4.0

A unique story that explores how much of reality can be captured by a camera, and how we can use it to shape our memories of someone. I've also never seen a manga use the panels in this way before, mimicking the aspect ratio of a film. Very creative and engaging.

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. ❤️🩵🩶🤍

A beautiful piece of comedy-tragedy with just a pinch of fantasy.

An emotional rollercoaster that I did not want to get off from. 

Tatsuki Fujimoto’s recent oneshot strapped me in and took me on more twists and turns than I would have ever expected. To say this book was plot twist central is an understatement. 

The art of Fujimoto persists to be one of my all time favourites. With little to no dialogue, it adds emphasis on how talented and how hard working Fujimoto is with their art. Again, they have a way of  capturing character candidness that most manga artists are afraid to - there’s is beauty in ugliness and Fujimoto shows it.

I cannot recommend their works and stories enough. Give this manga a read!

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
