Read Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 1: The Beginning of JJK Manga
Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK), Chapter 1
The first chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen introduces Yuji Itadori, an athletic but easygoing high school student who prefers hanging out with his occult club friends rather than joining the track team. His life takes a dark turn when he unknowingly comes into possession of a powerful Cursed Object—Sukuna’s finger.
When his friends are attacked by Curses drawn to the artifact, Yuji teams up with Megumi Fushiguro, a Jujutsu Sorcerer, to save them. Desperate to protect others, Yuji makes a reckless decision—he swallows the cursed finger, allowing the legendary Curse Ryomen Sukuna to possess his body. However, unlike most, Yuji retains control, shocking Megumi and the Jujutsu world. The chapter ends with the arrival of Satoru Gojo, setting up Yuji’s uncertain fate.
Chapter 1 of “Jujutsu Kaisen” effectively sets the stage for an action-packed series, introducing readers to a world where the supernatural intersects with the everyday, and where courage and sacrifice are paramount.
