I found this title on Libby one evening when I could not sleep. 
“Jujutsu Kaisen, vol. 1” is the first installment of a manga series that follows Yuji Itadori. Yuji is just trying to make it through high school, unfortunately after he is exposed to a cursed object, and eats it, he becomes partly cursed himself. Now he has found himself recruited to a new school where he can help others keep people safe from these demonic beings, and hunt the rest of the cursed objects. 
This manga was fine. I did not fully know what it was about before I picked it up, but I was expecting it to be more academic focused than it was. This series seems to be much more focused on battle, which is fine, it is just not for me. 
I *might* continue in this series someday, but for now I am going to leave this series for others to enjoy.

I had no idea what to expect from this manga before picking it up, but one think I was definitely not expecting from was it being so humorous.

Hmm. Not nearly as compelling a series opener as its prequel [b:volume 0: Blinding Darkness|56474005|Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 0 Blinding Darkness|Gege Akutami|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1609285097l/56474005._SX50_.jpg|68693846], but the cliffhanger hooked me enough to read [b:volume 2: Fearsome Womb|50636892|Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 2 Fearsome Womb|Gege Akutami|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579812630l/50636892._SY75_.jpg|66954481].

It was fun but while reading I found some parts that reminded me of Naruto.
