Sabu Musha, responsible for the art and story is really killing it in this chapter.

I decided to pick upJujutsu Kaisen since there weren’t any new updates for manga I was following. My friends enjoyed the anime and were showering it with praise, so I decided to give it a read.
The premise is unique, but still shounen. The praise and comparisons to Naruto are not exaggerated. Both protaginists have a demon attempting to take over their body. Both protaginists have a op teacher who obscures a portion of their face. Finally, both manga have a competition arc, though this has become a shounen trope.
This page was pretty funny
Jujutsu Kaisen: Chapter 19, Page 19
The premise and characters are pretty unique and raunchy, in comparison to other series I have read, for a harem manga. There were many moments that made me laugh. What interested me the most was finding out who’s “Cinderella”. The author did a great job at hiding the character, as I misidentified “Cinderella” on multiple occasions. The premise and character types is revealed early, so it’s very easy to pick up and get hooked.
I didn’t like the ending reveal because there weren’t many hints, furthermore, the reveal came out of nowhere. I’m not sure if “Cinderella” was planned from the beginning, if the author was rushed, or if the author had written themselves into a hole. I enjoyed the journey more than the destination. Regardless of the reveal, I still enjoyed it, but the ending felt rushed.
Currently it holds my tablets as I consume media. Initially this was intended to be mounted on my desk for my work laptop. However, I haven’t gotten my mouse, monitor, and keyboard setup, so the arm is being used on the futon. Once I get the desk setup, I might get a second set for the futon
I picked this up at a local bookshop after seeing this on a previous walk without my wallet. The summary sounded interesting
Mine has been a life of much shame.
I can’t even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being.
Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death.
Osamu Dazai’s immortal—and supposedly autobiographical—work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time to sublimate Yozo’s mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.
