To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit, Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural!
In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural!
While investigating a strange set of mysterious deaths, Itadori meets Junpei, a troubled kid who is often bullied at school. However, Junpei is also befriended by the culprit behind the bloody incident—Mahito, a mischievous cursed spirit! Mahito sets in motion a devious plan involving Junpei, hoping to ensnare Itadori as well.
Where the Stakes Truly Hit Hard
"Vol. 4 of Jujutsu Kaisen takes everything good about the series so far and pushes it harder. The volume blends fast-paced action with emotional weight, especially as Yuji’s development becomes more central. The fights are crisp, creative, and full of Sakuga-like energy even on the page. What makes this volume stand out is how well it builds tension. The villains feel more threatening, the stakes get heavier, and the world of curses feels more alive and dangerous. Gege Akutami’s art hits a new stride here — sharp lines, intense expressions, and panels that feel explosive. It’s a perfect blend of action, mystery, and character growth. A clean 5/5 — dark, stylish, and impossible to put down."
