Moderate: Death of parent and Terminal illness

Content warning elaboration (Moderate "Death of parent" & "Terminal illness" - Not a huge spoiler, information from the first few pages, spoilering regardless):

The protagonist's mother is revealed to have an illness likely to kill her, which she dies to very early on in the book. This especially comes back to relevance with a twist in the 3rd act, and is quite inescapable in the overall story. A large theme overall is how you remember lost loved ones, and the relative permanence of memory in contrast with the fragility of life

Tatsuki blends the medium of manga and film, creating a very unique work. He plays with time and perspective while exploring grief and memory. At times absurd and heartbreaking.

Okay, firstly, this is a tearjerker, NOT an action-packed fantasy like Chainsaw Man like I was expecting, and I loved it.

This was a heartbreaking read and I was definitely crying throughout the majority of the book. The reflections on death, dying, grief and memory were so unique and beautiful, I want a copy of this for myself so I can go back, re-read, and contemplate living with dying.
