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.

This is my first ever Manga book and I did enjoy what I had read. I want to thank my work friends for suggesting this to me because this did work really well.

Initially I was very much struggling with the reading of this because it is a new format to me, but I actually got used to it pretty quickly and I got into the flow of the story as well. It was a really interesting premise and I really became attached to Yuji in the end. I feel as though what I read very lightly touches the surface of all of the characters and I know that there is a much deeper history to them that is to come.

I did feel in places as though the plot was going over my head though. The lore behind the curses did confuse me at times and I feel as though it could have potentially been explained in the dialogue better? But potentially I just didn't understand it well and I should read it again. Also, I have been told that Manga does not always paint women favourably, but I just wish there were more female characters in this series.

Overall though, this was good and I am going to continue with the series.
