I found this title on Libby one evening when I could not sleep.
“Jujutsu Kaisen, vol. 1” is the first installment of a manga series that follows Yuji Itadori. Yuji is just trying to make it through high school, unfortunately after he is exposed to a cursed object, and eats it, he becomes partly cursed himself. Now he has found himself recruited to a new school where he can help others keep people safe from these demonic beings, and hunt the rest of the cursed objects.
This manga was fine. I did not fully know what it was about before I picked it up, but I was expecting it to be more academic focused than it was. This series seems to be much more focused on battle, which is fine, it is just not for me.
I *might* continue in this series someday, but for now I am going to leave this series for others to enjoy.
