Manga Rec Thread

A realization just hit me and I'm posting it here because I can't seem to find if we have a Jujutsu General thread anywhere.

When it first came out, people were joking about Yuji being 'pink naruto', and as of the ending i've heard people talk about Yuji's attempt at 'talk no jutsu' at the very end, but...

Man, JK is like an inversion of Naruto.
Naruto has the endless "you're just like me!" resolution to every villain, the reveal that everybody was lonely at some point.
Jujutsu Kaisen has the infamous "You're right, I am you." scene, where the villain tries to convince the hero that they're not so diffrent, and it results in one of the most hardcore and most terrifying scenes of the whole series.

Even the ending, that wasn't Yuji trying to redeem Sakuna. That was a bold-faced death-threat and one last attempt to offer mercy, from a character who's always hated killing people, but never really been able to avoid it.
And of course, the response is "Are you pitying me, nigga? I'll kill us both out of spite!"

Because curses are an embodiment of malice.

It's the total reverse of what you'd expect if you went in expecting 'pink Naruto', and it's better for it.
Proof that 'subverting expectations' doesn't always have to be dogshit.

Go watch/read Jujutsu Kaisen.

What's funny is also that Sukuna even after death didn't really feel sorry about anything he did

He just realized, maybe he was wasting a good portion of his life being a POS out of spite

So if he can master his reincarnation or choose what he gets reborn as, he might just decide to be both a Japanese Gordon Ramsay and a Yakuza man for the hell of it
 
Sorcerer Misinfo pamphlets.

I'll be honest, magical disinformation pamphlets would be awesome.
The oposite of Revealing One's Hand.
People who read them to believe that they've independently verified how your cursed technique works, except key details have been fudged.
