Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1: Here's Where You Can Stream Or Rent The Anime
(Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, "Hey, where can I watch this thing?" In this edition: "Jujutsu Kaisen.")
"Jujutsu Kaisen" is arguably one of the most popular manga and anime out there. The story follows the travails of Yuji Itadori, a high school student whose extracurricular activities include joining a group of sorcerers to vanquish a powerful curse.
The manga, which has more than 100 chapters, got a screen adaptation in 2020. Here's the show's official synopsis:
Itadori Yuuji is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Gojou Satoru, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School, an organization that fights the curses ... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcise a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
