I'm gonna be honest, I feel like I spaced out of Jujutsu Kaisen. Not that I don't like it, just that I have no idea what's happening. My brain is still back in Shibuya, and everytime I read a new chapter I'm like "How did we get here? Why are we here?" And the scariest part? I think that's exactly what Gege is going for. This feels like someone in a fight distracting their opponent with random noises and waving their arms so they're too confused to see the right hook coming. Something crazy is around the corner. I feel it.

Yuji acting like he doesn't know who Satoru Gojo is, is the definition of: Play dumb ... not that dumb.

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH NOBARA
IS SHE ALIVE IS SHE NOT??? GEGE PLZ STOP KEEPING ME THIS CONCERNED IT'S NOT GOOD FOR MY POOR HEART😭

After such a powerful arc (Shibuya), this volume is just confusing and all over the place… I’ve reread this volume several times and I still can’t seem to figure out wtf is going on?????? My mind can’t comprehend anything that’s happening rn and quite frankly I AM BORED

Violence isn’t always interesting.

i missed this world so much, and after 2 years i still love it as much as i did but ngl i'm a little bit confused

The Shibuya arc was pain. I expect the upcoming Culling Games to also be PAIN.

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid volume but much weaker than previous ones. It's basically setting up the Culling games. I did enjoy the fights and it had some funny moments, but felt more set up than pay off. So for that it's just good.

[saryn ⪩. .⪨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVED MEGUMI IN THIS VOLUME!!!!!! and i’m finally starting to understand the culling games a little better.
i liked all the new characters and look forward to learning more about them. kirara’s cursed technique was really interesting to read about, and i enjoyed finally seeing some of higuruma as well.

something else that i thought was interesting was kenjaku appearing to a bunch of people in their dreams, and even thanking one of yuji’s former classmates for getting along with him. as horrible as he is, he’s such a cool character.

[Carolina Búho · Rating 5 out of 5]

i love jjk, i love it so fucking much.
i adore akutami's art and sense of humor. i laughed olot reading this!! yuji is such a funny character and i love when he and megumi are together ;~;
i really enjoyed megumi's fight against kirara *u*
also, i love that hikari and kirara are... a couple?? i still don't know if kirara identifies as non-binary or not, but still, so great that akutami decided to introduce them.
and higuruma, my man <3

[Andrea · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este volumen se salva por dos páginas: en la que sale Kashimo preguntando por Sukuna y una donde Itadori hace un comentario sobre Sukuna. Es lo único interesante que ocurre y que da pie a imaginar futuras cosas. Lo demás, horrible. O sea, desde que empezó este nuevo arco ya no disfruto leyendo Jujutsu. Puede que una vez terminado este arco sea la hostia, pero ahora no (ni en los tres siguientes tomos).

[—lex♡ · Rating 3 out of 5]

¿Fue inusualmente aburrido o solo es mi percepción?
Solo interesada en que alguien ande buscando a Sukuna, alv-
Además, ¿cómo pueden darle una portada a este tipo insulso que acaba de aparecer y seguir ignorando a Toge? Quiero decir, sí, soy una esposa indignada.
No estoy segura de que me encante este arco, aunque amo a Megumi su hermana me vale, por lo que arriesgar la vida para salvar a la doñi solo me causa bostecitos. Igual a Yuuji le hubiese tocado participar, pero me lo imagino mucho mejor con Chouso. Me gusta más la dinámica de su relación y lo lindo que es Chouso siendo un hermano mayor que cualquier cosa que puedan aportar Kinji y Kirara que, al igual que Tsumiki, no me interesan en lo más mínimo.
