i really loved the way fujimoto framed much of the story in sort of wide angle shots like viewing through the main characters camera, and how the line between reality and fantasy is blurred, especially at the end. i dont have the writing skills to explain all my thots and onions lol so whatever just read it

An emotional rollercoaster that I did not want to get off from. 

Tatsuki Fujimoto’s recent oneshot strapped me in and took me on more twists and turns than I would have ever expected. To say this book was plot twist central is an understatement. 

The art of Fujimoto persists to be one of my all time favourites. With little to no dialogue, it adds emphasis on how talented and how hard working Fujimoto is with their art. Again, they have a way of  capturing character candidness that most manga artists are afraid to - there’s is beauty in ugliness and Fujimoto shows it.

I cannot recommend their works and stories enough. Give this manga a read!

I skipped "Chainsaw Man" and "Fire Punch" for this manga to see what I was getting myself into by reading Fujimoto's work, and wow!
Reading the description, I thought this was going to be another volume in the tear-jerker genre of manga ( think: Silent Voice ) but it had, as the protagonist describes it, "A pinch of fantasy"
The aspect of a story within a story, a clip that turns into a movie, and a girl that's a pretend vampire who then dies, but also might be a vampire?
Overall, a page-turner that puts the reader in a state of puzzlement almost placing yourself in the Yuta's shoes as the lines blur between what's real and what's on tape.
