Crunchyroll has announced that the highly-anticipated anime “JUJUTSU KAISEN” will head to the platform exclusively as part of Crunchyroll’s upcoming anime season this October. The series will be available to the anime community worldwide, outside of Asia.

Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death, and can only be exorcised by another curse. “Jujutsu Kaisen” follows the life of teenager Yuji Itadori, who finds himself entangled in an epic battle between sorcerers and powerful curses, even becoming possessed himself.

MAPPA, the powerhouse animation studio, will animate the series with Sunghoo Park leading the show’s direction, after recently teaming up for “The God of High School,” another Crunchyroll Original series. The manga for “Jujutsu Kaisen” launched in 2018 and as of June 2020, more than 6.5 million copies are currently in circulation. For fans eager to catch up on the manga before the show premieres, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is published by Shueisha in Japan and VIZ Media in the United States.
