A perfect distillation of everything Fujimoto is as a person and as an author. Lines are drawn not only on paper, but between people as well. A relationship born from a shared passion for a craft ends up being even deeper than you ever thought it could get. Love for art, that translates into love for people, but also loss, grief and needing to move on.
But was it truly the craft that I had passion for, or was it for you? Would I had loved my time as much as I did if you weren't there with me?
And what will I do when you are not here anymore?
One of the greats when it comes to coming of age stories. Doesn't pull any punches and I had to wait a long while before being able to write anything about it. If that doesn't tell you enough about Tatsuki Fujimoto, I don't know what does.
