Authors: Gege Akutami, Ballad Kitaguni

Gege Akutami
Born 1992 (Heisei 4th year) in Japan Iwate. In 2014, he made his debut with the work “Kamishiro Sōsa” which didn’t cause too much ripples.
Because I liked telling fibs since he was a child and had the habit of blaming my family’s pet dog for the food I sneakily ate and the objects I wrecked, when I got knocked down by a car on the way home, no one in my family believed I had an accident.

From 2019 until now, Jujutsu Kaisen has been serialised in Shounen Jump. Many have said that they seen the drawing style somewhere before.

Ballad Kitaguni
Born 19xx (Heisei ? year) in Hokkaido.
In 2015, he  released the book “Apricot Red”, pushing his own personal fetishes to the world.

During the summer, I placed the chocolate someone gave to me together with my mobile phone in my pocket and totally forgot about it.
Then on the way home, I took out the my sticky phone and my friend just said to me, baffled “Where did you birth this monstrous thing from?”

From 2019 till now, when I was chosen to write a novel, the publishing company provided me with volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen as reference.
In the end I got completely hooked and went to buy the entire set of digital copies.

(T/N: A Tumblr user called Leche Allen has kindly translated the first two chapters from Japanese and posted it on her page. You can easily find them with a quick google search. I am translating from chinese so there will be some slight differences between our translations. I had considered just translating chapter 3 onwards but well, since I have the book, might as well translate Ch 1 and 2 my own way. Also I won’t be providing illustrations.)

Chapter 1: Wandering Around During A Day Off
Chapter 2: Resurrection Puppet
Chapter 3: Fables From The Dark
Chapter 4: The Hardworking Ichiji-Sensei
Chapter 5:A Guardian Phantom Patrolling
