STORY AND ART BY GEGE AKUTAMI

 wou
~ KAISEN-
CAS Tor ae
eas baa eeHERS

—CURSE-
Hardship, regret, shame... The misery
that comes from these negative human
emotions can lead humans to death.

Itadori allows Ryomen Sukuna to possess his

body in order to complete a perilous mission.
However, after emerging victorious, Itadori
finds himself unable to take his body back.
Sukuna holds the body hostage and tricks
Itadori into a one-sided contract. After Itadori
regains control, he trains under Satoru Gojo,
but has no recollection of making any deal
with Sukuna.

Meanwhile, Fushiguro and Kugisaki start

training for the upcoming Goodwill Event
against Jujutsu High’s Kyoto campus.
But they’re soon interrupted by a couple of
Kyoto students looking to stir up some
trouble before the competition.

* It goes without saying, but many shonen manga readers are in
elementary or junior high school. | wanted to address this topic now
because | don’t want to limit what the characters in the manga say.
* With the appearance of Kyoto High, there'll be many instances of smack
talk coming up. (| apologize to everyone from Kyoto for portraying them as
sort of the bad guys.)

¢ | intended this to be more of a don't-do-this-stuff-at-home kinda

deal. You Know what I’m saying. Have you ever read something mean in a
manga and done it to others in real life?

* It's possible to be scarred for life after being verbally abused

while in a vulnerable state.
* But in Jujutsu, when fighting, the characters are trying to damage
both their opponents’ bodies and spirits. In that case, they wouldn't be
thinking about the repercussions of what they say, would they?
* So don't you dare say anything mean to a girl in your class, especially
about her pores, oKay?
¢ I'm fine if you read Jujutsu and think it’s boring and don't \ike it.
But it'll make me sad if someone who hasn't even read it hates it because
of the language...

* {'m sounding really virtuous, but ('m also guilty of saying bad things.
| don't really have a right to preach. Just don't think too hard about it...

* To the awesome people reading Jujutsu... It's tough ending up like me!
Be carefull!

° “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” It’s a phrase

uttered by the super-moody Junpei that’s had me stressed for
several months now.

* Some people, including my editor, claim it wasn't someone

Japanese who said that.

* Somebody who wasn't Japanese stated that there are multiple

definitions of love, so “indifference” is most likely the right word.

° | feel like “love” is a word Japanese people don't use all the time,
80 perhaps that’s why the phrase became widespread with the
casual usage of “like.” And maybe that’s why Junpei used it, right?

¢ What Junpei says perhaps comes from this misunderstanding.

* The thing that | was the most sad about wasn't my inability to
convey this concept in a more understandable way. Rather, several
friends and family now think I’m the type of person who can't even
do basic Google research to get the facts straight.

* The problem child of this book, Junpei, is at it again.

* “Teachers have no real-life experience! Take that!” Along with

pulling his pants down, saying that was so irresponsible!

* Teachers go through a lot, with the low pay and always being pressed
for time. Please look it up if you're interested in learning more.

* There are lots of strange people besides teachers. | don't have

much confidence. | wasn't a model student either...

* In high school, | once had some history homework over the

summer. | didn’t spend a single second on it and ended up
not even turning it in. Plus, | had completely forgotten that |
actually had homework. | was called to the school office and
the teacher asked me, “Do you Know why | called you in?” In

The teacher got so angry that | nearly wet myself. That

was scary...
