What happened—how did JJK end?
The creator Gege Akutami officially concluded Jujutsu Kaisen with chapter 271. That final chapter came out on September 30, 2024, in the Japanese magazine issue #44 of Weekly Shōnen Jump.
The manga began in March 2018, so overall it had a run of about six and a half years. Japan Anime News powered b.
At the end, the series had sold over 100 million copies (digital + print), which shows how big and popular it became worldwide.
In his final message, Akutami thanked the fans for their support—making it clear that the story was finished as he intended.
So yes—the original JJK manga story is officially over.
What “over” means—is it completely done for good?
“Over” refers to the main storyline ending. The core conflict, character arcs, and main plot have been resolved
That said, “over” doesn’t necessarily mean “nothing more ever.” The ending simply means the original JJK run is complete. But down the road, there could still be spin-offs, side stories, or other related works (though that depends on the author/publisher).
Even after the end, the world of JJK lives on in fans’ hearts—many enjoy rereading the series, discussing theories, or exploring character details, now that they have the full story.
What it means for fans and new readers
New readers — you can now enjoy the full story from start to finish without worrying “when will it end?”
Fans who followed weekly: now you can reread from start to finish in one go, see how everything ties together, and appreciate the full journey.
More time for discussion and reflection about the ending, the characters’ arcs, what could have been done differently, and what was done right.
If you like comfort in closure—the main plot is resolved. If you like open possibilities, remember: spin-offs or future related content might still come.
FAQ
Q: So, is there a sequel coming soon?
A: As of now, there’s no confirmed direct sequel to the main JJK manga. The official run ended with chapter 271.
Q: Does “ended” mean the world of JJK is completely closed?
A: Not necessarily. While the main story is done, authors or publishers sometimes revisit a popular series through spin-offs, side stories, or special chapters. But nothing officially confirmed yet for JJK.
Q: Can I still read JJK legally?
A: Yes—the full manga is usually available through official platforms (physical volumes or digital editions) for anyone to read even now.
Q: Did the ending wrap up every story thread?
A: The author intended to give a proper conclusion. The final chapters bring closure to major conflicts and arcs as planned. So, most major plots get resolved.
Q: What about the anime adaptation? — Does this ending affect it?
A: The anime adaptation may still have remaining arcs to adapt (depending on how far the anime has reached), so the ending of the manga gives anime producers full source material to finish
What fans feel—mixed but hopeful
When a beloved series ends, it’s often bittersweet. Fans of JJK seem to share mixed feelings: some feel nostalgic or sad that the journey is over; others feel satisfied by the closure. And for many, it’s a moment to reflect on the characters’ growth, the story’s themes, and personal memories tied to reading or watching JJK.
For new readers: this is a great time to start. You get the entire story at once—no waiting for weekly chapters, no uncertainty about how long it’ll last.
For older fans: the ending doesn’t have to be the “end.” It might be the start of fan fiction, community discussions, art, or just rereading to appreciate small details.
Conclusion
Yes—JJK manga is officially over. The final chapter—271—came out on September 30, 2024. The story that spanned years is now complete, giving closure to its characters and plot. For fans old and new alike, this means the full story is ready to enjoy from start to finish. But the world of JJK may continue in other forms (spin-offs, side stories, and adaptations), so the end of the manga doesn’t have to be the end of everything.
