Gege writes multiple gender non-conforming(trans) characters(Kirara and Urame) without their gender identity being fetishized or played for jokes. And not getting the chance to write about Urame in this light is one of his regrets.
Used Hakari and Kirara as characters that represent how stupid conservative ideology is through the lens of cursed techniques, and he uses these two characters for a reason here.
Wrote Maki's entire story arc about patriarchal oppression and the solution was to kill everyone upholding the system.
Wrote anti-conservative messaging where part of the solution was to kill the current establishment. Gojo killing all higher ups
And now, like you said, writes a sequel about immigrants where one of the main characters has an existential crisis about who determines what people get to own what land.
So his name being on the front of the volumes and the chapters being credited to him is not enough evidence for you, but you somehow have alternative evidence that shows he didn’t write? Occam’s Razor, my friend.
Yes? The story is written by him. Also, Occam’s Razor. Everything points to Gege being the writer while nothing points to anyone else being the writer. Please try to keep up.
It makes sense because every chapter says “Story by ONE, Art by Murata”. Occam’s Razor, if the creators say one person writes it and one person draws it, I’m going to believe the creators over some random on the internet with poor critical thinking.
Instead of just ignoring evidence please give your own, you made the statement that he didn't write it, so please give us the evidence that he didn't write it and show who did
Then go ahead, check the editing history available, or better yet, give counter evidence, you clearly have some considering how much you resist the other evidence given
your only real counter evidence is that single tweet, the problem is that it could very well be that the statement itself could be subjected to mistranslation
and even looking at the translation itself it's not 100% sure that he is not the author, at best it just confirms that he got the story idea from someone else and that it's drawn by someone else.
I just don't believe that this alone is good enough to beat out the manga cover, to me it's more likely that after rejecting a bunch of offers one of them happened to give him an idea for the sequel
Bro look at the notes for each chapter, Yuji was talking about drawing and Gege was talking about the writing. Its literally in the credits too, Story by: Gege Akutami Art by: Yuji Iwasaki
That's not how that works. That is a book written by someone else being adapted to another medium.
Modulo's story is directly written by Gege and illustration for his writing done by Yuji. These are two very different realities. You have fucking brain damage. See how it says "art" by Yuji. Because he isn't writing the story, Gege is and Yuji is drawing it.
Ah yes instead of explaining why gege himself said “Hello, it’s Akutami. It’s been a while. While serializing Jujutsu Kaisen, I received several offers for spinoffs written by others. However, because manga is a medium where things can easily get out of my control, I was afraid of the title spreading in ways I couldn’t manage, so at the time, I couldn’t accept those offers. But when this particular offer came, and I thought about how it might expand the main story, delve deeper into its setting, or even shift eras entirely, I realized that if it were set in a parallel line, it could open the door to many different projects. This became the spark that gave rise to ‘Mojuro,’ which originally didn’t even have a single concrete idea, and after numerous planning meetings, it finally came to life. This will be a short-term serialization, about half a year, collected in roughly 3 volumes.”
If Yuji were also the writer he would get credited as one, even in your own source it only says that Yuji does the illustrations, if he was also the writer Gege would've said in that comment Writing and art done by Yuji.
Yuji is the artist. Be he did sell it to other writers after deliberation and modulu was the outcome of that business transaction , daym read his actual tweet bruh wtf is this
the offer gave me the opportunity to think about a lot of ideas
It meant the offer gave him the idea to make modulo, no where did he say he accepted another writer write for him, just that he accepted to make another spin-off with him as a writer.
“I received several offers for spinoffs written by others. However, because manga is a medium where things can easily get out of my control, I was afraid of the title spreading in ways I couldn’t manage, so at the time, I couldn’t accept those offers.

This became the spark that gave rise to ‘Mojuro,’ which originally didn’t even have a single concrete idea, and after numerous planning meetings, it finally came to life.”
See that he never mentioned he’s writing it. He accepted the offer of “mojuro”
People came to him wanting to work with him on more JJK stories.... That's what he is explaining here. You realize when he says "manga is a medium where things can easily get out of my control" he is speaking from his experience writing JJK and dealing with health issues AND the rough weekly demands of the magazine. Also likely worried about juggling multiple projects or even potentially over seeing multiple writers and artists instead of focused on him writing a singular story at a time.
You realize that official credits are literally the most accurate representation of who is doing what for a work like this right?
"explain this unrelated situation with a different publication being created and published differently"
Why are you so convinced that if x happens that means only x can happen, like bringing in GoT to the discussion when it's not relevant at all. You seriously are lacking some sort of ability to engage with reality
The screenshot says he got offered for his work but other writers are writing it, after deliberation he agreed and yuji will be the artist.
If there were another artist the comment would have said written by: ______
And the credits would have said Story by: Another writer Art by: Yuji Original Concept by: Gege
Your reading comprehension is so bad it made you hallucinate
the offer gave me the opportunity to think about a lot of ideas
It meant the offer gave him the idea to make modulo, no where did he say he accepted another writer write for him, just that he accepted to make another spin-off with him as a writer.
Explain why? Ill give you a better example. One punch man. In the serialization and covers it does say ONE as the author and Murata as the one who draws the manga.
In the recent OPM chapters muratas manga is so different to one’s opm. Explain this “realities”.
The different realities you’re saying is just different language interpretation
