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.
