Shonen Jump has just confirmed that the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be taking a break due to creator Gege Akutami’s health.

Currently in its 151st chapter, the manga is set to take an indefinite break due to his "poor physical" health. A tweet was shown along with a handwritten letter from the artist apologizing for the inconvenience to its fans. Many fans have replied to the tweet sending positive messages, and were relieved to also learn that the hiatus is not due to a serious illness and that Akutami's mental health is "completely fine."
