However, none of them have come true. Instead, the manga reveals a series of announcements that are far from exciting. In place of a sequel or spin-off, Jujutsu Kaisen is making the first 245 chapters of the manga free to read on the Shonen Jump+ app and Zebrack.
There will also be a countdown video, leading up to the ending of the manga. There will also be special wallpaper gifts in the SNS and the reveal of the Volume 27 cover.
