262章嘛。

No spoilers to even be discussed for Jujutsu Kaisen's latest chapter, unless you count the reveal that Gege is sick, the story will only return 21 days later after this chapter, and this chapter ends in 6 pages as "spoilers."

So you too, huh, Gege? Tough week, tough days? A lotta stress, some quiet distress?

I know I jokingly gave this dude shit a few times before, especially when bantering with Crow, Sister, and Best Friend. It's fun! Gege is a fucking troll; shitting on him is part of the contract.

But...

I wonder how stressed out he had to be for this week. He made this colored page and the cover, meaning he wouldn't have been able to call in sick because he was supposed to bear the Shonen Jump flag this week. That's why he just presented 6 pages with the last looking pretty rough, innit? Figured he can't sit out of this week.

His last chapter was a bombshell, and I don't know—the wave it kicked up seemed more notorious than favorable, and though he could certainly bask in a certain level of infamy (uh hem, c236), I don't think c261 is similar. C236 was a pop culture phenomenon that was both infamous but also... chaotic fun? In a way? C261, though, lacked that other aspect, at least the way I saw it. A ton of people panned it, and he didn't really start another c236-style legendary meme.

Even if Gege were a troll, I don't think he wouldn't crack under continuous criticism, especially if they feel like threats and personal attacks rather than either serious critiques or something that one can, on some level, see as ribbing-within-the-context-of-the-story. Some people seem to even relish in making fun of his health concern this time, iono. That can't be something that has only happened right now.

If Gege were the type to have menstruation, I think his period would have stopped for this month out of sheer stress, haha. I wonder what his health issue could be... Did he faint, maybe?

I hope he's doing okay. Not because he's some mangaka who draws my favorite (and flawed) manga, or created my favorite (and flawed) biases (THANK YOU BRO), or because he's some celeb.

I hope he's resting well and getting better and has the financial means and resources to get appropriate medical help and has good people—friends or family or strangers or neighbors or his manga team etc.—to support him. Because Gege is just some dude, man. And all dudes, especially when sick, will need this.
