"Jujutsu Kaisen" Fanpare Mart Jujutsu High School Branch Now Hiring Opening Staff, Sparks Discussion Over Low Wages for Specialized Work [April Fools']

An April Fools' campaign announcing a major hiring drive for opening staff at the "Fanpare Mart" Jujutsu High School branch has been released by the official X account of "Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade (Fanpare)," and has become a hot topic among fans.

The post highlights key recruitment points such as "Starting at 1,121 yen per hour," "Uniforms/cursed tools provided," and "Special Grade/Grade 1 sorcerers and those who can use Reverse Cursed Technique are welcome!" It calls out with phrases like "The best everyday life, with a Special Grade product lineup" and "We look forward to receiving your applications!"

The attached image depicts Yūji Itadori (CV: Junya Enoki), Megumi Fushiguro (CV: Yūma Uchida), and Nobara Kugisaki (CV: Asami Seto) wearing the uniforms and aprons of the convenience store "Fanpare Mart." The job recruitment poster features the catchphrase "Always, at the curtain." along with detailed recruitment information. The shifts are listed as "Shift consultation available depending on cursed spirit occurrence," conditions include "Negotiable for incarnated individuals with modern common sense," and even "Transportation by auxiliary managers available," reflecting unique content that mirrors the world of the series. The figure of Kiyotaka Ijichi (CV: Mitsuo Iwata) can also be seen as "Senior Employee Mr. I."

Additionally, in a separate post, planned products for sale are introduced, including "Black Flash Fanpare Noodles" featuring Itadori with a beaming smile in front of ramen, and "Fanpare Dairy Fruit Milk" depicting Satoru Gojo happily savoring fruit milk. The fruit milk's capacity is 299ml, which may be a reference to Gojo defeating approximately 1,000 transfigured humans in 299 seconds during the battle of the "Shibuya Incident."

"Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade" is the first smartphone game application based on the hugely popular anime "Jujutsu Kaisen." Not only can players relive the story of the TV anime with beautiful graphics and full voice acting, but the game also features an original story set at the Fukuoka branch school. Players can assemble familiar characters and enjoy a strategic command-based battle RPG where they exorcise cursed spirits using each character's cursed techniques.

In response to this post, various reactions have been shared on social media, such as "Don't exploit such elites for 1,121 yen," "Using them for opening staff is way too luxurious (lol)," "Uniforms and cursed tools provided, plus Special Grade and Grade 1 welcome—well, that makes sense ww," "Even consideration for incarnated individuals lol," and "Always at the curtain is honestly too loud."
