After a long reign at the top, Jujutsu Kaisen has slipped to second place. Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man took the number one spot with the release of chapter 168. This shift comes amid recent turmoil for Jujutsu Kaisen, including a divisive story arc and a brief hiatus. Chainsaw Man, on the other hand, has seen a sudden surge in popularity, especially after a controversial development in the story that remains a hotly debated topic.
Jujutsu Kaisen was defeated by Chainsaw Man
Gege Akutami’s critically acclaimed series, Jujutsu Kaisen, with its huge global fan base, has long surpassed even champion One Piece. However, it suffered a sudden setback due to the author’s illness. The latest ‘Hottest’ ranking on the Manga Plus website surprised everyone, showing Jujutsu Kaisen falling down. Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man moved ahead with around 600,000 hits from chapters 167 and 168. In contrast, Jujutsu Kaisen and Kishimoto’s Boruto are now in second and third place with around 420,000 and 380,000 hits.

Why is there a brake on Jujustu Kaisen?
The series, already facing criticism in Japan after the controversial body-switching twist in chapter 261, has been axed. Chapter 261 hints at Gojo’s return, but instead delivers a shocking twist: Yuta takes over Gojo’s body using Okkotsu Kenjaku’s technique. This controversial scenario divided fans, as it seemed to turn Yuta’s selflessness into something disturbing. A short break after this shocking twist only added to the disappointment when chapter 262 came out and was surprisingly brief. Author Gege Akutami has revealed that he is battling an unknown illness, which explains the unexpected changes and gaps in the story.

JJK’s hiatus paved the way for the shocking rise of Chainsaw Man
The recent hiatus of Jujutsu Kaisen has opened up a surprising opportunity for Chainsaw Man to reach the pinnacle. Still, Chainsaw Man’s rise has been fraught with debate. The most recent installments featured a non-consensual encounter between Denji and Asa Mitaka, in which Yoru takes advantage of Denji through Asa, sparking outrage among some fans. However, some fans, who are accustomed to Chainsaw Man’s gritty content, consider this to be normal. Now, chapter 168 muddies the waters further without readers being sure if these events were real. Despite the debate, the manga remains one of the most discussed topics and fans are very interested in the developments.
