Jujutsu Kaisen is currently in the Culling Game arc and fans are eagerly waiting for new chapters every week given how exciting the major events of the story have been lately. While fans are desperately waiting for new chapters, January is proving to be quite an obstacle as, every year, it is one month that halts nearly all manga in major ways. Towards the end of December and at the beginning of January, there’s always uncertainty as to when a particular chapter of the story will drop.
JJK is no different in this regard and quite a lot of the fans are already confused about when the story will return and with what chapter on what date. That is precisely why this article exists and it is here to make things easier for all the fans looking for the January 2024 schedule for JJK.
January’s First Official Chapter: Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247
Release Date – January 5, 2024
The very first official chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen for the year 2024 actually came out earlier today. This chapter, JJK chapter 247, is something that quite a lot of the fans might have already read. This is because the scanlations for the chapter dropped far too early towards the end of the month of December. Fans who already read this chapter or likely not going to be too interested in today’s chapter, however, it is always recommended to read the official version of the chapters as they are fully legal, and, at the same time, they support the author as well. Regardless of what version of the chapter fans ended up reading, JJK chapter 247 officially dropped today, which makes it the first chapter of 2024 for the story and it was certainly quite an interesting addition to the ongoing fight between Sukuna and all the others around him.
This chapter gave fans a proper glimpse at the finale of the incredible character that is Hiromi Higuruma. As fans know already, Hiromi Higuruma is likely going to die here, and that only means that the battle against Sukuna is likely going to be fought by Yuji now, who has been entrusted with the Executioner’s Sword. All these interesting and exciting events are going to be taking place in JJK chapter 248, which is something that fans will have to wait even more for. Unfortunately for the fans, there is going to be another break in the middle of January and that means more wait awaits them.
January’s Second Official Chapter: Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248
Release Date – January 21, 2024
JJK will, unfortunately, be going to be on another break after the official release of JJK chapter 247. This means that for those who read the previous chapter in December, there is going to be an even longer break which pans over 3 weeks. For the fans who waited for the official release and read the chapter earlier today, this chapter is going to follow the usual break schedule and that means it is going to drop in 2 weeks from now. Of course, the wait can prove to be difficult for the fans either way, however, for those who stuck with the official release, this is going to be significantly easier.
For the fans who read the unofficial version of the previous chapter before, they will have to go for almost a month without a JJK chapter and that can be quite difficult to go through. Regardless, either way, fans can be sure that the events of the upcoming chapter of JJK are going to be very interesting and that they are going to light up the story even more. Fans know already that JJK is now going to focus a lot on the fight between Sukuna and Yuji. The buildup for this fight has been incredibly exciting and, now that Yuji has been entrusted with everything that he needs to take down the sorcerer, it is time for him to step up, and prove all those who put their faith in him right.
While doing so, Yuji also needs to strengthen himself and JJK chapter 248 is going to be the first step in that direction. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait two more weeks before that chapter drops and the expected release date for JJK chapter 248 is January 21, 2024.
Of course, fans who read the scanlations will get access to the chapter a few days before, however, they should always support the official release, no matter what.
January’s Third Official Chapter: Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 249
Release Date – January 28, 2024
Unless Jujutsu Kaisen goes on a break, fans can expect a smooth schedule following the release of JJK chapter 248 and that only means that JJK chapter 259 is going to be released before the end of February, on January 28, 2024. This chapter will be the first one after a series of breaks in the story and will see to it that the Culling Game arc resumes for the fans. Of course, that is assuming that the author does not take any breaks on his own. With Gege, fans can never be sure as to when he will take a break. He has been taking a lot more breaks often, and fans will have to deal with it if he takes one.
However, it is highly unlikely that he will, given that the festive period and even the middle of January is filled with breaks already. Regardless of what the author decides to do, fans are going to be incredibly excited for JJK chapter 249. In many ways, this pushes the series closer to a milestone chapter for the series, as having 250 chapters in publication is not a small feat by any margin. JJK is incredibly popular and, for this chapter, the author might have some special plans and, hopefully, it will be an exciting read for all the fans.
Given that the fight between Yuji and Sukuna is just starting, fans can expect it to continue in this chapter and that only means that is going to be all the more intense. Perhaps, fans will see something exciting from Yuji, or Sukuna will be the one to pull out his full power. Regardless of what happens, one thing that fans can be absolutely certain about is that this chapter is going to be phenomenal, just as every other chapter has been lately in the story.
Of course, to get there, fans will have to endure two more weeks without any JJK content. This is especially harder for the fans now that the anime has wrapped up as well. However, they can be absolutely certain that this wait is going to be worth it. Furthermore, the recent accumulation of breaks can prove to be a blessing in disguise for the fans and this is simply down to the fact that JJK is officially ending this year if the author’s words are to be believed. These breaks can ensure that the story finishes a bit later and that certainly should be a silver lining for the fans.
Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248, is set to be January 21, 2024.
