Fans Show Concern Over Gege Akutami’s Health
As the news hit the social media platform X(Formerly Twitter) fans started expressing their concerns regarding the health of the mangaka. Fans have stated that Akutami’s health matters the most and they should take a break if they are unwell.
This has happened once in the past during the Maki’s Zenin arc when they were unwell and rushed the story. After that, I had to take a hiatus for one month. While some fans genuinely believe that Akutami might not be well, some stated that Akutami’s health always deteriorates when they have to draw Maki’s panels.

who do we sacrifice for his well being?

I think he should take a month break again. If he overworks himself in this condition than at some point he’ll be forced to rush things even more. If its for his health than he should take a break.https://t.co/b8OIfkvEBT

Overworking is a serious condition with manga creators as they forget to care about their health and focus on their work. It has been seen many times in the past with many mangakas who had to take a hiatus from their work to take care of their health and if Akutami is suffering from a similar condition, they need to take a break and come back with better health to complete theJujutsu Kaisenstory as it’s at one of the most interesting arcs right now.
You can watchJujutsu Kaisenon Crunchyroll and read the manga on Viz Media.
