The official Twitter account for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Thursday that Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga will go on hiatus beginning with the magazine’s 29th issue on June 21 due to Akutami’s poor health.
The film is based on Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Tokyo Toritsu Jujutsu Kōtō Senmon Gakkō (Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School) manga prequel story.
Gekijō-ban Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie), a new anime film for the franchise, will open this winter.
The Jujutsu Kaisen anime premiered on October 2 last year, and it had 24 episodes.
