[Jujutsu Kaisen] Asahi Brightbright

You call yourself Mingming, and the senior whose name resembles yours clearly doesn't know what to say about that.

But for now, let's talk about something more worth discussing.

This may sound a little conceited... but you know you're genuinely a pretty great person. You're strong, good-looking, and both your IQ and EQ are on point. Someone as sunny, positive, cheerful, and funny as you can confidently say: Everyone likes me, and that's only natural!

...But then, starting one day, the people around you began looking at you strangely.

You were baffled, annoyed, and furious. In the end, you used your strength to pry their mouths open.

They claimed to have memories from the future. And in 2018, you, about to turn thirty, had become a pathetic adult with no proper job, working part-time at a convenience store. Your relationships were a complete mess: you had no friends and never contacted your family. Customers complained about you every day, you had less than 10,000 yen in savings, and every day you did nothing but eat, drink, use the bathroom, and stare into space.

You stared at yourself in disbelief, trembling as you pointed: That could be me?

But what you didn't know was that one day after the Shibuya Incident, the convenience store's least popular employee finished her night shift, changed out of her uniform, turned off the lights and power, and locked up. On the way home, she called the manager to quit, then casually slipped her last banknote through the door of a home where elderly parents had lost their only child. Then, calm and composed, she set out on a journey to die alongside the world's ultimate final boss.

Perhaps it was fate's mercy, or perhaps fate was playing a cruel joke. At the very starting point of the Shibuya Incident, before anything had happened, the person who cared least about "getting another chance" slowly opened her eyes.

The annoying balance in her passbook, her rumbling stomach, the troublesome Six Eyes and her troublesome friends.

And... the two silent children in front of her.

This time, with plenty of time to spare, Toji Fushiguro decided to find a more reliable sucker to take over.

1. BE in the original world, third-person POV; HE in the current world, second-person POV.

2. No CP in the main story. You could call it friendship with a hint of ambiguity. There are pairings in the extras, which is why it's tagged romance.

3. The female lead is as described in the summary: an optimistic person who laughs easily, a well-rounded fighter, basically a good person by conventional standards, with mild histrionic personality traits.

4. The main story is expected to be 200,000 words, with about 20,000 words of extras.

Theme: Saving each other.
