Within the anime and manga industry, the one thing that speaks about the success and achievement of the work is the fanbase of the said project. And in the case ofJujutsu Kaisen’sfanbase, Gege Akutami was dealt a very bad hand. The series needs no introduction, as it has been at the top of its game for the last seven years, and the manga recently saw its conclusion.
WhileJujutsu Kaisenwas one of the greatest stories of all time, the fans it collected over the journey were not as good as the creators had hoped for. In fact, theJujutsu Kaisenfandom falls under the tag of one of the worst anime fanbases in the world. From obsessing over a character to spoiling the narrative,Jujutsu Kaisenfans are known for the worst.
This toxicity of the fanbase has finally fired back as Akutami recently shared a special message where they talked about their feelings towards their magnum opus. They also explained how they started hating their own work and had to complete theJujutsu Kaisenstory just for the sake of it.
Gege Akutami’s heartfelt message aboutJujutsu Kaisen
As theJujutsu Kaisenmanga has finally concluded, the last two volumes (29 and 30) are scheduled to be released together on August 03, 2025. Within the finalJujutsu Kaisenvolume, Akutami has placed a special message for the fans about their experience with the story and how the collaboration of everyone working on the series helped in its success.

The message also explained howGege Akutamifelt absentminded only after three years of working onJujutsu Kaisen.The mangaka also explained how they troubled their editors and caused them to stress with the different ideas and execution. They also pointed out that it is the combined effort of everyone that helped in the completion ofJujutsu Kaisen.
The manga creator pointed out that they will collect all the lessons they learned through the seven-year journey ofJujutsu Kaisenand will try to overcome the problems they faced throughout this journey.

And while Akutami did not confirm any future projects, they thanked the fans and everyone else who was associated with the series in any way.
Jujutsu Kaisenfans get a harsh reality check
While the message by Akutami aboutJujutsu Kaisenand its journey was truly heartfelt, it had a feeling of the mangaka hating their own story. They specifically mentioned that they felt “absentminded” only after three years of working onJujutsu Kaisen. Andthe toxicity of the fanbasemight be one of the biggest reasons behind it all.
Since the beginning of the series, fans have targeted Akutami for almost every aspect of the series.
I’m genuinely so sad, he’s just a person and went through so much all while people complained and insulted him. We now have confirmation that he’s chronically online so he definitely saw things that didn’t help his state of mind and health. I hope the best for himhttps://t.co/knsTJTSDvC
The biggest example of this isthe death of Gojo Satoru.Death was a normal aspect ofJujutsu Kaisen, considering the dark element of the series. However, when it came to the fan-favorite character, his admirers launched verbal attacks towards the mangaka.

He was brutally trolled and abused by theJujutsu Kaisenfans, and that’s not even the half of it. Even the delays and short hiatuses that the story took led to fans criticizing Akutami and pressuring him into releasing more chapters. Thus, it makes sense for the manga creator to feel disparaged towards their own work.
Jujutsu Kaisenmanga is available to read on Viz Media.
