2024 was going to be the biggest year forJujutsu Kaisen, as the series featured some of the greatest moments in the history of the manga world. And even though the year is not even close to its end, Gege Akutami’s magnum opus has already reached the top and will probably dominate the industry until the end of the series.
The intriguing thing is thatJujutsu Kaisenwas not the only manga that was delivering bangers this year. Other series likeOne PieceandFrieren: Beyond Journey’s Endalso showcased some interesting plots that grabbed the attention of the viewers. However,Jujutsu Kaisenstill managed to beat them all.
This was proved when the half-year manga sales of 2024 were released, andJujutsu Kaisenbeat the industry giant and one of the Big Three:One Piece. Although the records are only for the first half of 2024, the current and upcoming narrative ofJujutsu Kaisenis bound to increase sales even more in the future.
