Gege Akutami jolts the manga world with Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, a sequel landing just months after Jujutsu Kaisen ended in August 2024—delivering the comeback fans were hungry for.

Gege Akutami did not waste any time. After wrapping Jujutsu Kaisen in August 2024, they slid right back in with Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, a follow-up that keeps the universe alive but shifts the lens. Six chapters are already out, hype is predictably high, and the next drop is locked for Sunday. Here is the what, when, who, and where on Modulo so you can keep up without digging through schedules and app listings.

So, what is Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo?

Think of it as a continuation set way down the timeline rather than a direct handoff. Modulo takes place 68 years after the Culling Game and stays in the same curse-riddled world, just with a very different threat profile: an alien race called the Simurians shows up in a spaceship, and they are not just tourists.

Two new leads carry the human side of the story: Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, descendants of Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin. They are the main protagonists. The wild card is Maru, a Simurian with a nasty Domain Expansion who is essentially on a reconnaissance mission to figure out if humanity is worth coexisting with. Also, longtime readers get a nod to the original series with a proper heir-apparent to Gojo woven in. It is a clean bridge to the legacy without feeling like a retread.

Who is making it?

Akutami is writing, and Yuji Iwasaki is handling the art. That team-up alone makes Modulo feel like a deliberate new phase for the franchise. The series launched in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 41 on September 8, 2025, with the first chapter going live digitally a day earlier on September 7. Different day, same rollout strategy you are used to.

Chapter 7 release date and times

Chapter 7 lands on Sunday, October 19, 2025 (Monday in Japan). If you saw a schedule listing October 12 for the UK, that was a typo. Here is when it hits by region:

  • Pacific Time (PT): Sunday, Oct 19, 2025 – 8:00 AM
  • Central Time (CT): Sunday, Oct 19, 2025 – 10:00 AM
  • Eastern Time (ET): Sunday, Oct 19, 2025 – 11:00 AM
  • British Summer Time (BST): Sunday, Oct 19, 2025 – 4:00 PM
  • Central European Summer Time (CEST): Sunday, Oct 19, 2025 – 5:00 PM
  • Japan Standard Time (JST): Monday, Oct 20, 2025 – 12:00 AM (midnight)

Modulo is running weekly with new chapters on Sundays, but exact clocks shift by your time zone. The plan is to keep publishing through February 2026, so there is a lot of runway ahead.

Where to read it

Chapters drop simultaneously on Viz Media, Shonen Jump+, and Manga Plus by Shueisha. As of now, you can read Modulo for free on Viz, but that could move behind the standard $2.99/month membership later. Pick your platform, the content is the same across the board.

Bottom line

Modulo has the weight of a modern juggernaut on its back and seems comfortable carrying it. New era, new creative pairing, aliens with Domains, and a respectful tip of the hat to the core JJK mythos. Early response is strong; now we see if it can climb to the same altitude as the original.
