What they did the best was definitely add even more character depth. They made me find new reasons to genuinely care about characters I didn't think much about, like Mahito or Ichiji. And Yuuji’s different stories definitely gave me at least a hundred more reasons to be even more in love with our main character. That last story, which was my favorite, definitely had me tearing up from the sheer love I have for him. This light novel, written by Kitaguni (with original story by Gege), includes a series of short stories of our favorite characters from the original manga. The stories by themselves don't add much to the plot, if at all. They’re basically bonus scenes set in between the events from the main storyline of the manga. I love that they each had a different mood, going from funny to philosophical to a bit horrifying. There's nothing too fancy about the stories, no big fight scene, or originality in the plot. But they were still very entertaining to read.

Akutami launched the main manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2018. The manga has 60 million copies in circulation, including print and digital copies. Akutami said in February that manga will "probably" end within two years. Akutami added he does not have confidence in that statement though. Due to the pandemic from the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), few films have opened with midnight screenings in Japan during the past two years. Loo, Egan (December 4, 2021).

During publication of the monthly series, Akutami had no intention of having his series published in Weekly Shōnen Jump. The positive response to Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, however, led him to turn the series into the main manga, Jujutsu Kaisen. When starting this series, Akutami had not planned any themes for the narrative but had the idea of giving the characters a cool appeal. The narrative of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 became connected with the other manga, with the final chapter being conceived as soon as he started writing it. He said, however, he was not sure about the possibility of properly connecting the beginning with the ending. [7] Yuta and Rika, the first characters created, were intended as a combination for the manga. [8] Akutami found that the early design of Yuta was so similar to that of fellow Jujutsu Sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro they might confuse readers. He noted the same similarities between Inumaki and Yuji Itadori. [9] As a result, Akutami changed Yuta's look for the main series. [8] Akutami included a line about Michizane Sugawara, a famous figure in Japanese history who is mentioned as Yuta and Gojo's predecessor, as a tribute to a late editor Yamanaka. When Yuta comforts Maki in the third chapter to the point she cries, the new editor Katayama said he liked it too much because he felt Yuta really understood Maki's feelings. Akutami decided to revise this scene in the storyboard following his editor's praise. He also said Suguru Geto is a strong villain, believing he could have won his fight against Yuta if he had destroyed the supernatural barrier between Shinjuku and Kyoto. Sugawara was added under the advice that the series should feature a real person.

However, the previous translations contain more extensive translator's notes at the end, so you might benefit from skimming those.
