Gege Akutami reveals motivation behind Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s only romance Gege Akutami\/MAPPAJujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami has revealed why his manga doesn\u2019t have any romances other than Mechamaru and Miwa. In the bleak world of Jujutsu Kaisen, one seldom finds time for love. As a result, there\u2019s almost no romantic plotlines in the series. However, even amid the darkness, two Kyoto Jujutsu High students have managed to fall in love. Mechamaru and Miwa\u2019s love story is tragic, with the former dying towards the beginning of the Shibuya Incident. Even before his death, Mechamaru never told Miwa his feelings, only confessing after his death. What\u2019s more, he had no hope of reciprocation and never knew Miwa loved him back. Despite the sad note it ends on, theirs is the only canon romance between two characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. And though there\u2019s another prominent love story hinted at in the series \u2013 between Toji Fushiguro and Megumi\u2019s mother \u2013 we never see it happen. During the manga\u2019s exhibition at Shibuya, an interviewer asked Gege Akutami why he included Mechamaru and Miwa\u2019s romance. \u201cThere are basically no romantic elements in Jujutsu Kaisen. Because there are no characters or storylines that would justify the introduction of a romantic relationship,\u201d answered the author. \u201cOf all the characters, only Miwa didn\u2019t seem to be out of the picture if she had a love interest, so we settled on that development.\u201d It makes sense since Miwa is introduced as the most normal of the bunch. Others have a lot on their plates regarding murderous curses and ancient sorcerers to think about romance. Besides, as often as Jujutsu Kaisen kills its characters, it\u2019d only end in more tragedies if there were more. Other than Miwa and Mechamaru, we also see another love story between Yuta and Rika. However, theirs is twisted, tragic, and truthfully cannot be called real romantic love. And given the way Jujutsu Kaisen is going, it appears there won\u2019t be any romance in the future, too.
