First, one must consider that it's a weekly published shounen manga with its stereotypical flaws and pitfalls, and readers should expect that they exists here as well.

Considering that, Jujutsu Kaisen is overall a very engaging story, with great characters, great consistent themes and a fun power system.

The characters are very engaging with good narratives and arcs. But most of all, I love how so many characters parallel, mirror and contrast each other, giving each other more depth and showcasing the circle of violence, isolation and negativity that the new gen has to break.

The themes are very consistent throughout with good conclusions and are very enjoyable, ... like connection and love vs isolation, or perseverence through dark times vs getting lost in the past.

Of course it has flaws. There are some pacing/sequencing issues, some set ups and plot points are dropped, some ass puls or a lack of foreshadowing for certain events exist, and the ending is very rushed. Because it's rushed the last 5 chaptes have a weird pacing and often seem more like cliffnotes which makes it lackluster, but it ties off the themes in a satisfying manner. (Many of those same issues can be found in other weekly published shounen manga. As I said: expected flaws).

But still, despite it's flaws overall it's a fun and enjoyable manga.
