Gege Akutami is the proud creator ofJujutsu Kaisen, the manga that has traumatized an entire generation of otakus. In fact, it is also considered to be the top contender for the best shonen anime spot.
Yet, the author has revealed his regrets and frustrations about the series in a recent interview. His statements also sparked a debate between fans who are now curious if Akutami will create an entirely new manga or a sequel toJujutsu Kaisen.
Yuji Does Not Have a Global Goal inJujutsu Kaisen
Inan interviewon the Hidden Talent Arc ofJujutsu Kaisen,Gege Akutamiexpressed his regret over one possibility that he skipped inJujutsu Kaisen. Yuji, the popular protagonist ofJujutsu Kaisenhas gone through struggles worth a lifetime, but apparently, the author thinks there’s more to be desired.

But Gege does not demand more strength improvement or character development from Yuji, what he wants is something far from Yuji’s control. In the interview, Gege remarked:
I consider it a minus that there are no global goals in JJK like becoming a pirate king, I will try to improve next time.
So apparently, the author ofJujutsu Kaisennow wishes that he had dreamt bigger during the creation ofJujutsu Kaisen. Yuji’s immediate goal in the series is probably just to survive. Given the number ofhorrible murdersthat happen around him all the time,survival should be his key concern. Dreaming of reaching a certain higher goal is too improbable in his condition.
Is Gege Akutami Planning a New Project?
Gege Akutami’s dissatisfaction with the way he chose Yuji has led fans to expect a completely new series. If the author is in doubt about how they began the series, then it is only right to create a new one.
Recently, Gege Akutami also admitted that theJujutsu Kaisenmanga would end in December 2024. SinceJujutsu Kaisen’s end is near, it is prime time for Gege Akutami to create a new series. There is a chance that Akutami made his statement while ruminating about his next idea or storyline. Maybe the next protagonist will have bigger goals in the story as well as his life.
So far, Akutami has not stated if a new project is in the works. Given the amount of work pressure faced by mangakas, it is not possible to work on new ideas simultaneously. Since Jujutsu Kaisen is a weekly manga, it is even harder for Akutami to create enough gaps between work to think of new ideas.

Nonetheless, the prospect of Gege Akutami’s new work is ambiguous news. On the one hand, you will probably receive another hottie like Gojo Satoru, but on the other hand, you risk months of depression.
