A boy fights for a “righteous death”. Harshness, regret, humiliation, and other negative emotions that humans generate become curses and lurk in our daily lives. Curses are the source of misfortune that spreads throughout the world, and in the worst cases, lead to death. And only curses can exorcise curses.
Yuji Itadori, a boy with extraordinary physical abilities, was leading an ordinary high school life. However, one day, to save his schoolmate who was attacked by a “curse,” he ate the “Finger of Double-Faced Specter,” a special-grade cursed object, and his soul became cursed.
Itadori, now sharing his body with the curse of the “Double-Faced Specter”, was admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, an institution specializing in curses, under the guidance of Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer in the world of jujutsu.
Thus begins the story of a boy cursed to exorcise curses, a magnificent tale with no turning back.
