Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami. The story is set in a world where Cursed Spirits feed on unsuspecting humans and fragments of the feared curse Ryomen Sukuna have been scattered.
The protagonist, Yuji Itadori, a high school student, becomes a Jujutsu Sorcerer after swallowing one of Sukuna's cursed fingers. He joins a secret organization of sorcerers to eliminate curses and collect all of Sukuna's fingers, aiming to perform a full exorcism and free himself from the curse.
Throughout the show and manga, Yuuji is faced with the loss of precious friends, as well as having to confront his own weaknesses, especially against another curse by the name of Mahito, who has become one of the main antagonists of the story.
