Thoughts: I honestly love this book, I think it is a well written magna and I also love the semi realistic art style. If you love fast paced emotional manga with a pinch of fantasy I think that you should check out this manga. There is more I want to say about the magna but I’m tired so maybe later.

Summary:

Yuta’s a tween whose mom is dying, for his 12th birthday he gets a smartphone and his mother requests that he film her to her last days so that he can “remember her” Yuta agrees.

So Eri and Yuta watch movies after school and the weekends and overtime they become friends,Eri tells to make a outline and give helpful criticism for his last movie when Eri and Yuta are watching a movie were Yuta comes up story were the protagus is given a smartphone by his dying mom a told to film her and the protagus makes it into a movie were he is trashed for it so the wounded protagonist goes to end it all when he meet a vampire girl and is abducted by this vampire girl think that his is going to be killed but instead she makes him watch movies and then the protagonist and the vampire girl make a movie where she is dying, Eri Aggures that this is a good story idea and has decided to be the dying vampire girl and Yuta tell Eri that he is going to film her and his dad having dinner and Eri is being filmed and asked questions about being a vampire and Eri is in the hospital when she is sent a poo video by Yuta , then has an heart to heart to Yuta after the video and life goes on for Yuta until his dad comes in and shows him her final montent and that when we find out that Yuta mom had been verbally and emotionally abusing Yuta over the film. Yuta's dad apologized over not interfering in what Yuta mom was doing to Yuta, after that talk with his dad Yuta asked Eri if he can record her every move which she agrees to and we see snippets of Eri's life. We watch as Eri deteriorates until we see her final moments. When he presented this movie to his high school everyone was sad. Even though the movie was well received Yuta couldn't help but feel that something was wrong but gave up trying to find something wrong.

After talking to Eri for a little while, Yuta walks away from the exploding building.

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. ❤️🩵🩶🤍
