The much-awaited return of Jujutsu Kaisen is finally here!
After being on hiatus for more than a month, Gege Akutami returns this week with Chapter 153. The Culling Game continues as the story focuses back on Itadori and company.
To recap, Chapter 152 was the end of the Zenin family arc. Maki attempts to kill her mother. Naoya is heavily injured and crawling on the ground. Maki and Mai's mother arrives at where Naoya is and stabs him. They both die.
Maki walks out of the Zenin estate carrying Mai's body, where Momo shows up. She leaves Mai with Momo. That same day, the rest of the Zenin clan who were outside the estate all died. After a few days, the Kamo and Gojo clans told Jujutsu Headquarters that the Zenin clan should be removed from the big three families—but the final decision has been put on hold.
