If you’ve finished Jujutsu Kaisen season 3’s The Culling Game Part 1, continue with manga chapter 181. If you’ve watched only through season 2, start at chapter 138 instead. The right starting point depends on the last anime part you completed, so check the season guide below before you open the manga.

  • Finished season 3, The Culling Game Part 1: start at chapter 181. A current chapter-mapping guide places season 3’s adaptation at chapters 138–180, making chapter 181 the continuation point.
  • Finished season 2, Shibuya Incident: start at chapter 138. Season 2’s material ends at chapter 137; VIZ’s chapter listing identifies chapter 138 as the next chapter.

As of November 12, 2026, season 3 Part 1 is the latest completed anime part covered by these recommendations. The official anime site announced that episode 59—season 3 episode 12, “Sendai Colony”—would air as the Part 1 finale on March 26, 2026. On June 19, 2026, the site identified The Culling Game Part 2 as season 4. That next anime part is not included in either chapter recommendation above; if you watch it, check for an updated adaptation boundary before choosing a manga starting point.

The chapter 181 boundary comes from a secondary adaptation guide, rather than a chapter-by-chapter map published by the anime’s official site. Treat it as a practical continuation point, not an official statement that every panel or scene through chapter 180 appears in the anime.

Why does the answer depend on which season I watched?

The anime has reached different points in the manga in different parts, so “after the anime” is not one fixed chapter number. Season 2 viewers and viewers who have also completed season 3 Part 1 need different starting chapters. The useful question is not simply “Which season did I watch?” but “What was the last completed anime part?”

For season 2, VIZ’s listing places chapter 137 immediately before chapter 138. That makes 138 the straightforward place to continue without restarting the manga. For season 3 Part 1, the adaptation guide gives a range of chapters 138–180, so chapter 181 is the next chapter to read. The two recommendations are alternatives for different stopping points, not two chapters to read in sequence before continuing.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

If you are unsure whether you completed the newest part, check the episode count and title rather than relying on a general “season 3” label. The official announcement identifies episode 59 as season 3 episode 12 and names “Sendai Colony” as the Part 1 finale. The later official announcement calls the continuation The Culling Game Part 2 and labels it season 4. Those details help distinguish the completed Part 1 from the next anime installment.

In practical terms, a season 2 viewer who starts at 138 is not skipping the manga material adapted in season 3 Part 1; that viewer is continuing just after season 2. Someone who has watched through Part 1 and starts at 138 instead will return to chapters already covered by that part. Conversely, beginning at 181 after season 2 alone would jump past the intervening manga chapters. Match the chapter to the last part you actually watched.

Should I read from chapter 1 instead?

You do not need to begin at chapter 1 just to continue the story: chapters 138 and 181 are the practical handoff points for the two viewing milestones covered here. Starting earlier is an optional refresher if you want the manga’s full presentation, rather than a requirement implied by these chapter boundaries.

For the quickest route, use the matching continuation chapter. If you have not watched season 3 Part 1, do not jump to 181 based only on the current anime season number; use chapter 138 if season 2 is where you stopped. Conversely, chapter 138 would take a season 3 Part 1 viewer back into material already covered by that anime part.

If your goal is a seamless refresher rather than the fewest repeated pages, you can choose an earlier chapter or reread a section before the recommended handoff. The sources cited here establish continuation points, not a personalized recap point or a claim that the manga and anime present every moment identically. There is no need to guess at a different chapter because you prefer a recap: use 138 or 181 as the clear handoff, then read earlier only if you want to revisit the story.

Where can I read the continuation?

You can choose an official digital route or a print volume. The format affects how you access the story, but it does not change the chapter number to start with.

  • Digital: VIZ’s chapter list for Jujutsu Kaisen points readers to MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA for the latest free chapters available in their location, and provides a route to the whole series. Chapter availability can vary by location, so check the listing where you live.
  • Print: VIZ lists Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 21 as a paperback and describes it as Culling Game material. It is a relevant physical option for readers continuing around the season 3 handoff, but check the contents of the particular edition before treating it as an exact chapter-to-volume match. The cited product listing does not establish a precise chapter range for every edition.

If you’re choosing a volume because you want to begin at a specific chapter, verify its contents first. A volume is a physical unit containing multiple chapters, while the chapter numbers above are the more precise way to locate the continuation. The volume description can help you identify relevant Culling Game material, but it is not a substitute for confirming the first chapter included in the edition you intend to buy.

If you prefer to read a chapter immediately, the digital chapter list is the more direct way to look up a chapter number. If you prefer a paperback, use the VIZ listing to identify the product, then confirm the contents of that edition. The available product information does not give a price comparison, so check the retailer or service where you plan to read rather than assuming the formats cost the same. No particular subscription or purchase price is needed to determine the correct starting chapter.

How can I avoid starting at the wrong point?

Match your stopping point to the anime part, then confirm the chapter in an official listing or the edition you plan to read. A season number by itself can be ambiguous when a story arc is split into parts. Use this quick check before you start:

  1. Identify your last completed anime part. If it was season 3’s The Culling Game Part 1, use chapter 181. If it was season 2, use chapter 138.
  2. Use the finale as a cross-check. Episode 59, season 3 episode 12, “Sendai Colony,” was announced as the Part 1 finale. If that is the latest anime episode you have completed, the season 3 recommendation applies.
  3. Check the chapter number before you buy or open a volume. Chapter listings are more exact than an arc label or volume description. A volume may collect several chapters, so confirm its contents if you need a precise handoff.
  4. Confirm digital access in your region. VIZ says the latest free chapters available through MANGA Plus depend on location. Check the local listing before assuming a particular chapter is free or available.
  5. For print, verify the selected edition’s contents. VIZ describes volume 21 as Culling Game material, but that description alone does not confirm an exact chapter boundary.

These steps prevent the two common mismatches: going back to chapter 138 after already watching the season 3 material through chapter 180, or jumping ahead to chapter 181 when you have only finished season 2. They also separate two different questions: which chapter continues the story, and which product or service lets you read that chapter.

What is confirmed, and what is an adaptation guide’s estimate?

The official anime announcements confirm the season 3 Part 1 finale and identify The Culling Game Part 2 as season 4. The finale announcement, dated March 19, 2026, says episode 59, season 3 episode 12, “Sendai Colony,” would air on March 26 as the finale. The June 19, 2026 announcement identifies the next part as season 4. Neither cited announcement provides a chapter-by-chapter adaptation map.

The exact chapter range used for the chapter 181 recommendation comes from a current secondary guide, which places season 3 Part 1 across chapters 138–180. That guide supports using 181 as a practical next chapter, but it is not an official chapter map. The chapter 138 recommendation has a different basis: VIZ lists chapter 138 immediately after chapter 137, the season 2 endpoint in the mapping used here.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

That distinction matters if you are seeking a perfectly seamless transition. Adaptations can arrange or compress material differently, and the cited official announcements do not certify that the anime reproduces every manga page up to a particular chapter. Chapter 181 is the best-supported practical continuation point for viewers who finished Part 1, while chapter 138 is supported by the publisher’s chapter listing as the next chapter after 137. Neither recommendation should be mistaken for a guarantee that every scene will line up page for page.

These recommendations reflect the completed anime parts and announcements available as of November 12, 2026. Recheck the boundary after season 4 airs, since its adaptation could move the anime’s endpoint further into the manga. Until then, the decision is simple: chapter 181 after season 3 Part 1, or chapter 138 after season 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does season 3 episode 12 finish The Culling Game Part 1?

Yes. The official anime site identified episode 59, season 3 episode 12, “Sendai Colony,” as the Part 1 finale, scheduled to air March 26, 2026. The next part is announced as season 4.

Where should I start if I finished season 2 but not season 3?

Start at chapter 138. Season 2’s manga endpoint is chapter 137, and VIZ lists chapter 138 as the next chapter.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Where should I start if I watched The Culling Game Part 1?

Start at chapter 181. A current adaptation guide places season 3 Part 1 across chapters 138–180; the anime’s official announcements confirm the finale but do not publish that chapter map.

Can I get Jujutsu Kaisen chapters free online?

VIZ directs readers to MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA for the latest free chapters available in their location. The chapters available at no cost may differ by region, so check the service’s listing where you are.

Is the exact chapter 181 handoff confirmed by the anime’s official site?

No chapter-by-chapter adaptation boundary appears in the cited official announcements. Chapter 181 follows the 138–180 range given by a current secondary guide, so it is a practical continuation point rather than an official chapter map.

The Bottom Line

Bottom line: Continue at chapter 181 if you finished season 3’s The Culling Game Part 1; use chapter 138 if season 2 is where you stopped. For digital reading, check VIZ’s chapter list and local MANGA Plus availability. For print, VIZ lists volume 21 as Culling Game material, but verify the edition’s contents before relying on it as an exact chapter match.
