    Summary

    She has always known that Gojo Satoru was the source of all her problems. But as Utahime sips a small mouthful of sake from the sakazuki in her hand with Zen’in Naoya smiling down at her, his lined gold eyes gleaming with deep-seated satisfaction, she knows that this is by far the worst thing Gojo has had a hand in.

    This referring to how she’s now bound to Naoya for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, and in sickness and in health for the rest of her days.

    Summary

    “Yeah! Oh, my name is Gojo Satoru, by the way.” He hides the hurt behind his teeth, his grin wide and friendly. He thought he’d only have to introduce himself once to someone he called his best friend. It’s strange to repeat words from more than a decade ago to the same person. “You can call me Satoru.” He hopes he calls him Satoru.

    “I’m Geto,” he says back. You were Suguru to me, Gojo thinks. “Nice to meet you, Satoru.”

    “Nice to meet you, too.” He leans against the wall beside him, tries to look nonchalant as he does. “So, do you come here often?”

     

    Geto thinks Gojo is just a lonely guy who wants friends. Gojo just wants to know if he remembers him, even just a little bit.

    Summary

    Satoru Gojo had been killed more than once in his short life... but his death at the age of twenty-nine was widely considered to be the most permanent one yet.

     

    Over a year has passed since the fight against Sukuna and Gojo has returned, but at a great personal cost. Without his techniques and even fewer allies, Gojo struggles to understand what's left when he's no longer the most powerful sorcerer of the age.

    Utahime Iori fell for Gojo once before and she already learned her lesson, but circumstances have pushed her back into the path of the man she's tried hard to forget, challenging her resolve and awakening old feelings she vowed to extinguish.

    What does it mean to be strong? To be vulnerable? And if forced to choose between love and power, what will win out?

    Summary

    “If I were to use my technique on you, even a special-grade curse would suddenly feel like child’s play,” she told Mr. Higuruma.

    There was a degree of interest there that he couldn’t hide. All men were fundamentally the same, hunting for power of one kind or another, and even the ones who had it were always greedy for more.

    “And that’s not to mention other effects I can produce,” she finished vaguely. Perhaps he’d catch the hint, but she didn’t know him well enough to spell it out. “Someone like me, from the moment I was born, was just too valuable to live freely.”

    Utahime has known all her life that she's destined to be sold to the highest bidder when it comes to marriage. But when the winning bidder is murdered right before her and the finger of blame points squarely at Utahime, her life is shattered. With the most powerful clans, senior figures of Jujutsu Society, and even her own family gunning for her, there's only one man she can turn to for help... if she can just figure out what he wants in return.
