It’s only been a short while since the final chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen” was published towards the end of 2024, and the absence of Gege Akutami’s captivating storytelling left a significant gap in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. Given how exceptional his manga crafting is, fans were eager for another installment from this brilliant artist.

Fans have long anticipated Gege Akutami’s comeback, knowing it was only a matter of time. Today, the news broke that he is indeed returning with a fresh manga titled “Mojuro.” This upcoming work by Gege Akutami will be a brief manga and set to debut in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from Issue #41, which arrives next week. With excitement building, fans eagerly await the manga’s release. A notable observation among fans is that Gege Akutami’s presumed new main character bears a striking resemblance to Ryomen Sukuna.

Gege Akutami’s new manga is about to start shortly, as the serialization for it kicks off next week. Fans can look forward to reading chapter 1 of Mojuro next week, meaning that promotions for this manga will be everywhere in Jump. In this week’s issue of Shonen Jump, Gege Akutami’s new manga was officially unveiled, and fans are particularly thrilled to catch a glimpse of one of the main characters from Mojuro.

Throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the Honoured One! — Narrator on Sukuna

In the advertisement, the man appears to sport marks under his eyes reminiscent of Sukuna’s signature dark circles, and his hair bears a striking resemblance to Sukuna’s distinctive style. Furthermore, the character sports some enigmatic tattoos on his face that mirror those found on Sukuna. The clothing worn by the advertised character seems to echo Ryomen Sukuna’s attire as well. Given these similarities, one can’t help but wonder if this new character might share some connection with Ryomen Sukuna. Could it be possible? Absolutely!

It’s been noticed by many viewers that the character design for this individual seems strikingly similar to Sukuna, leading some to speculate that there could be a connection between these two characters or even a possibility that Gege Akutami’s upcoming narrative might take place in the same universe as Jujutsu Kaisen.

Could Gege’s New Manga Be Connected To The JJK-Verse?

The Chances Are Low, But It Is Possible

It wouldn’t be surprising if Gege Akutami’s upcoming manga takes place within the universe of Jujutsu Kaisen, given the supernatural elements in both worlds. Since this new work is short, it might follow a continuation or spin-off storyline in the same world. The similarity between the character and Sukuna could potentially signify a reincarnation or kinship with him. However, it’s also possible that Gege was inspired by Ryomen Sukuna for the character design, and the two mangas remain unconnected.

It’s quite sad, but it seems probable. Regardless, the resemblance of this character to Sukuna underscores the immense impact that Sukuna had on Gege Akutami, showcasing just how remarkable a character Sukuna truly was.

On September 7, 2025, I’ll have the privilege of witnessing the debut of Gege Akutami’s Mojuro’s first chapter! Excitingly, enthusiasts like me can savor this chapter for free on Manga Plus.
