Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 5 by Gege Akutami
4.0

This basically covers the rest of the fights against the students/classmates of the JuJu's.

I really liked the way each fight gave us some flashbacks to flushout all the characters. I mean it's a tactic animes/mangas like Yu Yu Hakusho and Naruto did, but it works here. It also relates to the fights so that helps a ton. I really got attached to characters I never much cared for before. Especially a freaking Panda...this series is weird but works so well.

Also, the humor is spot on here. So many great Lolz moments and the fight scenes get better and better. So easy to follow, look great, and plenty of them. The bad guys take a seat this round, though the last two pages let you know shit is about to get real.

Jujutsu Kaisen started decent but now it's getting really good. Love to see a manga improve volume by volume. Give me more. A 4 out of 5.
