lead=yes is a Japanese manga series written by Gege Akutami and illustrated by Yūji Iwasaki. It is a spin-off sequel to Akutami's manga series Jujutsu Kaisen. The series started in Shueisha's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump in September 2025. As of January 2026, one volume has been released.
The series takes place in a futuristic Tokyo, 68 years after the Culling Game events of Jujutsu Kaisen.

The central conflict shifts from traditional Cursed Spirits to the Simurians, an alien race that arrives on Earth possessing their own form of Cursed Energy.
Plot
The story takes place in 2086, 68 years after the Culling Games event featured in
Jujutsu Kaisen. An alien race known as the Simurians, with the ability to use Jujutsu Sorcery, has arrived on Earth in a spaceship, seeking a place to establish a home for their people. A Simurian representative named Marulu Val Vol Yelvori, or Maru for short, was sent to serve as a diplomat in the planet's Cursed Energy capital: Japan. For the purpose of his mission, the Japanese authorities allow Maru to partner with Jujutsu Sorcerers Tsurugi and Yuka Okkotsu—
Maki Zenin and
Yuta Okkotsu's grandchildren—in order to test the ability of the Simurians to coexist with humanity.
Production
Gege Akutami and manga artist Yūji Iwasaki started
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo series in
Weekly Shōnen Jump on September 8, 2025. Akutami stated that the manga will run for approximately half a year and be about three volumes long, "as long as it is not canceled".
Akutami was previously hesitant to approve spin-offs due to concerns about creative misalignment. However, Akutami considered the offerings a catalyst for expanding and exploring the world of
Jujutsu Kaisen further. This approach provided opportunities to enrich the main story's lore and explore different eras without conflict. This concept became the foundation for
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, which evolved from an initial abstract idea through extensive planning during the serialization meeting.
