Jujutsu Kaisen review

It's overall just a really okay manga. It's not bad by any means, but I don't have a particular thing that I like about it aside from this one thing I'll get at later.

The story introduces interesting concepts in terms of its powers. I like when each character gets a fighting style unique to them. It makes their fights all the more interesting, at least in terms of visuals. Up until this point, the story was pretty okay too, but I have a hunch that after this arc ends, the quality will really rise, so I'm holding out on that hope.

The art is alright. It looks like shounen manga art. It's cool, but it's pretty much average to above average for me.

I don't particularly care for many characters. The one character I do genuinely care about, though, is the main character. I think the main character has the most interesting conflict in the entire series. He's pretty generic as far as the design and personality of a male lead go, but I am really interested in how he'll grow more than I am anybody else in the manga. When I said that I care about one thing, that thing is how Yuji will proceed in the plot. He carries my entire enjoyment of this manga. He's funny, he's endearing, he's compelling. It's a pleasant surprise given that I didn't have many hopes for him.

However, from there, I can genuinely say I do not care at all about the fate of anybody else whether it be an ally or an enemy. I could not care less about his classmates or his mentors which is an unpopular opinion given how people think the mentor is the best part of the series. The female lead is mildly interesting. The story is really heavily setting up a plot surrounding Yuji's quiet, dark-haired companion which again, I really could not care less about compared to how much I'm interested in Yuji and Sukuna's whole thing.

My enjoyment only started picking up recently. Before this arc, I was pretty much reading just to catch up before the anime aired.

Overall, it's a 7. I see potential, but I know it won't be realized for at least a year.
