It has been a long wait but Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178 will finally be dropped this week. A new leak reveals Gege Akutami's message in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump and the mangaka apologizes for the delay of the new chapter. In addition to that, Akutami is hyping up the climax of the Sendai Colony climax!
Fans were previously dismayed when it was announced that Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178 will not be published in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #15 due to Gege Akutami's health condition. After all, the previous chapter concluded on a cliffhanger and people were eager to learn what happens next. Luckily, we'll finally get to find out in the magazine's next issue that will be released this weekend.
The new issue of Weekly Shonen Jump also features a message from Gege Akutami. In his author's note, the mangaka apologizes for the delay but promises he is feeling much better and working a lot faster these days.
"I'm really sorry about last week. I'm working quickly. Hay fever had come promptly," Akutami wrote.
Fans were quick to react to the message, claiming that the mangaka didn't have to apologize for the delay. In addition to that, people are just glad that Akutami has recovered and is preparing for the next chapter.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178 is set to continue with Yuta Okkotsu's ongoing fight against Takako Uro and Ryu Ishigori. The preview for the chapter also teased that it will be the climax of the Sendai Colony arc but there's a good chance that the story arc is far from over. With that in mind, the new chapter is an exciting one and certainly something to look forward to this weekend.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178 will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #16, which will be available on Saturday, March 19, 2022.
