eclectika 's review for:
Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 2
by Gege Akutami
Huh.
I keep waiting for this series to get interesting, but 2 volumes in I'm still not feeling much of anything. Fights are pretty bland and unimpressive, as the art doesn't do a very good job of capturing a sense of momentum, and I *really* hate the mid-fight power exposition—JJK just isn't campy or cerebral enough to pull it off. Characters are meh (I dislike how tropey the side characters are), worldbuilding is uninteresting, and man I wish it could just choose if it wants to be silly or serious, because the awkward balance it's trying to strike here is just not working.
