Synopsis

Suffering from a terminal illness, Yuuta's mother asks him to film her last moments, which he does. From her radiant smile when she is with her family to the times when sickness ravages her body in the hospital, he records hours upon hours of footage. After her passing, Yuuta compiles her life into a movie to screen at his school, deciding to add a bit of fantasy to the ending of his film, Dead Explosion Mother, with a literal explosion!

Following the backlash caused by his supposedly tone-deaf portrayal of his mother's death, Yuuta trudges to the hospital roof to take his own life—but there, he meets a girl named Eri. Captivated by his film, Eri requests Yuuta to make a new one that will blow the previous out of the water and prove his critics wrong. The movie they set out to make will stand apart by blurring the line between fact and fiction. And of course, it wouldn't be a Yuuta film if it didn't have his personal flavor—just a dash of fantasy.

This is one of the greatest one shots I have ever read. It takes one of unique styles to tell a compelling story. We get to see Tatsuki Fujimoto insane ideas and a glimpse of his storytelling prowess. From chapter one it should hook you in with its unique storytelling and introduction. Sayonara Eri is meta of meta made by movie loving manga artist. One of the greatest traits of this manga is its panelling. Man Fujimoto is indeed a genius in terms of how he wants to tell a story. We can see his paneling are inspired by movies and you guess, it legit ...

I believe that for a manga of this length, it is overly complicated so much so that the topics the autors tries to tacle become almost a parody of their real life counterparts. In the end you are almost left to decide whether everything or nothing really burdened the life of our protagonist and thus the story looses all of its weight because you can't base the story on any concrete truth. For some this might be great but for me it's keeping the story so vague that you might find deeper meaning where there is none to find.

And I can't really agree with statements ...

This manga is kind of a metafiction, a bad one, however. The plot is absurd just for the sake of it, with the weightless and poorly thought out twists being the worst. Art is nothing to write home about. I'd even say it's lazy, given how like 10 panels in a row have the same background, with only bubble text changing. I mean, yeah, artistic decision and whatnot, except the conversations are also dull. It's either pretend humor or make-believe philosophy. Characters are bland, no progression whatsoever. No real comedy or drama. No romance either.

All it has is uniqueness. Read if you are new to ...
