Good ending. It's satisfying seeing Modulo espouse optimism, earnest communication, and trusting the youth to have the potential and ability to solve issues while the old support them and stay out of their way.

Definitely one of the better Shonen Jump sequel manga. Hopefully it gets animated eventually.
Dabura ended up as my favorite character. Such a good ending, too. |

Was not as big on Modulo as others, think the inclusion of Yuji was a mistake as it resulted in the last act and the resolution of the story completely burying our new leads. But Gege swung for the fences thematically and landed a few hits, which automatically makes it better than most anything post-Shibuya
And good for Kyoko and Dabura getting the last page |

Yeah. It felt that Gege wanted to show off his own Solo Levelling protagonist |

Yeah, Maru vs Tsurugi and Dabura vs Mahoraga were really poignant confrontations, but then Yuuji had to show up and overshadow the new characters because... hype and nostalgia, I guess?

Modulo's ending really shows that Gege has a lot of problems with his writing that he needs to iron out.
Even on a 3 volume miniseries where he has greater control of the story and isn't handling the art, the ending is still rushed and confusingly placed. Its really crazy how he tripped at the finished line again. |

Was not a fan of modulo introducing aliens...
Modulo does resolve the curse problem that everyone in JJK was trying to solve, but requiring an alien mcguffin to do it was not ideal. There were some very cool moments, but the race towards the end did feel rushed and confusing when reading chapters weekly, but it may flow better reading it by the volume, or when it inevitably gets an anime adaptation. Despite being a sequel, it still somehow made the resolutions of various characters from JJK's end somehow feel even more vague and incomplete... New characters don't get as much time to be developed, given the brevity of this series and it's big cast, and any excitement of seeing old characters or their mentions, isn't enough to be satisfying, save for Yuji, and spoiler[Mahito, and to a lesser extent, Nobara (but did she ever conclude her story with her childhood friends?)]. Of course we have the fact that Maki x Yuta is confirmed, but only an ever so slight hint that maybe spoiler[Megumi x Hana] hit it off... Overall, Modulo is a mixed bag, not bad, not good, just okay... I kind of would like a "Frieren" series with Yuji raising the last of a new gen of sorcerers while remeniscing about his Jujutsu High party's escapades post JJK. |

I had issues with the ending and Gege's writing again...but the art was spectacular from start to finish.
