Asagiri Ruka died.
Luckily, she got the chance to borrow another five hundred years from Heaven.
Substitute System: [Starting today, you are our substitute heroine! Just earn popularity points in the manga world, and you'll be revived in no time!]
A substitute romance? She knew all about that.
Take a newcomer with a similar face, have her play out the old heartbreak, and create a three-person tragic love triangle.
Asagiri Ruka nodded confidently, shook hands with the System solemnly, and then...
As soon as she transmigrated, she was dumped in Tokyo, where curses crawled all over the place.
Asagiri, pure-blooded ordinary human, no cursed energy, Ruka intertwined her fingers and asked gravely, "Do I really have to be this substitute heroine?"
System: [You do.]
And so...
The official announcement came: a new Jujutsu Kaisen manga project.
Readers cursed and grumbled as they jumped in, then got hopelessly hooked.
[If you love someone, you have to imitate the way they act.] [Do you have to imitate their face, too (?)] [Take the original's path and leave the original nowhere to go.] [Gojo Kitty: Oh no, I'm the substitute now.]
[Congratulations to 5t5 for coming in second in the 5t5 Imitation Contest.]
[Those are all my lines! (Kitty is upset.)]
[The cult leader despises monkeys without cursed energy following at his side.] [But there's one exception.jpg]
[New curse user: Is this the grand undertaking you were talking about? You said you'd build a world for sorcerers, but you can't even practice what you preach!] [So being a hypocrite is actually a requirement for becoming a cult leader?!]
[Cult leader: ...Could it be that I'm not the one you're talking about?]

Substitute System: [...Um, this doesn't seem quite right.]
Asagiri Ruka shrugged with both hands spread. "What's wrong? Is there anyone more dedicated to the role of substitute heroine than me?"
Substitute System: [...]
That doesn't mean you should play both the male lead and the first love's parts all by yourself!
Reader's guide:
1. The protagonist thinks in a very unusual way. Please forgive me if that catches you off guard.
2. This story is not friendly to the villains of Jujutsu Kaisen. Villain fans, enter with caution.
3. Apologies for the slow build.
4. My writing skills are limited. Please keep discussions and exchanges friendly.
Theme: In a shonen manga, all you need is friendship, hard work, and dreams!
