Description: The story follows Yuta Okkotsu, who faces bullying until Rika, a cursed spirit fiercely protective of him, harms the bullies. The Jujutsu Society considers executing Yuta due to the dangerous special-grade spirit he harbors. However, the powerful sorcerer and teacher, Satoru Gojo, intervenes and suggests enrolling Yuta at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High School. Yuta reveals to Gojo that Rika was his childhood friend, and he had promised to marry her. After a tragic accident claimed Rika’s life, she became a curse. Yuta had surrendered himself, wishing to die to prevent further harm. Gojo persuades him to embrace life and learn to break the curse by joining Jujutsu High.
At the school, Yuta befriends classmates Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Panda, each possessing unique abilities. During his first mission with Maki, Yuta successfully summons Rika to save them from a cursed spirit. Later, he confides in Gojo that he believes his love for Rika may have caused her curse, not the other way around. It is revealed that Rika’s death in an accident transformed her into a curse. Over three months of training, Yuta grows closer to his peers. However, during a mission with Inumaki, they are ambushed by a high-level curse. Gojo identifies the attacker as Suguru Geto, a former student exiled for killing innocent people.
Geto declares war on the sorcerers, planning to release a thousand curses to eliminate non-sorcerers, whom he deems worthless. His true motive is to distract Gojo and kill Yuta to absorb Rika’s power. Gojo uncovers Geto’s plan and sends Inumaki and Panda back to the school to protect Yuta, who remains with Maki as a newcomer. Despite their efforts, Geto defeats Maki, Inumaki, and Panda in battle.
