Satoru Gojo, a teacher at Jujutsu High, a school where aspiring exorcists learn how to resist Curses, notices Rika’s struggle since he is no ordinary Curse. Yuta is persuaded to enroll by Gojo, according to Mobile Newspepar

Yuta is possessed. His childhood friend Rika’s ghost has been following him since she perished in a road accident. Her spirit, however, does not resemble the sweet girl Yuuta once knew. Yuuta is powerless to stop the bloodshed that follows Rika’s cruel vengeance because she is unable to control her aggressive actions. 

As a result, when confronted with “Jujutsu” sorcerers, Yuuta wishes to be fully isolated so that no one else is harmed. Satoru Gojou, the master sorcerer who apprehended him, has other plans for him: he will enroll at Jujutsu High School and learn to control Rika in order to assist people.
