The numbers keep on rising for Gege Akutami’s JUJUTSU KAISEN manga. Now, with the 18th volume on the way to shelves in Japan on December 25, the cover art has been revealed and those numbers have blown up to an incredible 60 million copies printed physically and sold digitally.
This number includes the first physical print run of the new volume, which heads to stores in Japan just one day after the theatrical premiere of the JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 movie. Last time we saw numbers was on October 4, when volume 17 launched, and the series was at 55 million copies at that time. This new update puts it past the likes of Gintama, and brings it closer to the success of The Prince of Tennis.
Here’s the cover for volume 18:
Crunchyroll and Funimation both streamed the JUJUTSU KAISEN TV anime as it aired. Here’s the official synopsis:
Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses… and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcise a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
