Jujutsu Kaisen Author Gege Akutami Wants Fans To Read This Manga

by

Gege Akutami created the popular manga series, Jujutsu Kaisen, which has quickly become a fan favorite. The manga, often referred to as JJK, has already sold over 100 million copies, establishing it as one of the best-selling manga ever.

I’ve been consistently impressed by Gege Akutami’s writing skills. Over time, it’s become clear he’s truly exceptional, and frankly, there aren’t many manga authors who can compete with his talent. Considering everything he’s achieved, it’s safe to say he’s well on his way to becoming a legend in the industry.

Gege Akutami Wants Fans To Read A Jujutsu Kaisen-Esque Manga

Nakaya Onsen Writes His Own Manga

  • Gege Akutami is a renowned mangaka
  • Phenomenon X: Paranormal Crime Files is akin to JJK

If Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, recommends something, it’s usually a good sign. He recently suggested checking out the manga Phenomenon X: Paranormal Crime Files, which is written by Nakaya Onsen – an animator who’s also worked on popular series like Jujutsu Kaisen, Fate Grand Order/Samurai Remnant, and Azur Lane.

People might be curious about why Gege Akutami is promoting this manga, and there are a couple of key reasons. First, it’s a supernatural mystery, which aligns with the themes of his own work, Jujutsu Kaisen. Second, someone who worked on the Jujutsu Kaisen anime is involved with this manga, and Akutami likely wants to support them. Of course, it’s also possible he simply enjoyed the manga himself and wants his fans to check it out.

Readers interested in the manga Nakaya Onsen will enjoy the story of Anan, a cat-eared detective, and her colleague, Kanai. Together, they investigate strange, paranormal events, and frequently find themselves facing challenging cases that push them to their limits.

Gege Akutami’s JJK Modulo Is Excellent

Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, is already working on a sequel manga called JJK: Modulo. The story takes place several years after the original series ends. While it was unexpected to see Akutami start a new project so quickly, it’s probable that Shueisha, the publisher, encouraged him to return. Jujutsu Kaisen was incredibly popular, and its absence left a significant gap in Shueisha’s manga offerings that other titles haven’t been able to fill, likely leading them to ask Akutami to create a continuation.

A positive aspect of the JJK Modulo project is that Gege Akutami is only writing the story, with Yuji Iwasaki handling the artwork. This will reduce Akutami’s workload, as drawing is very demanding. Since Modulo is expected to be a short series, Akutami won’t be tied up for long and can then prioritize his well-being.

Phenomenon X: Paranormal Crime Files is officially licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment.
