Right now, we're trial and error with the material together. Keep trying! And all of you, please come to the exhibition when it opens!».

Synopsis of Jujutsu Kaisen

High school student Yuuji Itadori, who becomes involved in unfounded paranormal activities with the Occult Club, spends his days in the clubroom or at the hospital, where he visits his bedridden grandfather. However, this peaceful lifestyle soon turns strange when he unknowingly comes across a cursed object. Setting off a chain of supernatural events, Yuuji suddenly finds himself immersed in the world of curses—terrifying beings formed from human evil and negativity—after swallowing the said object, which turns out to be a finger belonging to the demon Sukuna Ryoumen, the "King of Curses."

Yuuji experiences firsthand the threat these curses pose to society while discovering his own new powers. Introduced to the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical School, he begins a path from which he cannot return: that of a Jujutsu sorcerer.
