I REALLY don't understand people calling this shounen "average". Itadori is the first protagonist I like in a while and Nobara and Fushiguro are such good deuteragonists! I LOVE the characters, we have little moments with them, but I felt attached, they grow so fast on you.
When you think it has a plot hole, the author writes a 180 and you realize that everything was planned. The manga is fast pace, but it gives you enough information for you to understand, and then in the later chapters it gives a few more pieces, and you see everything falling into place, it's beautiful. The author isn't afraid to use the tropes and that's what I like the most!
Do you ever felt that all Marvel movies are the same in their essence? Rom Coms? Slice of Lifes? BECAUSE THEY ARE, but do you know the difference between a good and a bad movie/series/anime of the same genre? The execution of its elements. That's what makes a good story these days, because, nowadays, almost all the stories have already been written, all the philosophies tested, what remains is a repetition of what works plus your own taste, and if you identify with the narrative, themes and characters, if they make you feel something. Even with it's tropes (the battle shounen ones), JJK KNOWS how to develop it's cliches, making it not "annoying" as others have said.
It's a trope of the genre and Jujutsu also has it, but in my opinion, it's not forced, it's realistic, not that sad, BUT BELIEVABLE, it makes sense in the world of JJK and the "realistic" vibe of the manga which is refreshing. That said, I like good characters and well-developed backstories like everyone else, but in recent mangas, I feel like it's more like: "which one is sadder than the other" just to make you empathize with the characters as fast ( KNY is an example). Akutami seems to just want to tell a good battle shounen, with some subtle comments on society, spirituality, and the meaning of death here and there. If it has good battles, lore, and characters what more do you want? Deepness? Well, not every story needs that, not every story is an Evangelion or Stein's Gates. But at the same time, I have seen these same criticisms in manga/animes like Naruto, HxH, BNHA but reversed that is: "it's slow, they take a long time to move the plot, and drag the characters development, etc." And I just don't understand people and what they want from a BATTLE SHOUNEN. The story has a lot of criticism here saying that it lacks "substance" and "The characters lack personality and development". I really don't understand what people expect from battle shounen these days.
