After the Kentaro Miura case, there were several criticisms of the Weekly Shonen Jump system that seem to keep the writers busy. With the latest happenings too Jujutsu Kaisen, attention was paid precisely to Gege Akutami’s state of health.
In fact, there are incomplete pages in chapter 150 of Jujutsu Kaisen, a sign that the author may be tired and unable to properly complete the entire chapter. It’s no surprise the news comes from today’s Jujutsu Kaisen spoilers.
According to preliminary information, the Chapter 152 of Jujutsu Kaisen will only be 9 pages, almost a one-off for a manga of the genre that normally produces 19. Also, readers have been told that Jujutsu Kaisen will have a fairly long hiatus. According to the comment, Jujutsu Kaisen will take about a month off, whereby the period is not precisely defined. However, the author appears to have commented on the situation by saying that there will be enough time for recovery.
Here she is Full official note on the weekly Shonen Jump: “To our readers. Thank you for always reading Jujutsu Kaisen. Due to the precarious physical condition of Akutami Gege, Jujutsu Kaisen will be absent for some time from the next issue. Akutami wanted to continue writing, but after several discussions with the editors, a decision was made that it is best for the sensei to take time out. We have decided that the best thing to do is to allow the mangaka to recover physically. For more information, see the next issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. We apologize to the readers who follow us, but we ask you to continue to support us. “
On the same page, Sensei Akutami also left a comment: “I was asked by the editorial team to take a break from the series, but I didn’t want to slow down the weekly serialization of Jujutsu Kaisen as I want to draw the end of the series as soon as possible, which delays the reaction. However, unlike other mangakas, if they take a week-long break, I cannot find my rhythm again. If there were no interventions, it would repeat another time So I decided to accept the editor’s suggestion. The rest period should be about a month. Even if I say I’m sick, it’s actually not serious. I’m fine mentally so don’t worry. I’m so sorry to have to keep you waiting When I get back, I’ll do my best with serialization. “
Jujutsu Kaisen will take an indefinite break after the weekly Shonen Jump issue No. 28 due to Gege’s health.
