Jujutsu Kaisen is an extremely popular Japanese manga and anime series by Gege Akutami. Thanks to its captivating storyline, unique characters, breathtaking animation (in the anime adaptation), and intense action sequences, it has gained a huge fan base worldwide.

Here is an overview of the most important aspects:

1. Summary of the plot: The story revolves around Yuji Itadori, an athletically gifted high school student. His life takes a drastic turn when he comes across a cursed object – a rotting finger that belongs to the powerful ancient sorcerer Ryomen Sukuna. To protect his friends from the curses emanating from the finger, Yuji swallows it and unwittingly becomes Sukuna's host.

Now that Yuji is a vessel for a dangerous curse, the leaders of the Jujutsu Society, a secret organization of jujutsu sorcerers tasked with protecting humanity from curses, initially sentence him to death. However, under the guidance of the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, Yuji's execution is suspended. Instead, he enrolls at Tokyo Jujutsu High, where he joins his classmates Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki. His new mission is to destroy all of Sukuna's fingers, which are scattered as particularly powerful cursed objects, so that Sukuna can be completely destroyed along with Yuji himself.

The series follows Yuji and his allies on their missions, where they exorcise curses, face powerful cursed spirits and curse users (sorcerers who use curses for their own nefarious purposes), and navigate the complex and often corrupt world of the jujutsu society. An important group of antagonists, led by the mysterious Suguru Geto (who later turns out to be the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku, who resides in Geto's corpse) and including powerful curses such as Mahito, Jogo, and Hanami, plans to reshape the world of jujutsu and eliminate Satoru Gojo, whose power maintains order.

Among the most important story arcs are the “Cursed Womb: Death Paintings” arc and the extremely impressive “Shibuya Incident” arc, which brings with it major conflicts, surprising betrayals, and tragic consequences that significantly alter the course of the story. The narrative deals with themes such as death, trauma, the nature of evil, and the importance of human relationships.

2. Main characters:

• Yuji Itadori: The protagonist, a high school student with immense physical strength who becomes the vessel for Sukuna. He is driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to help others.
