Jujitsu Kaisen

Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen gained its popularity roughly around the same time and it’s easy to see why. Both the shows deal with (relatively) ordinary humans dealing with an overwhelmingly supernatural foes. Replace the demon’s from Demon slayer to curses in Jujitsu Kaisen and add in the dream boat that is Satoru Gojo and you’re good to go.
