Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 3 by Gege Akutami

A secretly resurrected first-year sorcerer trains in secret to master his cursed energy as a sadistic new curse conducts grisly experiments on humans and manipulates a bullied teen. Teamed with a methodical grade 1 sorcerer to investigate a string of theater killings, he uncovers a plot by curses and their allies to neutralize the world’s strongest protector. As fragile bonds form and moral lines blur, the case pulls him toward the troubled teen and a looming clash with a soul-twisting adversary.
