I skipped "Chainsaw Man" and "Fire Punch" for this manga to see what I was getting myself into by reading Fujimoto's work, and wow!
Reading the description, I thought this was going to be another volume in the tear-jerker genre of manga ( think: Silent Voice ) but it had, as the protagonist describes it, "A pinch of fantasy"
The aspect of a story within a story, a clip that turns into a movie, and a girl that's a pretend vampire who then dies, but also might be a vampire?
Overall, a page-turner that puts the reader in a state of puzzlement almost placing yourself in the Yuta's shoes as the lines blur between what's real and what's on tape.

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

fujimoto is always making spunky stuff and I always love it. I really like how unique his work is. I really love most of all how goodbye eri ends, it is very sweet interesting :)
