Demons. High school teenagers. Battle royales. If that sounds like the terminology of an annoyed parent, you could not be more wrong. The lanes of Bandra Kurla Complex might see a flood of anime fans dressed in their cosplaying best for a special screening tomorrow. The fans will be part of a big screen show of the popular anime series, Jujutsu Kaisen. Partnered with the entertainment platform, Crunchyroll, Comic Con India is hosting the session to mark the release of the latest season on July 6.

The manga series, illustrated by Gege Akutami, began in 2018 and has since acquired a cult-like popularity. The story of a high-school teenager, Yuji Itadori, who acquires special powers and is drawn into a subaltern world of demon slayers, has earned praise for its lore and action. It has also ranked in the top 20 of New York Times’ Graphic Novels and Manga Best Seller List in 2021.
