10/10! Full Marks! 100,000 Points! 💖🌟 I laughed, I cried, and I was gagged several times while reading this manga! 😆 This will definitely go on my list of books I think everyone should read at some point in their life! It’s fascinating the way Fujimoto blurs the lines between fiction and reality. Just when you think you know what’s going on and where the story’s going you find out that you actually don’t. 

There is such interesting commentary on life, death, the way we chose to remember the ones we lost, and how sometimes the memories we chose to keep and the way we view people through those memories blur the lines between reality and fiction. I’m not gonna say anymore than that though because I think everyone should go into this manga blind and experience it for themselves. ❤️🩵🩶🤍

I enjoyed the art and plot of Goodbye, Eri immensely. The manga depicts the story of Yuta, a teen who receives a smart phone for his birthday and is instructed to record the life - and death - of his terminally ill mother.

After she passes, his premiere of the movie he made is not well received, causing others to bully and alienate him. He is about to end his life when he is stopped by Eri, a classmate who enjoyed his film and encourages him to make another, with her as the star this time around.

I would recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys works depicting serious topics and emotions, as well as ambiguous plots and endings.

i'm a fan of fujimoto's works and this new one-shot is no exception to that. i love how he manages to portray so much in such a small story. the characteristic that stood out to me the most from this one-shot was how the line between what Yuta records and what his actual life is like is so blurred that you can't  really tell when it is true to his story.

also the way we as readers unlock the real personalit of yuta's mother is really tragic, going from knowing her how Yuta forced himself to remember her to what she actually was like through yuta's father cry for forgiveness is an impressive use of the whole movie making theme that the manga uses as a storytelling  element.

apart from the storyline itself the art is beautiful, the panels when yuta records eri are mesmerizing and fujimoto's art style  is so recognizable throughout  it all. if anyone is looking for a short yet impactful story to read fast I would definitely  recommend this
