In recent days, anticipation for the promised “incredible project” of “Jujutsu Kaisen” reached its peak, fueled by the hype generated by publisher Shueisha and Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. However, thanks to leaks of the magazine's next issue It was revealed that the long-awaited announcement turned out to be a series of boring projects and far from what had been promoted.

Among the announcements revealed is the free and digital availability of the first 245 chapters of the manga in Japangesture that, although it is an interesting detail for fans, does not justify the term “incredible”. Another project is a countdown video that many assume is related to the manga's imminent endwhich was received with apathy rather than enthusiasm.

Furthermore, it was announced a series of wallpapers that will be released on the franchise's social networkslike this the reveal of the cover of Volume 27 of the mangaelements that, although grateful, fail to impress the followers of the work.

Despite widespread disappointment among fans with these announcements the leak of the next chapter of the mangawhich was already highly expected, He brought with him a big surprise that served to lessen the disappointment. The return of a beloved character caught the community's attention, greatly overshadowing the franchise's announced project.

This episode confirms once again that whenever an anime or manga franchise promises a “big announcement,” the information needs to be taken with a grain of salt. “Jujutsu Kaisen” fans were quick to express their frustration on social media, recalling similar instances in other franchises where expectations were disproportionate compared to actual announcements.

“Jujutsu Kaisen,” one of the most popular manga of recent years, is just five chapters away from completion (four if you count the leaked chapter), which has created a bittersweet feeling among fans as they watch one of their favorite series reach its climax. As the end approaches, fans of the franchise hope that the conclusion of the story lives up to expectations, without any more empty promises of “amazing” projects.
