That’s a lot of Jujutsu Kaisen. The popular Shonen Jump manga, which just ended its six-year run, now has over 100 million copies in circulation. Impressive.
The manga by Gege Akutami kicked off in the pages of Shonen Jump on March 5, 2018 and soon gained a passionate following. An anime adaptation hit screens in October 2020. A compilation film of the second season’s Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc is set for next year, and a sequel has also been announced.
As for the manga, three more volumes are set to be released in Japan this year, ending with the 30th. In the US, volume 24 will be released this December.

Here’s how Viz Media describes the first volume:
Yuji Itadori is resolved to save the world from cursed demons, but he soon learns that the best way to do it is to slowly lose his humanity and become one himself!
In a world where demons feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryoma Sukuna were lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural!
Yuji Itadori is high schooler who spends his days visiting his bedridden grandfather. Although he looks like your average teenager, his immense physical strength is something to behold! Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object, but little do they know the terror they’ll unleash when they break the seal…
