Jujutsu Kaisen spin-off fans, rejoice: Jujutsu Kaisen author Gege Akutami has announced a new series, titled Mojuro, which is officially underway. The spin‑off launches on September 8, 2025, in Weekly Shonen Jump, and will run for approximately six months, to be collected into three volumes. Akutami confirmed this return to the universe less than a year after the main manga concluded in September 2024, stating that Mimojuro is not a direct sequel but rather a parallel exploration of the world, allowing experimentation across different eras and characters (source: Express Tribune).
In coverage by The Financial Express, the piece highlights Akutami’s broader intentions. He shared that while serializing the original Jujutsu Kaisen, he declined many spin‑off offers from others to maintain creative control. But he welcomed this one—seeing it as an opportunity to open “the door to many different projects.” The article also refers to the project as “Mojuro” and emphasizes its short‑term serialization, expected to span about six months and possibly culminate in three volumes (though the name “Mojuro” may be a shorthand or variation of “Mimojuro”).
It confirms the six‑month span, the three‑volume format, and notes that Akutami stays true to his style while experimenting in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. The spin‑off’s title has ignited speculation: some suggest “‑juro” is a naming suffix meaning “tenth son,” while others view it as symbolic.
What’s next for the Jujutsu Kaisen spin-off
Mimojuro remains shrouded in mystery. We know:
- The artist is Yuji Iwasaki, known for his work on Cipher Academy; he’s confirmed to illustrate the spin‑off (Express Tribune).
- The first chapter is expected to be 54 pages long, including color spreads—a standard format for high‑impact Jump launches (Express Tribune).
Plot, characters, and story direction have not been confirmed beyond what’s in the sources. Fans are speculating about whether it will explore future generations or untold arcs, but no concrete plot details are currently confirmed.
Why the announcement matters
This announcement marks Akutami’s return to the Jujutsu Kaisen universe in a bold way—through a compact, experimental spin‑off rather than another sprawling saga. Given the series’ conclusion in September 2024, new content arriving less than a year later shows the creator’s continued engagement and willingness to evolve the world on his own terms.
As the Jujutsu Kaisen spin-off Mimojuro – or “Mojuro” – prepares to launch on September 8, 2025, readers have much to look forward to. The six‑month run, experimental tone, and creative team promise fresh energy. Stay tuned as this exciting new chapter unfolds in Weekly Shonen Jump.
