The creator of Jujutsu Kaisen , Gege Akutami, has just surprised fans with the announcement of a new series titled "Mimojuro" . The manga will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump , starting with issue 41, with a release date scheduled for September 8, 2025 .
While Akutami will be responsible for the story, the art will be handled by Iwasaki Yuuji , an illustrator known for his work on Cypher Academy (Angou Gakuen no Iroha) . This collaboration promises to unite Gege's dark and enigmatic creativity with Yuuji's stylish line work.
Mimojuro is short-lived
