Gege Akutami is often known in the community for their trolling and witty comments about their characters and their hatred towards the strongest sorcerer of today, Gojo Satoru.

Jujutsu Kaisen began in 2018 and has been going on ever since, with the series expected to end in 2024 or early 2025, according to the author.

The manga had one of the highest sales of the year and the anime managed to grab a spot in the top 3 most-in-demand shows worldwide.

To keep in touch with fans as well as post comments at the end of the chapters, Gege uses a one-eyed cat to convey a message.

Many fans always wondered why the caricature of the mangaka has only a single eye and many even came up with popular theories.
