Synopsis

Hidden in plain sight, an age-old conflict rages on. Supernatural monsters known as Curses terrorize humanity from the shadows, and powerful humans known as Jujutsu sorcerers use mystical arts to exterminate them. When high school student Yuuji Itadori finds a dried-up finger of the legendary Curse Sukuna Ryoumen, he suddenly finds himself joining this bloody conflict.

Attacked by a Curse attracted to the finger's power, Yuuji makes a reckless decision to protect himself, gaining the power to combat Curses in the process but also unwittingly unleashing the malicious Sukuna into the world once more. Though Yuuji can control and confine Sukuna to his own body, the Jujutsu world classifies Yuuji as a dangerous, high-level Curse who must be exterminated.

Detained and sentenced to death, Yuuji meets Satoru Gojou—a teacher at Jujutsu High School—who explains that despite his imminent execution, there is an alternative for him. Being a rare vessel to Sukuna, if Yuuji were to die, then Sukuna would perish too. Therefore, if Yuuji were to consume the many other remnants of Sukuna, then Yuuji's subsequent execution would truly eradicate the malicious demon. Taking up this chance to make the world safer and live his life for a little longer, Yuuji enrolls in Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, jumping headfirst into a harsh and unforgiving battlefield.

I think its a nice manga to read, it definitely has some very interesting moments BUT it couldve definitely been better.

The storyline itself is interesting and the characters are very likeable, it will surely catch your attention.
But it feels like it had so much more potential and in the end, the potential was wasted thanks to some Gege's decisions (that i think werent good for the plot and for the manga overall).
Thats why i think it could possibly let you down in some ways, especially near the end. The beginning tho, was honestly great.

Also, i think that JJK 0 was honestly really good, it was ...

A disappointing waste of a really neat premise, a great cast of characters, and an intriguing power system. The manga never again reaches the peak of the Shibuya Incident arc, and by the last third of the story, abandons any and all forms of character development for the sake of long, drawn-out fights that focus more on spectacle and word salad than a coherent fight. It's a series that seems to run almost solely on "aura" and hype for characters that usually never actually amount to anything. Even if the ending wasn't the most anticlimactic Nothing Burger ever written in the history of Shonen, I ...

It's a disaster, where the Author is way too hung up over the worship and screen time of his antagonist character, to the point where every other character suffers from a lack of exposition and the Author's lack of understanding of his own set up systems and logical orders of how things work with Cursed Energy and Cursed Techniques.

It's hard to get behind the thinking process between the various death and revival writing decisions, this Manga also severely avoids and rejects the golden rule of "Chekhov's Gun", because sometimes fights can start, certain things are implied to be done, or there is a looming ...
