Jujutsu Kaisen Just Proved to Be the Most Influential Modern Manga with Three New Shonen Jump Series



 There’s no doubt that Jujutsu Kaisen’s popularity skyrocketed in the latest years, becoming the most popular anime in 2024, according to Record Guiness. This success transferred to manga, making Jujutsu Kaisen the second-best-selling manga of 2023 and the holder of first place so far in 2024.

 However, JJK’s impact goes beyond its popularity, as it’s changing the game in the manga industry. Even though exorcist series have always been popular, like Mob Psycho 100, D. Gray-Man, and Noragami, there’s been an increasing rise in this trope since Jujutsu Kaisen became a worldwide hit.

The immense popularity of Jujutsu Kaisen explains why many mangaka would seek to debut a series that emulates a bit of its success. This can be appreciated by the fact that Weekly Shōnen Jump will be debuting three new series starting next week, with two of these series, Kiyoshi The Exorcist and Yokai Buster Murakami, being about exorcists.

This shows a clear trend in the industry inspired by Gege Akutami manga that confirms that Jujutsu Kaisen is the most influential modern manga.

Defeat may be Southgate's last - but he'd leave England with head high

  Gareth Southgate has taken us on one heck of a journey over the past eight years, but I suspect Sunday’s defeat by Spain will be his last game as England manager. Right now Gareth will be hurting like hell after what happened in Berlin but my feeling is that, when the dust settles on the final of Euro 2024, he will decide he’s had enough. It should be his decision to stay or go - and I think it will be - but it is a tiring job and he has been doing it for a long time. If he does leave, he should go with his head held high because England are in a completely different place now compared to where they were when he took over in 2016. England were at rock bottom after losing to Iceland and becoming a laughing stock that summer, followed by the embarrassment of Sam Allardyce’s exit after his short stint in charge.Gareth came in and put a smile on everyone’s faces - bringing the squad together, getting us to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and then the final of the European Championship

Child benefit

  Child Benefit payments delayed with around 500,000 left waiting for their money – here's what we know so far Molly Greeves  | News & Investigations Reporter 3 June 2024 Share this Around 500,000 Child Benefit claimants are yet to receive their monthly payment for June, due today, which some say has left them unable to pay for bills and facing being hit with late payment and/or overdraft fees. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has asked people not to get in touch while it "urgently" tries to fix the problem – though it doesn't have a timeframe on how long this will take.  MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) was first alerted to the problem after concerned Child Benefit recipients contacted MSE founder Martin Lewis on social media. We're continuing to push for further information and we'll update this news story as soon as we know more.
