Realizing the Three Great Ideas in the World of Jujutsu

[I can't patch this up anymore. Everywhere I look, there are plot holes. I'm truly sorry. After struggling for so long, I've still had to abandon this story.]

[To make the romance work, I even ruined the heroine's characterization, half-ruined the setting, and the original main plot fell apart so badly that I can't bear to read it myself.]

[How I went from squealing over Geto Suguru being so hot to rolling my eyes and calling him an idiot now]

[If you have an obsessive need to research every detail, don't start writing before you've finished your research. Let this be a hard-earned lesson T-T]

[The character I liked turned out to be someone I'd only imagined in my own head. Sob, sob. Good thing I didn't buy a figurine back then.]

Ieiri Shoko said she could only stand behind the two of them and watch.

Gojo Satoru said he could only save those who asked him for help.

Geto Suguru refused to ask for help, swearing to keep walking down the path of his own grand cause until there was no turning back.

But Ezaki Ryo wasn't willing to let go.

Please note:

1. Ryo-chan and Geto are childhood friends, and Geto is her love interest.

2. The story begins just after Geto's defection. The Bungo Stray Dogs timeline is four or five years after the Ability Wars ended.

3. Ryo-chan gets stabbed by Geto. It happens right at the beginning!

4. Ryo-chan is one of the strongest characters in the Bungo Stray Dogs setting. There's a kind of being killed called, "I let you kill me." Natsume is the big shot backing her.

5. A crossover of Jujutsu Kaisen, Bungo Stray Dogs, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., and Demon Slayer. Others may make a cameo, or may not appear at all.

6. There are original settings, which I'll explain in the author's notes for the relevant chapters. Feel free to remind me if I miss anything. Some original settings may involve foreshadowing, so I may not be able to explain them. The completed version of the Three-Part Framework is completely reworked; its transitional period is similar to the Bungo Stray Dogs version.

7. There probably won't be any sweet romance. It won't be angsty, either. I'm hopeless at writing romance, sigh.

8. The main characters aren't exactly good people. Don't get your hopes up.

Theme: Don't keep heading down a dead end. Hold on to your ideals, but be flexible in how you pursue them.
