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 cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen 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 supernatural!
A cursed womb mysteriously appears at a detention facility. Itadori and his classmates are dispatched to the scene, but they're in for quite the surprise when they're attacked by a special-grade curse! Itadori allows Sukuna to take over his body in order to survive, but the consequences are more drastic than anyone expected!

Review:
Given the ominous warning of the previous volume, and yet how most
stories go, I saw this plot point coming. But still, I don't mind it,
even if some kind of surprise would have been nice. I think it makes
sense, given that there are two people living in one body now and
some kind of compromise has to be met.
After that first case, Itadora gets to find out what school will be
like now. He meets his new classmates, while we're still discovering
more about the other people he's met.
I do think a couple of the characters are interesting, and I think
we're still just getting to know all of them. This still very much
feels like the beginning of the series, and I think we're really just
getting started with the plot as well.
It feels a little fresh for a shonen series, while still having the
general set-up of a Bleach kind of series. I'm intrigued still.
