Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 1 by Gege Akutami introduces readers to the gripping world of jujutsu sorcery and supernatural battles. This first volume sets the stage for an explosive adventure that intertwines the fate of humans and cursed spirits.

In a world where cursed spirits, malevolent entities born from human negative emotions, prey on the unsuspecting, fragments of the legendary demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and scattered. Any cursed spirit that consumes Sukuna's body parts gains immense power, enough to threaten the very existence of humanity. To combat this looming threat, a clandestine school of jujutsu sorcerers works tirelessly to protect the balance between the living and the supernatural.

The story centres on Yuji Itadori, a seemingly ordinary high school student blessed with extraordinary physical strength. Despite being highly sought after by various athletic clubs, Yuji prefers the company of the quirky members of the Occult Research Club. His life takes a dramatic turn when the club comes into possession of a sealed cursed object. Unbeknownst to them, this object contains one of Sukuna's fingers, a powerful and dangerous artefact.

The situation quickly spirals out of control as the seal is broken, unleashing a horrific menace. In a desperate bid to save his friends from a deadly curse, Yuji makes a fateful decision: he swallows the cursed object, becoming the host for Sukuna's power. This choice thrusts Yuji into the treacherous world of jujutsu sorcery, marking the beginning of a supernatural war that will test his courage, strength, and resolve.

Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 1 masterfully combines thrilling action, dark fantasy, and compelling character development. Gege Akutami's storytelling prowess ensures that readers are captivated from the very first page, eager to follow Yuji's journey as he navigates his new reality, battles formidable cursed spirits, and strives to preserve the fragile balance between life and death.

Join Yuji Itadori as he embarks on a perilous path filled with ancient curses, powerful sorcerers, and epic battles. For fans of supernatural adventures brimming with excitement and intrigue, Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 1 is an unmissable beginning to an exceptional series.
