5 out of 5 stars
5 stars – I loved it!

This was a great introduction to Jujutsu High and this world of cursed spirits. Yuji was a determined young man who just wants to save people and fulfill his grandfather’s wish. While this is the first volume, we already see a lot of danger and death. Also, i really like all the characters that have been introduced so far. 

Trigger Warnings: death of a grandparent;

“The only fair thing about life is how unfair it is to everyone.” 

This volume sees Yuji coming back to life and getting trained by Gojo. We also finally get to see some of what Gojo can do when he is attacked by the cursed spirit Jogo. This volume ends with the students from the other school arriving for the Goodwill event. I continue to be hooked to Yuji’s story and this fascinating world of cursed spirits. I still really like all the characters, even the villains and hope we get to see more of what Gojo can do.
