After the super successful first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are going to get upset as the manga series of Jujutsu Kaisen is going on an "indefinite hiatus". It was announced on the official website of Weekly Shonen Jump and the official Twitter account of the magazine that "Jujutsu Kaisen" will be suspended for a while due to the poor physical condition of the writer, Gege Akutami.
Details
The wellbeing of manga creators has been a long-standing concern in the Manga Industry. The deadlines for every new chapter require the creators to work continuously for extended periods of time.
Although Akutami wanted to continue writing, it was announced that after discussions with the Jump editorial department, it was decided that it would be better to take a break for a certain period of time to recover his physical condition.
