Get ready, Curse hunters, because the Jujutsu Kaisen anime is headed exclusively to Crunchyroll this Fall.
The hotly-anticipated adaptation of Shonen Jumps's dark supernatural manga will be streamed as part of the anime brand's October anime season and will be available worldwide, outside of Asia. The anime series reunites Studio MAPPA and Director Sunghoo Park, who are responsible for the currently airing WEBTOON/Crunchyroll Original, The God of High School.
A previously released trailer for the series, as well as an official synopsis, can be found below.
Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become Curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What's more, the Curses can only be exorcised by another Curse.
Itadori Yuji is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a friend who has been attacked by Curses, he eats the finger of the Double-Faced Specter, taking the Curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the Double-Faced Specter. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Gojo Satoru, Itadori is admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Sorcery, an organization that fights the Curses... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a Curse to exorcise a Curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
Created by Gege Akutami, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga began serialization in 2018 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, to high critical and commercial acclaim. The series is currently simulpublished in English by Viz Media.
An exact air date for the Jujutsu Kaisen anime has yet to be announced.
