“My best friend did. My one and only.”
i just watched this movie a couple weeks ago while i was in michigan, and it was just everything. I was so curious to get to know yuta after being caught up with s1 and s2 of the animation, but i did not expect, not in my wildest dreams, to get so much gojo and geto backstory. but yeah, i am back in vegas now and i really wanted to pick up the manga, and here i am crying over gojo, geto, yuta, and even maki all over again! (this is a long preamble to say, i might be a little biased from just watching this adaptation, but i promise, this volume zero is so good!)
this prequel introduces us to yuta okkotsu who is a special grade jujutsu sorcerer, who is attached to a special grade cursed spirit and… i can’t say anything else without rebreaking my heart, but that is his very basic set up. But gojo comes and gets him, and brings him back to jujutsu high, where he trains alongside maki, toge, and panda (and forms special bonds with them all).
and one lost id card and one promised battle at kyoto on christmas eve later…
this volume is just… really sad. It’s also really beautiful, and so very touching, but oh my gosh it is heartbreaking on two counts. yet, a good reminder that you are worthy of living life, and sometimes people are lucky enough to have some really good people around them that will help remind them of that. (and i am reminding you of that right now, too.)
lastly, 1.) give maki the world and 2.) (even though it’s not in a manga) what the hell did he whisper…

Acabo de terminarlo y me dejó con una sensación complicada de describir.
Empezaré por el dibujo, me encanta la forma en la que Gege Akutami maneja la acción en los paneles. Se logra transmitir la velocidad y el cambio en el espacio, me gusta la forma en la que los personajes se mueven debido a este efecto. Los paneles más impresionantes, sin duda son en los que los personajes demuestran emociones fuertes y se nota en todo su cuerpo, desde sus ojos y expresión facial hasta su postura.
Otros paneles igual de impactantes para mí fueron los de las maldiciones, fueron perturbadoras y muy bien detalladas, era como ver pesadillas.
La acción y el ritmo estuvieron muy bien, aunque no tuvieron mucho tiempo de conocerse, lxs personajes lograron tener una buena conexión y logras empatizar con ellxs. Me agradan mucho Maki, Inumaki, Panda y Yuta, son un equipo bastante peculiar que encajan perfecto. Gojo es gracioso, pero yo no podría perdonar que ataquen de esa forma a mis estudiantes. Geto no me cae bien, lo siento, no entiendo porqué lo aman tanto.
Algunas partes fueron bastante emocionales y lloré un poco. El diálogo también puede ser impactante en el momento adecuado. Me gusta el balance entre los momentos críticos y los de comedia y seriedad.
Seguiré leyendo Jujutsu Kaisen porque es bastante entretenida y tiene personajes interesantes.

yuta. sweet boy. inumaki is the MVP though no doubt about it, i hope we get more cursed speech usage in later volumes.
reading order wise i went for this after vol 9 which was nice to have a connected arc for suguru rather than the order i watched the anime in (season 1, 0, season 2)
akutami. what possessed you to deprive readers of satoru’s last words to HIS LOVE suguru. i am in denial that gojo killed him then and there…

It’s a fun “self-contained” story you don’t need the other context of JJK to enjoy, but now re-reading it after watching season 1 & 2, it definitely makes it more enriching!

the way so many abusive ships (such as satosugu) tend to be the most popular and mainstream in fandom culture really shows that society has an extremely weird, warped and toxic view on interpersonal relations, regardless if it's platonic or not. it's gross seeing humans glorify, idealize and romanticize various abusive friendship and relationship dynamics that they see in media without pausing to think and reflect on it or criticize it (if any at all). it definitely says a lot about all the friendship and relationship issues that always happen in real life lmfao, it's very eye opening. jjk 0 focuses on yuta's personal journey and story but i'm not surprised that satosugu shippers took over and made it all about their ship after seeing some scattered crumbs. they have the worst habit of assuming that the entirety of jjk revolves around their ship and it's extremely comical to see their self-inflicted meltdowns caused by their delusions, hallucinations and far-fetched, baseless fanon theories which they love to claim as canon.
anyway, this prequel was alright even though i like the main student characters here more than the trio in the original series. protagonist yuta + first year trio inumaki panda maki supremacy.
ugly monkey geto made me laugh, what a flop.seeing gojo kill geto really satisfied me, peak karma tbh. besides, kenjaku is a better villain than geto. i love that geto, a forgettable minor side character in the main series, only became an important and useful character after death and it's all thanks to kenjaku.

This book is amazing for anime lovers, the beginning is kind of boring but its worth it. I personally love this book and I read it every day. Its super funny but pretty violent. If you like anime then you would love this book.
