They’re basically bonus scenes set in between the events from the main storyline of the manga. I love that they each had a different mood, going from funny to philosophical to a bit horrifying. There's nothing too fancy about the stories, no big fight scene, or originality in the plot. But they were still very entertaining to read.

Chapter 2: The Resurrection Puppet - Nanami and Gojou go on a trip to investigate rumors of a curse user. Chapter 4: The Hardworking Ichiji-san ( 働 ( はたら ) く 伊 ( い ) 地 ( じ ) 知 ( ち ) さん , Hataraku Ijichi-san ?) After the events at the detention centre and Itadori's revival, Gojo Satoru gets sent on a mission for a few days. So he asks Ichiji Kiyotaka to let Itadori stay at his apartment for a few days. 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] Akutami wrote the series with no themes to follow but wanted to write and draw cool-looking characters. They were often supported by their two editors while writing the manga. The manga was a commercial success in both Japan and North America. Critical response to the manga was generally positive; several reviewers praised Yuta's role and his relationship with Rika. Critics found Yuta more compelling than Jujutsu Kaisen 's Yuji Itadori who, while having several similarities with Yuta, has different characterizations. The relationships of the main cast were also well-received and the manga's artwork was praised.

Fables from the Dark - Mahito's story when he encountered a "weird" human being who had given up everything in life. I didn't really like Mahito he killed Nanami, for God's sake!! but as a character, he's a great one (plus, Shimazaki-san voiced him!). I think this story can make us understand Mahito a bit better.

They made me find new reasons to genuinely care about characters I didn't think much about, like Mahito or Ichiji. And Yuuji’s different stories definitely gave me at least a hundred more reasons to be even more in love with our main character. That last story, which was my favorite, definitely had me tearing up from the sheer love I have for him.

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.a b 呪術廻戦 0 東京都立呪術高等専門学校 (in Japanese). Shueisha. Archived from the original on October 22, 2020 .

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.

However, the previous translations contain more extensive translator's notes at the end, so you might benefit from skimming those. In these stories we get to read what our favorite Sorcerers and Curses do on their off days between the main storyline. We hear about Megumi and Yuji following Gojo around on his day off, a mission Nanami takes on where Gojo invites himself to join, Mahito looking for a place to stay, Yuji being off-loaded onto Ijichi by Gojo, and what Yuji did to pass his time before revealing that he wasn't actually dead! Before reading this, I already admire and love Yuuji as a shonen protagonist. This story reminds me why do I feel that way towards him.vol.4 (in Japanese). Shueisha. November 17, 2015.

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. I was so curious to discover the novel adapted from one of my favorite mangas of all times. It compiles 5 separate stories following Yuuji & Megumi, Gojo & Nanami, Mahito, Yuuji & Ichiji and Yuuji by himself. And I really loved it ! a b Loo, Egan (June 13, 2021).
