With the Shibuya incident, the world is more vulnerable to the threats of the cursed spirits.

The Jujutsu elders sentenced death penalty to the sorcerers responsible for this, and even fan-favorite Gojo sensei is exiled from the Jujutsu world.

Fans are looking forward to Chapter 138 to know if Yuta agrees to kill Itadori, and it will be interesting to see how Sukuna reacts to the execution order of his host.

But it seems that we have to wait a bit longer to read the next chapter.

On Friday, the official Twitter account for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced that Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga is on break this week due to the mangaka’s sudden illness.

Thankfully, Akutami has now recovered, and the manga will resume serialization with its 138th chapter on February 15.

“Jujutsu Kaisen” was scheduled to be published in Weekly Shonen Jump No. 10 (sold on February 8th), but it will be suspended due to the mangaka’s sudden illness.

Gege Akutami says, “I am now in good physical condition and will resume serialization from the next issue, issue 11 (sold on February 15). Thank you for your understanding.”

This chapter may give us more details regarding the seal that imprisons Gojo. But is a seal enough to suppress his immense power? The mangaka is keeping us in darkness, and all we hope for is to see our favorite sensei back in the pages.

Jujutsu Kaisen manga has gained a considerable amount of popularity since the premiere of its anime adaptation.

Currently, it has more than 20 million copies in circulation, and this number is expected to rise even higher as the manga gradually heads towards a probable civil war in the Jujutsu world.
