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.

It was my favorite manga Tatsuki Fujimoto's works. I don't know if I'm in the minority but for me, if I can find something from myself in a movie, book or manga, it makes it even more special and affects me more. It was exactly like that in Sayonara Eri. As someone who also read the Look Back, I don't remember feeling anything when I finished that manga but after finishing Sayonara Eri, it made me sit and think for a while..

First of all, the drawings, I knew Tatsuki Fujimoto's drawings would never upset me but in this manga, the man did wonders! The ...

Story – 5/10
Goodbye, Eri’s story is just average. It isn’t bad, but it just isn’t good per se. At a certain point, the story looked like it had reached its climax, with a sudden twist of faith that would have been great if it had actually been true. Instead, the story ended in a less fashionable manner. This story is a one-shot, and ...

This is absolutely ridiculous, can’t believe this shit is rated so highly. It tries way too hard to be “meta” but ends up feeling incredibly shallow. Everything it’s trying to convey — cherish time with your loved ones,” “don’t let others define you,” or “live life on your own terms” has been done countless times, and in much better ways. There’s nothing new or deep here; it’s all painfully obvious.

I expected something different or unique, but no, the characters just come off as trying to sound smart, like they’re these profound intellectuals, but to me, they just looked like they were high on drugs the ...
