JUJUTSU KAISEN

Yuji Itadori was just a normal high school student until he runs into Megumi Fushiguro. Megumi approaches Yuji and tells him he is looking for a certain object that is supposed to be at the school he is currently attending. Yuji tells him that he had found it not too long ago and gave it to his friends in the occult club to figure out what it was. Yuji learns that it is a finger from an individual that lived about one thousand years ago that came to be known as the curse king. All of the fingers from Sukuna became cursed objects which draw other curses towards them. Normal people can't see curses, but those with cursed energy can. These people go to Jujutsu High School and are known as Jujutsu Sorcerers. With this knowledge Yuji realizes that his friends could die due to how dangerous Sukuna's fingers are. So Megumi and Yuji rush to save them. They arrive before its too late and are able to save Yuji's friends. However, Megumi and Yuji now find themselves in danger due to the curses which take the form of monsters. While they are backed into a corner Megumi tells Yuji that Sukuna's fingers are sometimes eaten to give whoever eats it cursed energy. Without thinking Yuji eats the finger and not only does he receive cursed energy, but Sukuna awakens within him. Now Yuji is told that the people in charge of the Jujutsu Sorcerers want him dead, because if he dies then Sukuna dies with him. But a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer named Gojo tells him he has two options, to either die now, or find all of Sukuna's fingers, eat them, and then die. Naturally Yuji chooses the latter, and begins his journey as a Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Jujutsu Kaisen has a similar feel to Demon Slayer, like I thought it would. However, it takes place in modern day japan, rather than in the Taisho Period. The demons and curses bear some resemblance, and Sakuna is like the equivalent to Muzan Kibutsuji, but unfortunately doesn't look like Michael Jackson. Not that Muzan did 100% of the time either. I also didn't find myself wishing that Yuji would get stronger in the same way I did for Tanjiro. However, the thing I think is better about Jujutsu Kaisen than Demon Slayer, is that it doesn't feel repetitive like Demon Slayer did after the first season. Each episode makes you curious about what happens next, and the fights aren't super drawn out. It is also gives you an idea about how powerful each curse is without them having to destroy a city to prove it like they did with Demon Slayer. Another pro of Jujutsu Kaisen is that everybody stays completely modest and there is no unnecessary fan service. There is some swearing though. Overall I would definitely suggest watching Jujutsu Kaisen if you haven't given it a try already.
