Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 7

呪術廻戦 [Jujutsu Kaisen] #7

by Gege Akutami

In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna were lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural!

Despite the injuries and losses they suffered in an attack on the Goodwill Event, the students of Jujutsu High have little time rest as people start dying under mysterious circumstances. Could these strange deaths have anything to do with Sukuna's lost fingers?

I'M A SIMP FOR FUSHIGURO MEGUMI. I'M A BIG SIMP FOR FUSHIGURO MEGUMI.

Megumi, my lovess 🥺✋

[jut]

the baseball scene (is this a motherfucking twilight reference?)

[Jose]

Yuji and Nobara fighting together is so entertained. And then Megumi doing THAT alone???? My king

[Mar]

i believe in nobara kugisaki supremacy

[James DeSantis]

Goddamn here we fucking GO!

This is the best volume so far. With the original three on a mission together to take down some demons they each get a moment to shine. I never know I needed this team up so bad. Nobara has kind of been a side player but in this she gets to show what she's made of. Easily the best moments in this volume are thanks to her with some new moves that are both gross and amazing. On top of that we get our boy Megumi who finally steps out of the shadows of worrying about everyone and focuses on him, unleashing all hell on a demon. Then we have Yuji working together with Nobara facing off against two brother demons and it's perfection.

Overall, this is everything I want in a battle manga. GREAT fight scenes, wonderful bloody attacks, great dialogue, and good backstory. Give me more like this Jujutsu and I'll be sticking with you FOREVER.

A 5 out of 5.

first glimpse of choso, my oh my 😛😛

Fushiguro Megumi supremacy!!!

I was ecstatic to see our beloved trio back to their regular shenanigans, especially as they banded together to fight some awesome curses. Megumi has always been my favourite character, so getting a bit of his backstory this volume was really great! I also loved the buildup of tension as the antagonists furthered their plot against Gojo and Itadori. This was easily one of the best volumes so far!

i love my kids sm, gods

[laura]

when feral megumi gets animated its over for us

[Shawna Finnigan]

This volume holds a special place in my heart because of the baseball scenes, but the vast majority of the volume focuses on the cursed wombs, which are not my favorite. They are definitely an important setup for the rest of the series though.

“A Jujutsu Sorcerer’s growth never comes easy. With a firm base, skill and imagination a person can change thanks to the slightest of events.”

Another incredibly fun volume was delivered and thoroughly enjoyed.

I have gotta say, I'm really liking these fight scenes and powers. It looks really cool and ups my adrenaline levels a lot. They're intense and well thought and I feel on-edge all the time so I never know what's going to happen next or what to expect from them exactly.

One thing that makes them a little funnier is how they keep getting interrupted and disturbed by either memories or interviews or something happening off-battle which gives the whole thing a more upbeat and fun atmosphere than the overly serious it could have had. I like it.

The way this manga mixes action and jokes, I will not get tired of saying, is something that makes it all the more interesting and enrapturing.

Fushiguro, Kugisaki, and Itadori are just the perfect trio and any and all of their interactions make me really happy. Their friendship is just hilarious and also really, really sweet.

I would also like to say that the tiny, little pieces of plot that we are given are not enough for me to have any idea of what is really going on aside from having a very bad feeling about things and feeling really apprehensive.

“To die and then win, and dying victoriously are two completely different things. Give it your all. It’s okay to be selfish.”

Oh, nice! That dude just looks a little creepy.

Now more seriously, this was so fun and it also had some great quotes. I quite liked it.

RTC.

Uhhh, the mystery thickens as does the plot and I, for one, cannot wait to see where it all leads us.

One thing I'm sure of is that I cannot see the whole picture just yet and that has me very intrigued.

[clauu]

"I'm a loner. I wanna help a lot of people...so when I die, I'll be surrounded by a lot of people."

"You guys sure are strong. But, it's too bad...I'm a bad match...for you!"

"If there is only pain..Yuji...Itadori...will not stop!"

I STAN NOBARA, YUJI AND MEGUMI.

[bea ♡]

itadori, nobara and megumi SLAYED (literally) in this volume. i love to see it🥰

[Loni ♈⚜]

Nobara is just so badass, I love it!

[lane]

it was lowkey boring but i’m not bothered because this is my least favourite arc and i knew that

[kasper ִ ࣪𖤐 𖦹 ⋆ 🪐 ⊹]

choso showing up for 3 panels and then being the cover of this volume is honestly icon behavior (sidenote: i think i fell in love with nobara)

[Haylee (Lando’s Ver.) 🧡🏎️]

I just want a Satoru Gojo so bad 😭

[Daisy Mauricio]

This volume is so far, the best one. Megumi got a bit of a back story as well see what he's capable of and then we get to she Nobara and Yuji SHINE.

[Lucy (the invisible life of a reader)]

The first volume that I was able to rate 5 stars! It's not that the others were bad, they were amazing. Something was just missing for me in them.

[mery☆]

megumi really popped off in this one💅🏻
that 'nevermind' panel alone deserves a nobel prize or something
also nobara ♡♡♡

[Sarah (menace mode)]

my favorite thing about JJK is that Itadori’s ‘greatest weapon’ is just being an absolute UNIT

[Alexa (Alexa Loves Books)]

3.5 stars

[oscar⭒]

the first part about the baseball match? boring. the second part with the mostly-naked guy? creepy BUT at least it gave us the iconic Nobara fight scene.

[Percy]

Fake advertising bc why is Choso on the cover when he only appears for like two scenes and is facing away from us in both?

Also, I have to give credit to the manga over the anime, Kugisaki, in the scene on the bridge(?) I'm on my knees ●|￣|＿

[Patrícia]

it was the baseball scene really

[Štěpán]

After a few books, the aesthetics of a series are pretty clear. It is clear when someone is finding their style like Kishimoto in early Naruto, Tite in Bleach or Arawaka in FMA. Here, I do not think that it is so obvious. The art style is consistent and mainly the designs of the characters and curses. The curses are very creative and weird it is unsettling. The style reminds me of a lot of HxH, where everything is very squarish rather than curved. However, when Akutami wants to show the impact of a scene he shows it perfectly.

The star of this volume is not Itadori, but Megumi and daamn, it was needed! His character was intriguing since the beginning and his technique is awesome. I really enjoyed his flashback with Gojo as his growth had a great reason. I feel like had this book not finished the previous arc I would give this four stars but as it is, I have to give strong three.

[Mizuki]

Pre-review: after finishing the anime series season 1 and reading some fanfics, I think I'm in love with this series. LOL

Finally got my hands on this volume!

(1) Yuji and Nobara v.s. the Death Womb Painting Curse (that seems to be a bad translation, sorry!) Brothers! So exciting!

(2) Nobara Kugisaki is my Queen!

(3) The small amount of Sukuna's appearance is nice!

(4) I like the Gojo + Megumi's flashback, and what really happened to Tsumiki?!?!

(5) Impressive fight scenes YEAH!

(6) Can't wait to re-read the series again!

[hope]

Megumi is such a fantastic character, i love him so much 🥺 i can’t wait to see him come to his full potential as a sorcerer. he’s just going to become more and more powerful!! it scares me so bad how sukuna has such an interest in him. i just know i’m in for a real one coming in the future 😭💔

CHOSO IS HERE ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 one of my all time fav jjk characters. it’s so exciting see him again (in manga form instead of anime this time around) i missed him 😭

Yuji and Nobara team up, that’s some top tier shit right there.
