The opening volume works because its school-club oddness collides so quickly with bodily danger. Yuji's physical ease and reluctant bravery set up a brisk supernatural manga that feels accessible, energetic and already shadowed by the cost of borrowing demonic power.

- Book Synopsis
-
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! Although Yuji Itadori 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 Research Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object. Little do they know the terror they'll unleash when they break the seal.
Ideal for readers who:
- Love shonen manga that begins with a sharp supernatural hook
- Enjoy school settings disrupted by curses and forbidden objects
- Are drawn to Yuji Itadori's reckless bargain for power
