This was my first manga & first buddy read with a couple of fellow mom’s on IG. It was a very interesting experience and I definitely need more practice at reading manga. For those of you who don’t already know – you start at the back of the book and to boil it down to extreme basics, you read backwards from what you normally would. It left me feeling a little like Alice while in Wonderland.
I believe that there are several ways to take this story and each of us had a little bit varied opinion on what we think actually happened. I won’t elaborate but I believe that after his first film Yuta carried through on the video footage he recorded of himself. I really enjoyed this thought provoking story and the artwork was really good. I’d like to thank @reading.with.tabby for recommending this one for our first group buddy read!

Great story that keeps you guessing what is real and what is not real.

"You guys... Did you know...? Life is beautiful, bright, and pure. To anyone considering suicide! Don't throw your life away! We all die one day. You should give life a try until your number comes up. Wishing you all well. This is Yuta, signing off. Thanks. Goodbye."
Cinema within a comic. Beautifully arranged, beautifully captured. Fujimoto has done it again!!!!
The twists were introduced in a very Fujimoto way, but they still left me appalled every time anyway. Kudos to him!
