Goodbye, Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto
3.0
Thank you NetGalley and VIZ media for on eARC of Goodbye, Eri
To quote Harry Styles "You know, my favorite thing about the movie is, like, it feels like a movie." Am I slightly confused? Yes. Am I intrigued? Also yes.
Fujimoto really loves to toe the line of being edgy for the sake of being edgy. The beginning feels odd with the suicide revenge plot line. ( I can write a whole thesis on why I hate this being used in media ) It left me slightly uncomfy, but that's usually the case with some of Fujimoto's work. My issue is sometimes I can't tell if he's using it as social commentary or inserting his genuine opinions. This isn't a hate letter, I really like Chainsaw Man. But I totally get why some people don't.
I did like the story overall. The artwork and paneling is also great. It's awesome that it is drawn like a documentary. The Michael Bay ending caught me off guard and totally made me laugh.
Do I recommend it? Sort of. Obviously check trigger warnings first cause this one is tough.
