Gege Akutami regrets one thing about the Jujutsu Kaisen plot Gege Akutami\/MAPPAJujutsu Kaisen manga would\u2019ve been a lot different had it not been for the first editor, but creator Gege Akutami has admitted to regretting how things turned out. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular Shonen manga of recent times. The story is set in a world where curses pile up due to negative emotions, and only a small percentage of people are able to see and fight them. There are two high schools dedicated to teaching the next generation of Jujutsu sorcerers. However, the story wasn\u2019t always meant to be like that. Before JJK 0 was released, Akutami had a very different vision from how the story is now. The editor believed the original premise was interesting but the setting was too stale and dark. Hence, Gege changed the story\u2019s setting according to his editor\u2019s wishes. The information comes from a fanbook related to JJK 0 where Gege reveals his interaction with his first editor. A Jujutsu Kaisen fan on Twitter\/X has now shared the translated version, which reads, \u201cBut even now, when I think about this time, what comes to mind are my own personal criticisms towards my first editor, Yamanaka, so let\u2019s forget about that and move on. \u201c\u2018I\u2019ll do what I want and, if it doesn\u2019t work out, I\u2019ll give up!\u2019 \u2013 the storyboard of a horror manga made out of desperation was the prototype for the first chapter. \u201cThere are no changes to Okkotsu and Rika-chan\u2019s composition as characters; the proposed plot was about going to haunted places and finding vengeful spirits that could overpower Rika and exorcize her, in order to stop her from killing Okkotsu\u2019s relatives (especially his younger sister) out of jealousy. \u201cTo maintain public safety, there was a secret government agency responsible for exorcizing spirits in various places by using people like Okkotsu. After being recruited by someone from that agency, Okkotsu would begin his journey to eliminate Rika-chan (and the person who would show up to recruit him would be Maki). \u201cI\u2019ll admit that, even now, I still prefer this version. That\u2019s because I feel like I would be able to continue it in a consistent way, even after finishing the first chapter.\u201d Jujutsu Kaisen begins with a prequel volume introducing Yuta Okkotsu as the main character. Gege Akutami then continues the story with Yuji as the protagonist, a year after Yuta joined Jujutsu Tech High School. The mangaka had to change the setting to a high school because of his editor. Jujutsu Kaisen is his first serialized manga and the creator still prefers his original vision. And it\u2019s clear he still has regrets over how his story turned out. The Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be ending in a few weeks, so find out the final chapter\u2019s release date.
