Where To Start The Jujutsu Kaisen Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Jujutsu Kaisen anime and want to continue the story with the manga after the anime, you can start at:
- If you finished Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 – Start at Chapter 64
- If you finished Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 – Start at Chapter 138.
The Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 adapts four of the eight total chapters of Volume 16.
The second season of the anime’s final episode adapted a few pages from both Chapter 138 and 139, so you will see a small bit of crossover when transitioning to the manga.
The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie is a canon prequel. However, it is adapting the short, single volume Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manga series, not anything from the main manga series. Do note that the movie actually did expand further on some events than the manga does.
What to Expect From The Jujutsu Kaisen Manga?
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga doesn’t differ much from the anime as a whole. The anime does tend to skip some smaller moments that don’t have a significant bearing on the plot or character development. So you miss a bit of silliness, but overall, Jujutsu Kaisen has been a great adaptation of the manga.
You don’t need to read the Jujutsu Kaisen manga from the beginning unless you want to.
Is The Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Over?
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is complete. It ended in 2024 with Chapter 271.
Will There Be A Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3?
Prior to the final episode of the second season, it was announced that Jujutsu Kaisen would receive a third season, titled Jujutsu Kaisen – Culling Game.
There has, however, been no additional information as to when this season will air. Jujutsu Kaisen is a wildly popular series, but Season 2 was rife with production issues. This could mean either a 2024 release date, but probably no later than 2025 – especially given the near-end state of the manga.
