it’s record-breaking. Guinness World Records named it the world’s most popular anime series, and it’s racked up accolades left and right.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of another major shonen manga’s conclusion—My Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kohei, which also wrapped up earlier this month. It seems like we’re witnessing the end of an era for shonen fans.
So, what’s next? Well, we’ve got a few more weeks to enjoy the ride, but soon enough, we’ll be saying goodbye to Jujutsu Kaisen. It’s been a wild journey, and as we gear up for the final chapter, let’s keep calm and savor every last moment of this incredible story.
