2018, same year the manga started. No time machines or futuristic vibes here, just good old modern-day sorcery and chaos!

Honestly, it feels pretty current. But officially, it's 2018 – the manga's debut year.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 is kinda timeless, ya know? But if you’re looking for specifics, the story kicks off in 2018, matching the year the manga first appeared in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump. So, it's like watching the world get shaken up by curses and sorcerers in real-time!
Everyone's saying 2018, but does it really matter? The true essence of JJK is in the battles and the deep lore, not the calendar year it's set in. Plus, cursed spirits and sorcery are timeless.
