As of December 2020, the Jujutsu Ka Eisen manga had 15 million copies in circulation, including digital versions. Yūji Itadori is an unnaturally fit high school student living in Sendai with his grandfather. He regularly avoids the track team due to his aversion to athletics, despite his innate talent for the sport. He chooses to join the Occult Research Club, where he is able to relax and hang out with his seniors, and leave school by 5: 00 pm to visit his grandfather in the hospital. He is then confronted by Megumi Fushiguro, a sorcerer, who informs him of a high-grade cursed charm talisman at his school. His friends unsealed the talisman, a rotting finger, which attracted Curses to the school, creatures that are brought about through negative emotions and are strengthened by consuming magical powers present in sorcerers or such charms.
He swallows the finger to protect Megumi and his friends and becomes the host of Sukuna, a powerful Curse. Due to Sukuna’s evil nature, all sorcerers are required to exorcise him immediately. However, despite being possessed, he is still able to retain control over his body for the most part. Seeing this, Satoru Gojō, Megumi’s teacher, decides to take him to the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College to propose a plan to his superiors – postpone his death sentence until he consumes all of the Curses’ fingers, allowing them to kill him once and for all. This series would serve later as a prequel to Jujatsu Kaisen, being retroactively titled as Jujitsu Kaisen 0. In 2017, Akutami published Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, a 4- chapter series that ran in Jump GIGA from April 28 to July 28, 2017. He published his first work, titled Kamishiro Sōsa, in the same year, a one-shot chapter published in Jump NEXT! vol. 2 on May 7, 2014. His next work was No. 9, with a one shot chapter published on May 1, 2015, and another one- shot in the 46th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump on October 10, 2015.
