- Many New MAPPA Projects Will Be Released In 2025

Weilin Zhang has announced his first step into the world of manga. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Weilin Zhang announced that he is working on an indie manga. It is titled ‘I’ll of You,’ and it will be released in either February or March 2025. He also revealed that Clair is the name of the protagonist.

Jujutsu Kaisen Has Grown A Lot In Popularity

Todo and Yuji prepare to battle each other while a montage of imaginary memories of their friendship play behind them in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular anime series in the world. It is based on the manga of the same name written by Gege Akutami. While the manga was famous before the anime’s debut, its popularity reached new heights when the anime began streaming. Jujutsu Kaisen started serialization in the Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, and it came to an end in 2024. The manga has sold more than 100 million copies, making it one of the best-selling of all time.

Jujutsu Kaisen released its first season in 2020, and it became an instant hit with the audience. The second season was released in 2023, and it covered the Hidden Inventory and the Shibuya incident arcs.

Many New MAPPA Projects Will Be Released In 2025

MAPPA has confirmed that the next installment is in development, and it will adapt the Culling Game arc. At the Jump Festa 2025, a compilation film was announced. It will adapt the Hidden Inventory arc, and it will be released in May 2025. The release date for the Culling Game arc has not been revealed, implying it is still far from release. Fans will be hoping that Weilin Zhang will be part of the third season.

This makes sense, as MAPPA is currently working on several projects, and it wouldn’t want to ruin any of them. The first big release is Zenshu, an anime about anime production. The premise is certainly promising and different from most anime, so there is a good chance for it to become a major hit. The studio will also release Chainsaw Man: The Movie— Reze Arc in 2025. The changes will be kept to a minimum, so most of the staff from the anime will reprise their roles for the movie.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
