KEY POINTS

  • Itadori and Megumi meet Hakari
  • The new chapter is likely to introduce Hakari's girlfriend
  • "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 153 will release Sunday

After the hiatus, Gege Akutami is returning with a new chapter, bringing the focus back on the Culling Game. The early leaks and spoilers for "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 153 are out teasing Yuji Itadori's attempts to get Hakari on their side.

Twitter user Ducky has shared the latest spoilers and leaks for the upcoming chapter, which is reportedly titled "Gambling Match."

The spoilers of "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 153 suggest it will focus on Itadori's route. Itadori and his team arrive at an underground martial arts competition. At the competition, they will meet Hakari and try to convince the third-year suspended student to join their team.

Not just Itadori, but Panda too is looking for Hakari. However, Hakari could sense it and tries to avoid them.

Later, in "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 153, Itadori is able to participate in the underground martial arts tournament. Megumi tries to join too, but Hakari only allows Itadori.

Megumi feels Hakari doesn't want to get involved because of his past experience at the Jujutsu High School. It appears Hakari is still upset about his suspension from the school.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 153 also introduces a new third-year student, named Kirara, who is Hakari's girlfriend. The chapter is likely 19 pages long and at end of the chapter, Akutami thanks his readers for all the support.

After the conclusion of the Zenin Clan Arc, Akutami and the Weekly Shonen Jump Editorial department decided to take a break. The manga creator said in a statement he will rest for a while but assured the readers that he was not suffering from any serious illness.

"I want to reassure everyone that I am not suffering from any kind of serious illness and my mental state is strong. I do apologize for the long wait. When I return, I will treat it as the start of a new series and do my very best," Akutami said in a statement in June.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 153 is scheduled to release this Sunday. The digital version of the chapter will be out on Viz and Manga Plus. The print version will hit the stands Monday.
