Gege Akutami Quietly Drops A Big Update About Jujutsu Kaisen’s Future

by

Gege Akutami is now a major figure in the world of manga, best known as the creator of the popular shonen series, Jujutsu Kaisen. The series quickly became a huge success, achieving similar popularity to other hit manga and anime like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia. Sadly, the story concluded in 2024 in what many felt was a hurried fashion.

Gege Akutami plans to release a short follow-up series to Jujutsu Kaisen in 2025, called Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo. This series takes place many years after the original story ends and was always intended to be brief. While fans are excited for Modulo, they’re hoping Akutami will eventually create a longer, new story – and a recent message in Weekly Shonen Jump suggests either another Jujutsu Kaisen sequel or a completely new manga might be in the works.

Gege Akutami Confirms He Wants To Continue To Create More Manga

The popular manga series The Elusive Samurai recently concluded after 238 chapters, leaving fans disappointed. The series was created by Yusei Matsui, who is also known for his previous hit, Assassination Classroom. Following the ending, many manga artists sent messages of thanks and appreciation to Matsui for his contributions to the industry, including Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen.

“I also want to continue facing manga consistently, just like Matsui-sensei!” — Gege Akutami

Gege Akutami, similar to Yusei Matsui, intends to keep creating manga. This strongly suggests he has future manga projects in the works.

Gege Akutami Could Be Hinting At New JJK Sequel After Modulo

I’ve been following the buzz around Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, and his recent comments about wanting to create more manga. It’s got fans wondering what’s next for the series. Jujutsu Kaisen was his first manga, and it really took off – it’s currently selling over 150 million copies worldwide, making it a huge success! Because of that, he’s become a pretty big deal in the manga world, and it’s clear that Weekly Shonen Jump is hoping he’ll continue working with them on new projects for a long time.

With its popularity and the rich world Gege Akutami created, Jujutsu Kaisen has a lot of potential for future stories. We might see a continuation of the series through a sequel or a story set earlier in time as a prequel.

The Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga could potentially continue for a longer run, as there’s still plenty of exciting story to tell. Alternatively, the author, Gege Akutami, might explore the events that happened in the 68 years between the original Jujutsu Kaisen series and Modulo, giving fans more insight into the existing characters. Another option is a prequel, which could showcase earlier periods in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, like the Heian Era. Given the current popularity of Modulo, fans and Shonen Jump would likely welcome any new content Gege creates for the series.

Gege Akutami Could Come Up With A Brand New Series

Although there’s a chance Jujutsu Kaisen will continue with a new story, the author, Gege, might be considering something different. Like many manga artists, he could decide to start a completely new project. Jujutsu Kaisen has been his most successful work so far, and as a talented creator, he might want to demonstrate his skills with a brand new story.

  • Lots of manga artists have achieved even greater success with their second series. For example, Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, and Yoshihiro Togashi, known for Hunter x Hunter, both had huge follow-up hits. Yusei Matsui, who Gege recently mentioned, also found great success with his second manga.

While it’s difficult to picture Gege Akutami creating something better than Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s certainly possible. We don’t yet know what his next manga might be about, but fans of JJK would likely be eager to see it.

It’s likely that Gege’s next manga won’t be fully drawn by him. Considering the health issues he experienced while finishing Jujutsu Kaisen, another artist, such as Yuji Iwasaki, might handle the illustrations. Gege and Shonen Jump will reveal details about his future projects soon, so fans should watch for updates.
