| It's really up to the readers how they interpret it which is a great thing, people will have different opinion about it, so it's up to you how you interpret it |
| I think the part where Yuta goes back to the abandonned building as an adult wasn't part of a movie, as the framing wasn't cinematic at all, like it was throughout the entire manga but of course that's only my interpretation |

And the explosion in the end was just his way of leaving it all to the past? |
| it was a wild fiction all along to me. very epic for such a small story, leaving it all on the reader's interpretation |

DrkSeid69 said: I think it was, the last frame with explosion confirms it for me. So it was a movie with another movie inside (about Eri), which referenced previous movie (about the mom). Very meta but not overdone.was it all just a movie all along? |
DrkSeid69 said: was it all just a movie all along? That is exactly why is good, cuz we don't know and can intérpreted how we want to. Eri was his imagination all alone ? Eri was real but really died? Eri NEVER died and was the plot for the movie Eri was a vampire for real ,? The only thing we KNOW IS REAL is the mom movie. The abuse and the mocking for the screenplay. |
| What was missing all those years was explosions. That's it. People wanted him to make a movie, but he wanted to make it on his own terms. He didn't particularly care about making a legacy, he just wanted to make something cool. |
| When we saw Eri it came to me that Yuuta wasn't actually Yuuta, but his dad playing him. |
| Yes. idk why some people are saying it's left for interpretation. The entire manga was a movie (In universe) with an extremely meta narrative. I mean if the vampire and explosions didn't give it away, the older main character looking like the dad should have done the trick. |

| Yes, the entire thing is basically a framed narrative, each layer becoming progressively "wider": Layer 1: Dead Mother Explosion. Yuuta shoots Dead Mother Explosion, a movie about his terminally ill mother, which ends with her hospital exploding while she is dying. Layer 2: Goodbye Eri. Dead Mother Explosion is shown at the school festival to universal disapproval. Yuuta is determined to take his own life, but meets Eri, who gives him a new reason to live. Together, they shoot a second movie, Goodbye Eri, that he would show at next year's school festival. We find out (more on this later) that Yuuta's mother was actually very picky about what Yuuta recorded of her and how he did it, and cruel to him when he didn't get it right. Goodbye Eri is comprised of Dead Mother Explosion plus all the footage of Yuuta, Eri and Yuuta's parents—including footage (well, panels) you think is candid and/or was not planned to be shot. Layer 3: Sayonara Eri. The real Eri dies, Goodbye Eri is screened at the school festival to universal acclaim. However, Yuuta is unsatisfied with the finished product and becomes consumed with improving upon it, even after becoming an adult and creating his own family. Then, his family is killed in an accident, and he once again records a suicide note before going to hang himself in the abandoned building where he and Eri used to watch movies. He meets a young Eri there, who confesses to being an actual vampire and being content with having Goodbye Eri to remember her and Yuuta by. Once again dissuaded from committing suicide, Yuuta walks away from the building, which explodes. Layer 3 is basically the manga itself i.e. everything you, the reader, sees on the page. You are reading a collection of scenes that have been curated by its creator, picked beforehand to establish a particular narrative with twists and turns—just like how Layer 3's Yuuta constructs the narrative of the story between Layer 2's Yuuta and Eri. Layer 4: the artist. We do not see anything about this layer, but know that it's there because the finished product we are seeing (Layer 3) was put together by someone. However, we only see the result of this curating process, what was selected of "thousands of hours of footage" (i.e. many possible drafts), and nothing outside of it. Every new layer overturns something about the layer before it: how Yuuta painted a much better picture of his mother, how the explosion wasn't just because he "liked fantasy", and, of course, the revelations about Eri "actually" being a vampire. It is all built on twists, and each one announces a new layer. * I'm using Goodbye Eri to refer to the in-universe second movie, and Sayonara Eri to refer to the real-life manga. |
