180 chapters later and the magic system still fucks with my brain

i didn't need to know a cockroach cursed spirit existed

“Everyone is exhausted after Shibuya. Neither their mind, not their body can take this anymore.”

Here we have another action-packed volume... it was fine.

Okkotsu's return to the story, and the fact he was the focus, was a sweet detail and I appreciated getting to learn more about him but, I do have to say, that I feel less and less invested in this fights with random enemies every time.

There are some attempts at the more highbrow, philosophical, existential diatribes that we had in abundance in the earlier volumes but since they often come from characters I care little about they don't feel impactful in the least and seem a little out of place. They may be pertinent to the character we are currently engaging with - in this case Yuuta - but it just feels a little flat.

Not to say that the content we had for Okkotsu was boring or bad because we learned a lot about him and it was quite fun to see him in action, properly, for what is basically the first time.

Undubtfully, the crash from the absolutely brutal and mind-blowing Shibuya arc is too deep of a contrast to parse easily.

We need our characters to reunite and we need more established villains, but as it is for right now, this was a nice enough volume.

“I guess it all comes down to a sorcerer’s lies.”

Do I fully understand how their cursed techniques and domains work? no.
Am I enjoying myself? yes and that is all I need tbh.

Rika you are amazing and I'm watching you...

[Lauren Lanz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Haven’t read JJK in a while, so I forgot some of the Culling Games logistics. Even still, this was a really enjoyable volume because of the unique opponents Reggie, Uro and Ishigori. Plus, Yuta is back in the action; I love seeing his perpetually-tired face fighting once again.

i love jjk but i have no idea what’s going on anymore. i miss gojo :/

[marri౨ৎ‧₊˚. · Rating 4 out of 5]

yuta is back and that's all that matters 😍

[Keiko, the manga enthusiast ♒︎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sendai colony arc has only 5 parts as of today, but hell yea, I'm going to rate it 5 stars because it could go no wrong. THIS IS ACTUALLY AN OUTLET— I WANT TO FREAK OUT BECAUSE #178 HAPPENED TONIGHT. I'M GOING TO CHANGE THIS WHEN I FINALLY SEE THE TANKOBON EDITION HAHAHA. I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!! AUGH I'M SO PUMPED UP RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, MAN, BATTLE OF THE DOMAIN EXPANSIONS. AUGH. Okkutsu better be the cover guy in this volume or else!!

By the way, hope Gege is doing fine now since he still released 178 this week albeit late. Thank you, Akutami-sensei. You're the best!! I was actually shocked by the way, esp. when I saw an article about his health declining... It's just so heartbreaking. Gege must be so worn out given the fact that this is updated weekly.

(i rate all of them five stars DON’T JUDGE ME)

how are they all so strong..like yuta and megumi..? um anyway five stars for that one panel where megumi’s drenched and holding up all that weight 😛 zoo wee mama

[Angie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yuta is the focal point of the Sendai Colony arc which is great timing as it coincides with the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie release. Such a badass character!

[Manvi · Rating 4 out of 5]

How long will this manga continue? I feel like the end is in the near future. Also, what if Itadori survives his execution and his sunshine personality dies and he starts resembling Nanami and Higuruma? My poor baby!

[MajesticalLion · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yuta, my boy. Come such a long way since JJK 0. And now, as a result of perfect coincidence, the release of his movie coincides with the release of his biggest arc in the manga. I'm so proud. 😭

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

YUTA>>> happy to see more of his cursed technique bc i feel like it never made sense until now

[library ghost (farheen) · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cannot WAIT for these fights to be animated.

[Jahni · Rating 5 out of 5]

damn yuta, you're the goat.

[Lashaan Balasingam · Rating 5 out of 5]

No way you're reading this without getting excited at the mere prospect of Yuta going up against Ryu Ishigori, Takako Uro, and the curse spirit Kurourushi (a goddamn cockroach devil!!). This was fun, thrilling, and action-packed to the teeth! It by far has some of the most awesome moments in the series so far, and without any silly moments to dilute it all. Awesome!

[✿ jessica ✿ · Rating 4 out of 5]

My boy Yuuta is simply THAT GUY. Idk what else to tell you.

[Blake the Book Eater · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally get more Yuta. But honestly this Culling Game arc feels like it’s already too long and it just started - it’s needlessly complicated and hurts my brain trying to understand fights

[Andrea · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ni Yuta salva esto.
