Jujutsu Kaisen manga series

Jujutsu Kaisen is a globally acclaimed Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami. Since its serialization began in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 2018, it has become one of the best-selling manga series of all time, spawning a massive media franchise including an anime series, films, and merchandise.

The creative origin of the brand is rooted in Japan under the publisher Shueisha. While the intellectual property is strictly managed by Japanese entities, the physical production of the books occurs worldwide. In English-speaking markets, North American media giant Viz Media handles the translation, publishing, and printing, whereas other international publishers manage local language editions in Europe and Asia.

The ultimate ownership of the franchise remains with Shueisha Inc., which is a private company based in Tokyo. Shueisha is a major player in the publishing industry and is part of the Hitotsubashi Group, one of Japan's largest publishing conglomerates. This structure ensures that while the brand has a massive global footprint, its creative and commercial control remains firmly in its country of origin.
