It is a movie adaptation of “Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic” drawn by Mr. Gege Akutami as a short-term intensive serialization before the serialization of the original manga that I did. It was also made into a book as “Volume 0”, and it is an episode with very high support from fans, such as recording a big hit that is unusual for a single volume comic.
Yuta Otobone, the movie’s main character, lost her childhood friend Rika, who had made a promise to marry her, in front of her in a car accident when she was a child and was obsessed with her. Rika, who became her curse, injures the humans around Otsubone with her enormous power. Although he has lived away from relationships with people, he vows to break the curse of his “loved one” when he meets Satoru Gojo, a teacher at the Magic College. The story of the origin of “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “The story of love and curse” is drawn in the movie.
