A large-scale exhibition, "Gege Akutami's "Jujutsu Kaisen'''', which reveals the "secret story behind the creation'' of the manga "Jujutsu Kaisen'', will be held at "Hikarie Hall'' in Shibuya Hikarie from July 6th to August 27th. . As general ticket sales for the first half of the year are scheduled to begin on May 18th, information on the exhibition area and original goods from the official shop has arrived. In addition, original commemorative stickers for visitors were also revealed.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" is a dark fantasy by Gege Akutami that has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" since 2018. The story begins when the seal of a powerful "curse" is broken, and high school student Yuji Kojo steps into a world of battles that revolve around curses. The total number of copies of the 26 comics published, including the digital version, has exceeded 90 million copies.
It has also been made into an anime, and the first season was broadcast from October 2020 to March 2021. The movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0'' released in December 2021 was a huge hit with cumulative worldwide box office revenue of 26.5 billion yen, causing a huge movement. In addition, the second season, which aired from July 2023, received favorable reviews for its overwhelming quality. It has also been decided that the third season, "Death Kaiyu'', will be produced.

The "Akutami Gege Jujutsu Kaisen'' exhibition is an exhibition that shows the creative process of this work using digital methods, along with explanations from the creator. How are stories, characters, and illustration works created, evolved, and built to new heights? A highlight is the generous display of valuable names and drafts before they become final manuscripts.

The exhibition area has now been revealed. "Region No. 1: Prototypes & Names" will generously display valuable names and drafts before the final manuscript is created. In addition, some of the names of the prequel series "Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu College'' that connects to "Jujutsu Kaisen'' will also be revealed. In "Realm No. 2: Digital Animation Method,'' we will provide an easy-to-understand introduction and explanation of the detailed creative process of "Jujutsu Kaisen,'' which is unique to digital animation, from conception to drawing, working together with assistants, and more.

"Real Encyclopedia: Complete Commentary on Serial Manuscripts'' provides an in-depth explanation of the creation of the work, including characters, settings, stories, etc., including names, drafts, and background images. It seems that new information and comments from Akutami will also appear here.
