Ranking at the top of the list of the most-watched, appreciated, and trending anime, Jujutsu Kaisen clearly has the world at its feet. An occult anime suffused with heady action, it entered the Manga markets in March 2018 via Gege Akutami. The Anime version started in October 2020 and has earned the fame of one of the best-selling series of all time.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a shonen anime revolving around the life of a high school student, Yuji Itadori. Yuji, a fit yet lazy teenager joins the Occult Club to be able to see his terminally ill grandfather. However, the young boy gets involved in situations that transform his languid lifestyle. Jujutsu Kaisen delineates the quest of Yuji in the world of Cursed energies.
The storyline that sounds horrific certainly takes you to the World of Curses but with specks of humor. It’ll bring out the charge in you as well as balance it when overcharged. Thus, giving no reason to not read and watch it too. Cause why not experience the thrill twice!
