Yuta Okkotsu and his childhood friend, Rika Orimoto, make a promise to get married to each other when they grow up. However, Yuta witnesses a traffic accident involving Rika. This accident ultimately leads to Rika’s death. Rika becomes an apparition, and Yuta longed for his own death after suffering under her curse. The greatest Jujutsu sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, soon welcomes him into Jujutsu High.
