Satoru was an astounding manga artist. His newest series, Jujutsu Kaisen, has been incredibly successful.

People all over the world have read it, they wait ages just for the tiniest of leaks.

As much as the series was good, it was also very sad. There was no such thing as plot armor in his manga. Any character could die at any time.

There was a certain character though that Satoru has grown to despise over the years.

Gege Akutami.

He’s the most powerful character in the series, known for his looks and charisma as well as his strength.

Gege was a beloved character of Satoru’s.

But as time went on, Gege’s popularity grew.

And grew.

And grew.

Until Gege was all anybody talked about.

What’s Gege’s favorite color?

What’s Gege’s biggest fear?

Are Gege’s parents still alive?

It was really starting to get on his nerves. Gege wasn’t even the main character!

He tried to kill Gege off multiple times, but nothing seemed to fit right.

The damn bastard just couldn’t seem to die!

The last straw was when you, Satoru’s beloved wife, even grew a liking to Gege.

You’ve always supported Satoru. Always read his chapters and given him criticism.

“Not gonna lie, I would totally leave you for Gege.”

Gege was dead the next chapter.

He would not let a CHARACTER HE CREATED take his wife away from him.

There was an uproar. Murals were painted, support groups were made.

But Satoru had no intention of bringing him back.

Not now, not ever.

…

You are in you and Satoru’s shared bed. Satoru has given you the draft of Chapter 271 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the last chapter of the series.

Satoru had dropped hints to the public about Gege coming back, and you were a bit excited to see if he would.

But as you come to the last panel, your smile drops.

Gege was not back.

He wasn’t even mentioned by the main characters.

The three protagonists walk off into the sunset, not even mentioning their dead sensei Gege.

Satoru plops down on the bed.

“So, what do you think?”
