Product Information

Akutami, Gege (2021b). 呪術廻戦 公式ファンブック[ Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook] (in Japanese). Shueisha. ISBN 978-4-08-882636-3. Production [ edit ] The inclusion of Sugawara no Michizane in the narrative was Akutami's tribute to their late editor. Chapter 5: Illusory Trek to the Guardian Demon ( 守 ( もり ) 鬼 ( おに ) 幻 ( けん ) 視 ( し ) 行 ( こつ ) , Mori oni kenshikotsu ?) Comments that are not in accordance with the Guidelines and/or that violate TOM’s Terms of Use and/or other policies are eligible to be reported or removed. Yuta and Rika, the first characters created, were intended as a combination for the manga. [8] Akutami found that the early design of Yuta was so similar to that of fellow Jujutsu Sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro they might confuse readers. He noted the same similarities between Inumaki and Yuji Itadori. [9] As a result, Akutami changed Yuta's look for the main series. [8] Akutami included a line about Michizane Sugawara, a famous figure in Japanese history who is mentioned as Yuta and Gojo's predecessor, as a tribute to a late editor Yamanaka. When Yuta comforts Maki in the third chapter to the point she cries, the new editor Katayama said he liked it too much because he felt Yuta really understood Maki's feelings. Akutami decided to revise this scene in the storyboard following his editor's praise. He also said Suguru Geto is a strong villain, believing he could have won his fight against Yuta if he had destroyed the supernatural barrier between Shinjuku and Kyoto. Sugawara was added under the advice that the series should feature a real person. [10] Release [ edit ]

The Mary Sue saw parallels between Yuji and Yuta, both of whom deal with a curse they are trying to get rid of, although Yuta's growth makes him appealing because he stops wanting to die and appreciates his life. According to the reviewer, Yuta's cursing of Rika rather than the reverse felt like a strong twist. The supporting characters Maki, Panda and Inumaki were praised for developing alongside Yuta; [33] Real Sound particularly praised the bond the Jujutsu Sorcerers have in general; in one volume, it is shown Maki trains Yuta and befriends in the process, which gives further depth to the main manga. [39] Otaquest lamented the demoted roles of the supporting characters in the finale when they are defeated by Geto but noted the manga helps readers to further understand them. [35] Despite Gojo being identical to his regular persona, critics found the pilot helps to further explore his past as a result of his tragic relationship with Geto, which reveals a major twist in the main series. [33] [35] [34] Geto's link with Yuta through the late Sugawara no Michizane made Real Sound wonder if Akutami had planned to develop such character in the main series because it helps explain why the protagonist and his mentor are so powerful. [40] During publication of the monthly series, Akutami had no intention of having his series published in Weekly Shōnen Jump. The positive response to Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, however, led him to turn the series into the main manga, Jujutsu Kaisen. When starting this series, Akutami had not planned any themes for the narrative but had the idea of giving the characters a cool appeal. The narrative of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 became connected with the other manga, with the final chapter being conceived as soon as he started writing it. He said, however, he was not sure about the possibility of properly connecting the beginning with the ending. [7] Due to the pandemic from the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), few films have opened with midnight screenings in Japan during the past two years. After the battle, Yuta is surprised to find himself still alive. Gojo explains Rika did not curse Yuta; rather, when Rika died, Yuta accidentally cursed her using hidden energy he inherited from the figure Sugawara no Michizane, forcing her to remain by his side. Rika peacefully passes to the afterlife, asking an apologetic Yuta to live a full life. Yuta continues his work as a sorcerer with his friends, still wearing Rika's engagement's ring.

Retrieved November 29, 2021.The Hardworking Ijichi-sensei - A story about Yuuji who spent a day following Ijichi-san to many places to work. I LOOOOVE this story. Ijichi-san may not be a popular character, but he's an ordinary adult among the "specials" one and that makes him so relatable to many other adults who read JJK like me. This story explained to us how was the administrative works behind the exorcising or fighting events in JJK and make us understand how important the auxiliary managers were and why the Jujutsu Sorcerer Society needed a lot of them. I really like the relationship between Ijichi-san and Yuuji here. I love this story too. It was simple but perfect to portray Yuuji's characterization. In the manga and anime, he's always portrayed as kindhearted, sympathetic, perceptive, and understanding, but this story (along with the fourth story) affirmed it by providing other good examples. Besides, I feel like I see the suppressed part of Yuuji's here: the part of him who feels lonely because he's just alone in this world after his grandpa died. Wandering around during a Day Off - Yuuji and Megumi strolled around while waiting for Nobara finished shopping. The boys played game in arcade then happened to see Gojo. They followed him to here and there until they arrived to an angelic maid cafe and were forced to spend time there.

This is the first light novel of Jujutsu Kaisen. The English title of this one (according to wiki) is "Soaring Summer and Returning Autumn". The original title (Japanese) is "逝く夏と還る秋 [Iku Natsu to Kaeru Aki]". This person's translations of chapters 1 and 2 are smoother and read more easily than the previous translations. However, the previous translations contain more extensive translator's notes at the end, so you might benefit from skimming those. Chapter 3: Fables From the Dark: During his study of the human soul, Mahito meets an old blind man in the sewers. Keep an eye out for some interesting references to Buddhism.Alverson, Brigid (February 5, 2021). "January 2021 NPD BookScan - Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels". ICv2.

Comic Book Resources stated the manga's artwork was well executed to portray the character's emotions and the story's dark elements. [38] Manga News also found the art interesting, especially the character designs, but often noted its strange proportions. The art was favorably compared with the sequel as Akutami's sharp line goes very well. [34] The fight scenes were generally well-regarded by critics, which include the handling of limbs and explosions. [35] [36]
