Jan 22, 2020Jujutsu Kaisen is a fantastic series that takes bold steps to stand out from its contemporaries and succeeds to do so in droves. The manga impressively combines engaging action with chilling horror, all while providing ample narrative substance to support those qualities. If you have yet to check out the series, now is the perfect time to jump in. Read Full Review

Oct 26, 2020Jujutsu Kaisen is another entry in the genre of demon manga, and one volume is not nearly enough to judge whether it is a worthy entry. The world building at the beginning of this volume is pretty choppy, and we get these little snippets of disparate stories between Itadori at school and him visiting his dying grandfather in a hospital. It seems pretty tidy that Itadori is able to pick up and move across the country to attend Jujutsu Academy without saying goodbye to his friends or anything. However, if the build of storyline from volume two forward becomes a little more steady and developed, this has the potential to be an interesting series in a crowded field of demon stories. Akutami's illustrations have plenty of creepy demons, but the character designs are very basic with all Jujutsu sorcerers in the same black, full-body zip-up. Read Full Review

Horror DNA - James Ferguson
Nov 30, 2020Jujutsu Kaisen plants a strong foundation with this first volume. We're introduced to Yuji and this world of demons he's found himself in. There is plenty of runway for him to grow as a character and explore this new frightening path. All the while, he's learning what it takes to do good. That can be quite a mountain to climb, but it's clear he's willing to take the challenge. He's already taken the first step...err...gulp. Read Full Review
