Readers were treated to a first look at the series through preview images released in the magazine’s previous issue. The debut chapter spans 54 pages and includes a vibrant color opening spread.

Akutami confirmed this is a limited-run project, estimating completion within approximately three volumes over six months, contingent on reception. The magazine cover spotlights this new addition to the franchise, signaling its importance.

Simultaneously, several other Jujutsu Kaisen initiatives were announced. Tokyo’s Sunshine City will host an extensive exhibition celebrating the anime’s second season starting December 5. The Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade game updates with fresh story content later this month, and organizers are preparing Juju Fes, marking five years since the anime’s debut, scheduled for 2026.

A literary expansion comes from acclaimed horror writer Yumeaki Hirayama, who will contribute a spinoff novel, though details about its release remain forthcoming.

The anime franchise continues its expansion with two compilation films. Following the May release covering the Hidden Inventory arc, theaters will screen Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution this fall, combining the Shibuya Incident storyline with previews of the upcoming third season. North American audiences can anticipate screenings beginning December 5.

Production on the highly anticipated third anime season progresses, with MAPPA returning to helm the adaptation of the Culling Game arc. The first installment is slated for January 2026, continuing the story that concluded as a manga last year after a successful six-year serialization consisting of 30 volumes.
