Jujutsu Kaisen Manga will resume on August 2 After Hiatus for Health Reasons
The "Jujutsu Kaisen" manga has been taking a month long hiatus after next week's issue due to mangaka Gege Akutami's deteriorating health. This comes after Shonen Jump encouraging Akutami to take a longer break for some time now, with the mangaka only having taken short breaks before.
On Friday, Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's official Twitter account confirmed that Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen manga will restart in the 35th issue, which will be released on August 2.
Due to Akutami's deteriorating health, the manga was put on hold with the 29th issue on June 21.
Synopsis
In a world where demons feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryoma Sukuna were 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!
Yuji Itadori is high schooler who spends his days visiting his bedridden grandfather. Although he looks like your average teenager, his immense physical strength is something to behold! Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object, but little do they know the terror they'll unleash when they break the seal...
