Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Blinding Darkness by Gege Akutami

Step in out of the salty air and settle in for a story that hooks you from the very first page. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is the essential prequel to the wildly popular supernatural exorcist saga, and it makes for a perfect starting point—whether you’re brand new to the series or a longtime fan looking to fill in the gaps.

Here’s the setup: in a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary demon Ryomen Sukuna lie scattered and waiting. Should any demon consume these body parts, the power they gain could unravel the world as we know it. Standing in the way? A mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers, sworn to protect the living from the supernatural.

At the heart of it all is Yuta Okkotsu, a nervous high school student with a haunting problem. His childhood friend Rika has become a Curse—and she simply won’t leave him alone. When his plight catches the eye of the enigmatic teacher Satoru Gojo, Yuta finds himself enrolled at Jujutsu High. But can he learn enough, fast enough, to confront the Curse that shadows his every step?
