I enjoyed the art and plot of Goodbye, Eri immensely. The manga depicts the story of Yuta, a teen who receives a smart phone for his birthday and is instructed to record the life - and death - of his terminally ill mother.
After she passes, his premiere of the movie he made is not well received, causing others to bully and alienate him. He is about to end his life when he is stopped by Eri, a classmate who enjoyed his film and encourages him to make another, with her as the star this time around.
I would recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys works depicting serious topics and emotions, as well as ambiguous plots and endings.
