"being a child is not a sin" they said, and then proceeded to strip away every good thing a child has ever had in his life (there wasn't a lot to begin with). i honestly feel so incredibly bad for yoshino junpei, his life was already miserable enough, but then he had to meet mahito of all 'people' so that he could make his life even worse. and don't get me wrong, i love mahito, i'm his biggest fan, but he did junpei so wrong and it wasn't even worth it! their whole plan was to use the kid, to have him befriend itadori and then do something horrible to him so that itadori would make a pact with sukuna. but they already made a pact! (i don't think they can make another one?) but they don't know about it (neither does itadori himself, to be fair)! so they basically destroyed an innocent, already depressed, child's life for nothing! i'm not ready to read the next volume, i'm not ready to see yuji and junpei fight. we could've had it all, they could've been such good friends! 😭 ugh.

the best part of the third volume was mahito and nanami's fight btw, i always love it so much because of how cool and not at all comparable their cursed techniques are, it's so much fun!

and we got nobara on the cover, and we barely got to see her, or megumi 😤 i miss them already, give me my trio back, this is too depressing!
