The anime adapts manga by Gege Akutami, which was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump from 2018 to 2024. It was compiled into 30 volumes. VIZ Media licensed the series in English. A spin-off story, titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, recently began serialization.
Crunchyroll streams the anime outside Japan and describes the plot as follows:
Yuji Itadori eats a cursed finger to save a classmate, and now Ryomen Sukuna, a powerfully evil sorcerer known as the King of Curses, lives in Itadori’s soul. Curses are supernatural terrors created from negative human emotions. This cursed energy can be used as a power source by jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits alike.
