2024 is set to be one of the biggest years yet for the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, not least of which because it might be the series’ last year in active publication. As such, it’s imperative you know when new chapters are set to release, how to read them, and what they might contain.
Luckily, we’ve got all of the information you need to know down below, in our Jujutsu Kaisen 2024 chapter release date calendar.

More specifically: Raw and untranslated portions of the manga typically hit the internet around 6 a.m. EST on the Thursday of a given week.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 256 Release Date and Spoilers
With that settled, you can now dig into the spoilers that have released for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 256 via its raws and fan translation.
Though it’s still too early for there to be any concrete leaks for the next chapter, we can hazard a guess that things are once again set to swing in Sukuna’s favor. The fact that he was able to land a Black Flash means he now has a chance to recover via Reverse Cursed Technique, and that in turn means the heroes are once again on the back foot.
And yet, all doesn’t appear to be lost. Now that the remaining members of Geto’s faction are on their side, Yuji and Yuta have the opportunity to make another attempt to free Megumi from Sukuna’s control. All they have to do is get close enough for Yuji to land another hit. After that, he can try to talk some sense into his friend before the world is drawn into an even worse crisis.
There’s also the wild card of Mei’s younger brother to consider. If he has sucessfully rescued everyone who was injured by Sukuna, then there’s at least a chance that Gojo can recover and join the fray again in a superb act of Deus Ex Machina.
But then, this is all just our usual conjecture. We don’t know what is going to happen anymore than you do, and won’t until Jujutsu Kaisen 256 releases on Apr. 7.
Is Jujutsu Kaisen Ending in 2024? Explained
But then, there is the chance you’re more interested in finding out when the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen is slated to release, especially given rumors of it ending have once again sprouted up after comments made by its author Gege Akutami.
To cut right to the chase, we don’t know when Jujutsu Kaisen will end yet. The story still has some important plot threads to wrap up currently, and there hasn’t been any official announcement made by Akutami or Shonen Jump about the series’ conclusion approaching.
Likewise, the series continues to see new plot twists and comebacks via its main villain Sukuna. Just when it looks like he’s finally on the verge of defeat, he manages to turn the tides and survive his battles with the heroes. As such, it’s unclear when the series will enter its final few chapters.
If we had to guess though, we’d say the final chapter will hit sometime around the middle of the year. This would give ample time to tie up some loose ends in regards to the plot, while also ending the series well before the next Jump Festa (which Akutami said Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t likely to be a part of).
