Shueisha reported on Monday that the initial run of the upcoming 16th volume of Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga will have 2 million copies.
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 manga’s 15th compiled volume alone had 1.5 million copies in its initial run — the first time that any of the manga’s volumes has had more than 1 million copies in its initial run.
