Currently approaching its 10th chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is drawing massive attention from fans. So far, this series has proven to be outstanding, focusing on fresh characters like Maru, Cross, and even Dabura.
JJK Modulo surprised many with its quality exceeding expectations. When it was first announced, readers were skeptical about its potential success. This doubt was understandable since the story is set 68 years in the future, meaning most beloved characters from the original Jujutsu Kaisen would no longer appear.
However, after only 9 chapters, Gege Akutami has silenced all doubts, proving the series’ undeniable appeal. Fans are excited about Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo not because it resembles the original, but because it boldly takes a completely different direction. Many are confidently calling it the best new-generation manga right now, and if it maintains this momentum, it could become the strongest series in the coming months.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is the best new-generation manga today
In the current Weekly Shonen Jump lineup, truly great manga are becoming rare. After pillars like Jujutsu Kaisen (which ended at chapter 271) and My Hero Academia (which wrapped up after nearly a decade) concluded, and promising series like Sakamoto Days started to cool off, Jump is in urgent need of fresh hits.
Right now, Jump features promising titles like Kagurabachi and Ichi the Witch, but none have yet become major breakout hits. Amid this uncertain new-generation manga landscape, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo stands out as a vital choice to fill the quality gap.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has excelled in its first 9 chapters. It expands on the concept of cursed energy, making it even more fascinating. The series introduces an alien character, a move fans were initially doubtful about after seeing other series like Boruto fail to fully explore this premise, yet here it becomes an extraordinary story. It’s unfortunate that this manga is confirmed as a short series, because it has the potential to become truly epic.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo might be Gege Akutami’s best work yet
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is not only a standout new-generation manga but is also regarded as Gege Akutami’s most literarily refined work to date. While the original Jujutsu Kaisen remains dominant in action and combat, Modulo showcases Gege’s true brilliance through deeper character development and more sophisticated storytelling. It’s thrilling to witness Gege’s remarkable growth as a writer right before readers’ eyes.
Gege Akutami remains a young mangaka with a bright future in the manga industry. The fact that Modulo is seen as a quality leap over Jujutsu Kaisen, something rare for sequels, speaks volumes about his talent. This success is largely because Gege does not draw Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo himself, freeing him from weekly deadlines and giving him more time to focus on plotting. In short, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is an absolute joy and well worth reading.
