Tatsuki blends the medium of manga and film, creating a very unique work. He plays with time and perspective while exploring grief and memory. At times absurd and heartbreaking.

Okay, firstly, this is a tearjerker, NOT an action-packed fantasy like Chainsaw Man like I was expecting, and I loved it.

This was a heartbreaking read and I was definitely crying throughout the majority of the book. The reflections on death, dying, grief and memory were so unique and beautiful, I want a copy of this for myself so I can go back, re-read, and contemplate living with dying.

I love fujimoto. All of his stories are batshit crazy. This one is no exception. He messes with your mind.

Amazing paneling, creative story and overall mind-blowing! 

Goodbye, Eri
