Gege Akutami
Born in 1992 in Iwate Prefecture. In 2014, Akutami began his professional manga career with
Kamishiro Sosa (God Age Investigation), but this cat's claws didn't make much of a mark.
As a child, Akutami habitually fibbed, filched food, broke things, and blamed the dog. Thus, when Akutami came home after actually getting hit by a car, no one believed him.
At the time of this writing, in 2019,
Jujutsu Kaisen was being serialized in
Weekly Shonen Jump. There seems to be a general consensus that it's been drawn in a style people have seen somewhere before.
Ballad Kitaguni
Born in 19×× in Hokkaido. In 2015, Kitaguni began pushing certain idiosyncrasies on the world with
Apricot Red.
One time in the summer, Kitaguni forgot that he had thrust a chocolate bar into a pocket that also contained a smartphone. When Kitaguni pulled out the phone later, it was dripping and gooey, causing an appalled friend to ask, "What did you just give birth to?!"
At the time of this writing, in 2019, Kitaguni was so absorbed in the
Jujutsu Kaisen graphic novels he was sent as reference material for this book that he ended up buying all the digital editions too.
