Jujutsu Kaisen review

The jujutsu kaisen series is enjoyable. I could reread it and not get bored, but it is a series that feels like its not matching up to its potential. Every chapter feels like its lacking something define to it.

Story: 7

The story line is pretty good. They have a lot set up for future chapters, but it isn't something never seen. If you have read the synopsis, you could tell. Very similar to blue exorcist, but it has its own sparks that make it more enjoyable. For a series with around 100 chapters thus far though, it feels like its one big rush and sometimes the storyline becomes vague. They timeskip in unexpected places and you feel like you missed a chapter or two. You would also expect some of those "set up for future chapters" to come in, but its just plot holes after plot holes. However, the series has so much to give if the plot thickens. The timeskips bother me, but its not enough reason for me to stop reading.

Character: 7

There wasn't enough character interactions. One minute you meet a new character, and they time skip and become best friends. The characters are quite hollow as of now and I feel like they could all be likable characters if we could see them interact more.There is not enough insight of the mc's thoughts either. I would say the author might be focusing more on the action thriller aspect of the story, but gives up on showing the characters actually just chilling with each other. Though it would definitely benefit the story telling if we had some insight on the personal turmoil's in the characters.

Art: 9

The art is perfect for deciphering the characters emotions and the author knows how to angle the scene in a way that pulls readers into the world. I can't say its beautiful, but I like the sketchy and simple style it has as it fits the vibe of the manga.

Enjoyment: 8

It is a really enjoyable series so far. It certainly kept me reading despite all that its missing. The mc is a likable character as well. You will find that the story doesn't really revolve around just the mc either, the same way that Gon is to hunterxhutner actually.

Conclusion

There is just so much the series could become, but it hasn't gotten there yet. It will be an action packed, interesting read for you to pass the time for sure though, so don't skip out!
