How Many Arcs Are There in Jujutsu Kaisen Manga?

Jujutsu Kaisen is a dark, supernatural, and action shonen manga series by Gege Akutami. It follows the life story of Itadori Yuji, who accidentally becomes the cursed vessel to the King of the Curses, Sukuna. Though he is classified as a world-ending threat and is supposed to be disposed of immediately, his new mentor, Gojo Satoru, has him join Jujutsu High School.
There, he is tasked with training and gathering Sukuna’s remaining fingers with his new friends, Megumi and Nobara. So that he can eat them and then be exorcised to remove the curse from existence.
If you are new to the sorcerer world, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga officially ended on September 29, 2024.
