Goodreads Synopsis:
Yuji Itadori is
resolved to save the world from cursed demons, but he soon learns that
the best way to do it is to slowly lose his humanity and become one
himself!
In a world where demons feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryoma Sukuna were lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the undead!
Yuji Itadori is high schooler who spends his days visiting his bedridden grandfather. Although he looks like your average teenager, his immense physical strength is something to behold! Every sports club wants him to join, but Itadori would rather hang out with the school outcasts in the Occult Club. One day, the club manages to get their hands on a sealed cursed object, but little do they know the terror they’ll unleash when they break the seal...

Review:
From the beginning, I'm unsure who we're following. We meet Fushiguro
investigating a cursed object, and then go to Itadori, who's an
average high school boy. He's in the occult club, but mainly because
he needed to join a club that wouldn't overlap his outside-school
responsibilities. Though he's found friends there, this is all
interrupted when Fushiguro shows up and demons attack the school.
When Itadori swallows the cursed finger, everything for him changes.
This was a wild volume. We get thrown to a couple of different places
and we follow Itadori most of the time, but Fushiguro sometimes, too.
The whole plot itself is a bit crazy, really. And then we're in
danger as the volume ends, so I'm curious where that will go, as I'm a little doubtful that the warning we're given will be true.
I appreciate that, while this does take the stereotypical shonen
route, it feels a bit new. Particularly, the lone female character is
not just here for her big boobs—she's kind of awful, honestly.
We'll see how that goes, though.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
