Ask LuvemBooks about Gege Akutami

Gege Akutami is the manga artist behind Jujutsu Kaisen, the shonen series built around sorcerers battling curses, and LuvemBooks has reviewed 1 of their books so far. That review covers Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 30, the concluding volume of the series, which resolves the final confrontation between Yuji Itadori and the legendary demon Ryomen Sukuna — and it holds a 4.8/5 reader rating from 570 Amazon ratings. Akutami has worked in manga since 2014, citing Tite Kubo as an influence, and also created the prequel Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Where should I start?
The only Akutami book we've reviewed so far is Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 30, which is the concluding volume of the series — so it's better suited to readers already deep into the story than to newcomers. It carries a 4.8/5 reader rating from 570 Amazon ratings. New readers would be better served starting earlier in the series, though we haven't reviewed those volumes yet.
What's their writing style?
From the one volume we've reviewed, Akutami writes large-scale shonen action built around a climactic confrontation — in this case Yuji Itadori's final battle with Ryomen Sukuna — and commits to resolving key character fates rather than leaving threads open. Their background also shapes the work: Akutami learned to draw manga by mimicking a friend and cites Tite Kubo as an influence. We'd need to review more volumes to say more with confidence.
