Akutami expressed deep gratitude to the fans, acknowledging that their unwavering support was the driving force behind the development and conclusion of the story.
His message added an emotional layer to the already emotional news, as fans prepare to await the final chapters of a series that has become a cultural phenomenon.
The Journey from Series to Worldwide Success
Jujutsu Kaisen first debuted in March 2018, when it began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
Since its debut, the series has steadily increased in popularity and eventually became one of the most talked about and loved manga series in the industry.
This story, which combines elements of dark fantasy, horror, and action, quickly gained a large following, both in Japan and internationally.
As of August 2024, Jujutsu Kaisen has been compiled into 27 volumes, with over 90 million copies released worldwide.
This staggering figure is a testament to the series' widespread appeal and its impact on readers across the globe.
The success of the manga also led to an equally popular anime adaptation, which expanded its reach and cemented the series' place in the modern manga canon.
Countdown to the final chapter begins
The announcement of Jujutsu Kaisen's upcoming ending was made through a special Jump Press video released on Shonen Jump's official YouTube channel.
This video not only provides news about Jujutsu Kaisen but also updates on other popular series, including the return of Hunter X Hunter and the upcoming anime Witch Watch.
However, attention is certainly on Jujutsu Kaisen, as fans eagerly tune in to learn more about the fates of their favorite characters.
According to the announcement, the series will end at Chapter 271, which will be published in the 44th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on September 30, 2024.
The revelation that there are only five chapters left has sparked a wave of speculation and discussion within the fan community.
Many are wondering how Akutami plans to conclude the complex and multi-layered plot that has been meticulously built over the past six years.
Gege Akutami's Message to Fans
In addition to this announcement, Jump Press also shared a personal message from Gege Akutami, the man behind Jujutsu Kaisen.
In his statement, Akutami confirmed that the series would end after five chapters and took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the readers.
He admitted that the support and cooperation of fans played a vital role in helping him finish the story according to his vision.
Akutami also mentioned the immense pressure he felt while working on the final chapter.
He is keenly aware of the high expectations fans have for the series' ending and is working to create an ending that will satisfy as many readers as possible.
Despite the challenges, Akutami remains committed to delivering an ending that fans will remember and cherish for years to come.
In his message, he humbly asked fans to continue supporting him as he brings Jujutsu Kaisen to an end.
What to expect in the final chapters
As the countdown to the final chapter begins, fans are eagerly speculating how the final five chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen will unfold.
The series is slowly coming to the end of the war between Jujutsu magicians and the formidable Curse King, Ryomen Sukuna.
With Yuji Itadori, the story's protagonist, leading the group of witches, many fans are expecting an intense and tense battle that will push the characters to their limits.
However, the final chapters can hardly focus solely on the confrontation between Itadori and Sukuna.
The series carefully laid the groundwork for many story lines and character developments, all of which needed to be resolved before the end.
One of those storylines is the fight between Kinji Hakari and Uraume, which was introduced in recent chapters.
Given the importance of this battle, it's likely that at least one of the remaining chapters will deal with the outcome of this conflict.
