Akutami worked on every part of it, and Shueisha billed it as a book made almost entirely of new information. It came out in Japan on 4 March 2021, the same day as volume 15, and VIZ Media's English translation followed in 2024. Both editions carry the cover Akutami drew for it: Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- otk-desc-specs --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otk-specs otk-specs--desc\" data-otk-specs
