Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Is Gojo Like That?

When she was ten, Tsuchimikado Keshi saw the person hailed as the strongest in Jujutsu Society.

"You little worm. What are you looking at?" The boy didn't turn around. He only left her with those cold, arrogant words.

From that day on, she swore she'd make that brat pay!!!

Every day after that, she trained relentlessly, all so she could one day trample that condescending man underfoot.

At seventeen, she finally got into Jujutsu High. On her very first day, she got into a fight with Satoru Gojo.

Afterward, she declared, "So much for the strongest."

Satoru Gojo's impression of the new junior at Jujutsu High: cold, arrogant, full of herself, and a violent maniac. She fit his stereotype of a wicked rich girl perfectly.

And yet, someone this awful was adored by everyone at Jujutsu High.

Masamichi Yaga: "Keshi is the most satisfactory student I've ever taught."

Shoko Ieiri: "Keshi? She's a rare kind of junior. I really like her."

Kento Nanami: "Keshi is someone I can trust with my back. I have faith in her."

Yu Haibara: "Keshi is amazing. I need to work hard to keep up with my classmates!"

His best friend: "Keshi-chan is such a sweet junior. Gojo, stop being unreasonable."

Come on, all of you, get a grip! There is no way that brat is this cute!

A few things to know:

1. The leads are the same age, and the main story starts when they're seventeen. This isn't a tragic romance. Gojo is already miserable enough in the manga, so let's let him be happy in fanfiction.

2. The heroine is stronger early on. After the Star Plasma Vessel Incident, Satoru Gojo has a slight edge.

3. The endgame pairing is Satoru Gojo, though there are a few unrequited crushes along the way.

4. My writing skills are limited, but I'll do my best to keep everyone in character. Enjoy!
