When does it get good? Right now it seems like a yaoi version of Bleach/Naruto.
Jujutsu Kaisen

Around Chapter 19, the arc where they introduce the patchwork dude. We spend more time with the main character, and it introduces a strong villain and side character. If you're not enjoying it by then don't hesitate to drop it.
Ethan James
I warmed up to it pretty steadily but Mahito was the first thing that was actually interesting and he gets better with time.
Jaxson Cooper
I think it was actually interesting since the beginning, my issue was that the setup didn't give us as much character focus to get attached to them as we wanted in the early chapters, and then when the Cursed Womb arc happened the characters were thrown into a high-stakes situation six chapters in before we got to really get attached to them. It was less a fault of the writing and more a fault of the breakneck pacing so early on, but you could tell Gege had quite a bit to say and that alone intrigued me, even if I wasn't emotionally within it.
Landon Diaz
6,15,27,45,59,73 Are the chapters where it spikes and continues to get noticeably better.
Isaac Long
>continues to get noticeably better.
Unless we're counting the anime release, judging by the trailer.
Joshua Clark
I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that the anime is going to be bad?
Jaxson Wilson
Not looking great, though maybe the trailer isn't fair to the show. Who knows, maybe they'll even decide not to go with the pink hair thing for Yuji.
Easton Rivera
I think it's fine, the only really bad thing about it is the CGI finger, which is probably only being used for that PV only. Although, I am worried about the production itself since Akutami said that things aren't going along as well as they should be.
Isaiah Allen
this, Juju also has some excellent later arcs. My favorite being the one that focuses on Gojo growing up
Adrian Garcia
>Akutami said that things aren't going along as well as they should be
He shouldn't have sealed Gojo then. It's his fault 2020 got fucked!
Jordan Davis
Did they? Where?
Grayson Powell
>These are hard times we're living in, and of course the production of anime isn't proceeding as usual. I'm striving in order to not become a nuisance. That being said, I was able to take a look at the storyboard for the first episode a while back and it's a treat for the otaku of my generation. I'm looking forward to it!
I paraphrased a bit originally, but it's still somewhat scary for that to be said.
Connor Brown
sounds like it's just related to the virus.
Isaac Perry
Of course, which impacts the production.
Caleb Torres
>Mappa Kaisen
Brody Nelson
I personally don't get the appeal. Combat system is great but everything else about is pretty safe/mediocre.
Andrew Powell
What is "everything else"?
Caleb Rogers
Every thread until Gojou gets unsealed
He will be unsealed from you, Getoufag!
Jordan Richardson
Read a chunk of chapters and besides tha art (i think is top tier) the story sucks balls, so ili speed read until chapter 19 if it gets good.
Cameron Sanchez
yuuji’s hair is strawberry blonde, why would they change that?
John Peterson
Sebastian Thompson
The appeal for me lies mostly in the characters, so I would personally disagree in that the characters feel safe or mediocre. My main thing is that I like how they're not super trope-y or cliche - they all have little things about them you learn right away, like their sense of morality or their ideals. Their ideals are important in this setting - whether they kill or not, why they became sorcerers. Even when in a group, they rarely feel like they play against a "hard archetype", like "dumbass" or "moody stoic". It's a cast that feels a lot like actual people, rather than a bunch of tropes that occasionally get interesting scenes just so the author can say "SEE LOOK THEY'RE INTERESTING SOMETIMES". It's a cast of teenagers that actually feel like teenagers and not annoying, shouting middle-schoolers. Coming from One Piece, Hero Academia and Black Clover, seeing a cast written with tact and humor that is actually entertaining is just extremely refreshing.
This is ignoring the other aspects I like, like how the lore is well-done, the actual relationships between the cast is strong, and the worldbuilding and foreshadowing are so much more tightly plotted and clearly "thought out" than series like MHA despite just barely being above 100 chapters.
Henry Bell
Sounds like he's letting some shit slip to help the flow of the anime keep going, but something isn't right nonetheless.
Austin Young
>Right now it seems like a yaoi version of Bleach/Naruto.
Asher Moore
H-he will be released!
Hunter Cooper
don't speed read, user. if you think it genuinely sucks so far you might as well drop it. it's gonna get better but if you absolutely hate it at its core you're probably not gonna like what comes up, and at the very least you won't appreciate it much if you just blitz through the early chapters.
Ian Cruz
I can naturally speed read user, not in the sense that we use here but in the good one.
I can always come back and reread if i find something interesting.
William Robinson
This. The art is gets really good towards the latter half of the series too.
Liam Bell
>Gets the cover
>Anime announcement
>Still the only Jump manga with no korean scans
Fuck you manamoa
Jackson Carter
I know you mean well but for the love of god dont encourage people who admit to speedreading to read jujutsu.
Jose Hall
>He can't power read.
Faggot.
Brandon Johnson
>mappa kaisen
>late scans every week
I now know how mechamaru feels.
Parker Baker
Stop being so entitled, man. If you think this is bad, you would've not been able to survive the chapter releases in 2018.
Kayden Gonzalez
The author knows how to write in a way that isn't violently obnoxious like a lot of manga/anime tend to be. It feels like it comes from their own understanding of the world and not what some otaku's IDEA of the world is like. The characters don't have one-note gimmick traits (except Todo), the ladies are handled respectfully without being reduced to coomerbait, and the world and the players in it aren't painfully idealistic. I respect Gege and Jujutsu Kaisen purely because it feels like one of the few stories that approaches its writing with a semblance of dignity. I'm not saying that makes it better than other series, but it has such a respect for itself and the audience's intelligence by not bogging things out with patronizing fanservice, annoying character gimmicks/traits or forced scenes that actively try to wring emotion out of the viewer, which is so comforting in this age.
