Sanderson’s three main components of story telling are characters, plot, and setting/world.

Examples of clearly character driven manga include most popular seinen (Berserk, Vagabond, VS, etc.)

An example of a clearly plot driven manga is Attack on Titan.

An example of a clearly world driven manga is One Piece.

What type of story is Jujustu Kaisen do you reckon?

I’m stuck between setting driven and plot driven. I think it’s clearly not character driven (not saying that there aren’t decent character moments or development in JJK - just that these are not presented as the primary focus of the story).

The argument for plot-driven comes from the fact that the story seems to be driven around major reveals/twists - the entirety of the Shibuya arc is a good example of it.

The argument for world/setting driven comes from the focus placed on the power system - which is inherently an aspect of setting.

Naruto 2.0 but done better.

Yuji is a better humble less annoying Naruto

Megumi is a cooler less emo Sasuke

Nobara is what Sakura wishes she could be

Gojo is a fan glorified Kakashi

Zenin clan are the Uchiha who get the genocide treatment for story purposes
