Nanami Kento, "The Life to Leave Behind"
The world demands everyone to give and give till there is nothing left of them. Nanami Kento sees this.
He passes by them every single day; workers who fall asleep on the benches at midnight after missing their bus, children who stay until late hours for optional club duties, who pull themselves out of campus for another non compulsory cram school until twilight strikes. He's seen parents, too, who juggle a life of responsibilities and their own forgotten needs.
Kento finds it all so exhausting.
Isn't that a bit pitiable? A fourteen-year-old feeling exhausted about other people's problems and conflicts. He shouldn't even worry about depressing things like those, but fourteen-year-olds like him can't help but do so.
It all started with one glimpse of a monster on his mother's chest. Soon, he sees his younger self standing outside an empty home, holding onto his father's hand.
Kento realizes then that he sees it. The manifestation of everyone's exhaustion. The creation of people's despair that slowly weighs them down until nothing is left.
He refuses to let it affect him too.
Why should he stay and do anything more than what is necessary? If it leads to a literal monster dragging him down to depths far too deep from what is natural, then he might as well just live without sacrificing more than he has to. Why should he reduce himself to a mere shell drained of life like the way his family did to themselves?
Then he's found by a weird organization.
They called themselves 'school' for 'jujutsu sorcery'. He called the police on them.
These are adults encroaching on a middle schooler randomly by the sidewalk. Telling him about jujutsu, curses, and how he has a potential never seen before—they keep repeating this line even as he watches them get taken for interrogation.
As weird as they were, everything they said made sense. Annoyingly so.
One morning he unlocked an unknown memory of his own abilities—the staff member, who came back and told him about the school, called them 'cursed techniques—and the next, he'd gotten approval from his father to attend said-weird school.
It's a situation Kento can't really let himself decline. So he readies himself to continue a different life.
To ignore, to avoid—until he becomes a sorcerer, Kento vows himself to pay less attention to everyone's 'curses'. He is not charity. He is not a savior. He is just a boy trying to make sense of a world that demands too much and offers too little.
One day, he stumbles upon a peculiar scene.
Outside the school gym of the senior building, he finds a plethora of curses.
That is the first time a curse has gotten inside his school.
Kento learned that every major place in Japan is given talismans to prevent the influx of curses. Hospitals, cemeteries, and schools alike. That's why it comes as a shock for him to see not just one, but five of them within the school grounds
