Why do we need live-action with cosplays like this?
Jujutsu Kaisen is the work of Gege Akutami that presents us with a world full of curses, powers and sorcery. Unlike other works in the industry such as Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, this one is recognized for the way it treats its female characters who usually have a well-written background, development and take a leading role in the main story. This is why it is not surprising that there are artists like Momo Tomomoto who cosplay their female characters as Maki Zenin, the powerful sorceress who has faced some of the most powerful curses.
