Final Chapter & Ending
Gege Akutami wrapped up Jujutsu Kaisen in chapter 271, published in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #44 (Sept. 30, 2024). For readers outside Japan, the chapter was available online a day earlier via official platforms. In these final pages, long-running plot threads were brought to a close, giving a definitive end to Yuji Itadori and friends’ story. The creator had been hinting at the conclusion for months and ultimately presented an epilogue-style finale.
The sudden announcement of the ending (only a few weeks’ notice) took many fans by surprise, but Akutami’s plan had always been to conclude the story around this point. The manga’s conclusion was marked by special events in Japan (a center-color spread, bonus postcards, etc.) and was covered by news outlets. Anime News and Oricon reports confirm that Jujutsu Kaisen concluded after 6½ years of serialization.
One practical note: the final volumes (#29 and #30) were released together on Dec. 25, 2024, so collectors could finally complete their sets. For anyone who prefers digital reading, the last chapters were posted at the usual Weekly Shonen Jump time (Sunday morning JST) on Viz’s Shonen Jump app and Manga Plus.
The Creator’s Farewell

Along with the final chapter, Akutami provided a heartfelt colored illustration and handwritten note to commemorate the ending. The art (pictured above) shows Yuji Itadori in a triumphant pose. Japanese text on the image reads roughly: “Jujutsu Kaisen – 100,000,000 copies & complete!! Thank you for all your support!! – Gege Akutami 2024.9.30.” This was printed as a special postcard and shared in Jump Issue #44 and on social media. Fans worldwide reacted to this message, which confirmed both the series ending and the huge sales milestone.
Oricon News (Japan’s entertainment news) reports that Akutami wrote: “100 million copies & the conclusion!! Thank you for all your support!!”. Even the anime staff joined in celebration: the director of Season 2, Shōta Goshozono, posted an illustration honoring Akutami’s hard work and the series finale. All of these tributes underline how the creator thanked fans for their support as the story closed.
Milestones and Legacy
The finale cemented Jujutsu Kaisen’s legacy in the manga world. Shueisha announced that the series had surpassed 100 million copies in circulation (including digital editions) as it ended. The Asahi Shimbun (a major Japanese newspaper) similarly noted the 100-million milestone along with news of the final chapter. This puts Jujutsu Kaisen alongside hugely popular titles like Dragon Ball, One Piece, Demon Slayer, and others that have crossed the 100M mark.
Aside from sales, the story’s popularity was seen in anime and film adaptations. The original anime (Season 1) aired Oct 2020–Mar 2021, followed by the feature film “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” in Dec 2021, and Season 2 in 2023. While the manga story ended with chapter 271, the franchise itself continues to thrive — Season 2 covered part of the manga’s later arcs, and a third season (covering the Culling Game arc) has been announced. In short, Jujutsu Kaisen is finished as a manga, but its world lives on through its anime and new projects.
Conclusion
In summary, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga is finished. The series reached its ending with chapter 271 in September 2024. Creator Gege Akutami bid farewell with a special illustration and thanks, and the franchise celebrated a massive 100M sales milestone. While the main story is wrapped up, the JJK universe isn’t disappearing – look out for the new spin-off Mojuro (Sept 2025) ,and continuing anime adaptations. For now, you can enjoy the complete manga series knowing exactly how Itadori and the gang’s journey ends, and then look forward to where the magic takes them next.
