Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1: What to Expect from the First Volume

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 is the much-anticipated sequel to the Jujutsu world by creator Gege Akutami. After the end of the original Jujutsu Kaisen series in late 2024, the new sequel was announced, featuring the grandchildren of Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin and a mysterious alien power. Yuji Iwasaki will illustrate the spin-off, and it will appear in Weekly Shonen Jump of Shueisha. With the print volume release still awaited all over the world, the digital edition is already ongoing with weekly issues in MangaPlus and VIZ.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 will be released once the first dozen chapters are serialised. Although the print volume release has not been publicly announced in Japan, industry sources state that it will be released in early 2026 and will put together the first 810 chapters of the saga. This means that the readers can access the story at once through the digital platforms, and formal volume consolidation will follow.

Digital version of the first chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo was released on September 8, 2025 (Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 41). Akutami wrote the series, which was illustrated by Iwasaki, in the form of a compact series that was intended to run about six months and in about three volumes. This framework will put Volume 1 as a base entry, which sets the initial setup, character introductions, and significant world-building scenes.

Several chapters were released, including Chapter 1 (54 pages) and Chapter 2 (released on September 14), and other weekly chapters up till the fall. It is anticipated that at least eight chapters will be ready in enough time to be in Volume 1, between December 2025 and January 2026. As Akutami has a guideline of about three volumes, it is possible to estimate between 8 and 10 chapters per volume. In this way, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 probably includes Chapters 1-9 or so.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 - Release & Coverage Breakdown

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 will include the first part of the series, based on the Okkotsu siblings - Yuka and Tsurugi-discovering their history as they deal with the invasion of the alien Simurian race. Key plot points that are expected to be covered in this first volume are:

• The first scene occurs in the year 2086, where an alien spaceship of about 50,000 Simurian aliens is flying above Earth.
• The revelation of the duties and inner contradictions of Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, who are the grandchildren of Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin.
• The character of Maru (Marulu Val Vol Yelvori) is introduced, a Simurian agent who is investigating the fate of missing people, the limits of cursed energy.
• Initial mission plots that included child kidnappings, cursed-tool traps, and the verification of the role of the Simurians in the sorcerer activity on earth.

These plot lines will most probably form the major part of the chapters of Volume 1. With the small three-volume format, the initial volume is aimed at laying the groundwork, predetermining the extent of the second volume instead of offering an out-and-out conflict resolution.

Presumably, the print edition of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 will contain some bonus material, perhaps colour pages, early character sketches by Iwasaki, and editorial commentary by Akutami, as Shueisha does with major franchise books. Once Japanese release and translation plans are cleared, English-print editions of VIZ Media will be available to international readers.

To sum up, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 1 is the key to the next step of the Jujutsu universe. Its first few chapters have already been released online, and the print version is expected soon, so the volume is bound to provide world-building, character tension, and Aliens-meets-cursed-energy suspense. The continuity and expansion will be appreciated by the fans of the original series, and the new readers will have access to a self-sufficient but abundant story. Watch out for the actual release date and pre-order announcements - this will be a significant milestone in the global launch of this spin-off.
