#the fact that I won't be able to look forward to new chapters after semptember 30th feels... weird pff

Jujutsu Kaisen is ending in 5 chapters and Idk I'm super disappointed.

I don't think that'll make it bad now or anything but there's so much it could have been that it will never be because it's ending and that's very weird to like process lmao. I think Gege has told the story they want to tell and as a writer myself I think that's wonderful especially considering the conditions mangaka in weekly serialisations go through.

But like as a fan of this world and these characters and this story I really can't help but think of what could have been and what we've missed out on because either Gege didn't want to do it or because there were certain constraints from editorial or time or whatever. People will say "that's the point" as if it's a catch all deflection from criticism and while I agree that Gege doesn't just do shit for the sake of it I don't think it's weird that so many people expected so many things from this manga and need to go through the process of mourning the fact that there was never any intention for elaboration for shit that we were looking forward too or liked. Enjoying media should not only end at liking every single thing and justifying it. Sometimes loving a story is also about being critical of it, not even from a place of hate or anything, just cause you want the best for it and your opinion on what that could be is different from what's on paper.

I don't think I have anything definitive to say about JJK rn cause I need to do a reread but I will say, I really wish that Gege had written a lot of their female characters differently. Maki's the best of them yeah but like the Toji wank kind of ruined that for me. Yuki and Nobara.... sigh. I understand the "point" like it's about the fact that being a sorcerer will never give you a happy ending and all that stuff to do with the self vs the group and what it means to be part of something and blah blah but it's unfortunate that in this cast of majority male characters I'm supposed to accept that 2 really cool women had to die to "prove a point" as if we didn't get it already when Nanami and Junpei died. They could have been more than a reminder that shit sucks the same way the male characters were and I personally don't think Gege did a good job with that pfff.

Ig we'll see how the story ends and if my ranking of it will drop or rise cause we know how Gege is they might make all this worth it in some way and I'm excited to see what ending they have cooking. I think hjskahd
