The Jujutsu Kaisen Final Exhibition, built around the work of creator Gege Akutami, is set to run from Dec. 25, 2026 to Jan. 25, 2027 at the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building Triangle Square in Tokyo, according to CBR. The announcement dates from around three weeks ago, with a further update following more recently.
It is a late-year showcase for a manga that has already concluded, and the dates place it squarely over the Christmas and New Year period.
What the Shinjuku exhibition will show
The headline draw is material fans have not seen before. Oricon's announcement teased previously unrevealed items from Vols.
28-30, including never-before-seen storyboards, drafts and background designs, as relayed by CBR.
Those three volumes cover the series' endgame. Tokyo Cheapo notes that the Shinjuku stop expands the section on the Shinjuku Showdown against Ryōmen Sukuna, with Q&A-style commentary from Akutami.
A newer CBR report revealed a new exhibition area named after the series' Domain Expansion ability, plus a first look at venue merchandise and storyboards. Anime Art Magazine separately lists a new area tied to the spin-off and an official catalogue, and places the event at Sankaku Hiroba (Triangle Plaza) in the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building.
Why a manga's final stretch gets its own exhibition
Exhibitions of original manga art are an established way for Japanese publishers and creators to mark a series' completion, and they tend to prize the process behind the page. Storyboards (the rough layouts, known in Japanese as nēmu) and background designs reveal how a climactic sequence was planned long before the finished panels reached readers.
For a battle as sprawling as the Sukuna showdown, seeing the drafts alongside creator commentary is the sort of context the printed volumes cannot offer. That is the angle the organisers appear to be leaning on, given the focus on Akutami's own remarks.
Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 30 and its English-language arrival
Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 30 is the concluding volume of Akutami's shonen series, delivering the final confrontation between Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna. It was released in Japan on Dec. 25, 2024, and VIZ Media published the English translation on May 12, 2026, per CBR.
The exhibition's opening date, Dec. 25, 2026, falls exactly two years after the Japanese release of the finale. Whether that is deliberate has not been stated in the sources we have seen.
