Goodbye, Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto

4.5

mysterious reflective medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

---

Goodbye, Eri is an art house movie in content as well as atmosphere. We're thrown in the middle of a story and Fujimoto let's us figure it out for ourselves. 

This is one of the most unique manga, and stories in general, I've ever read. I never thought I would see minimalistic, repetitive, and out of focus art as positive qualities. And still Fujimoto fits these seamlessly together in the most satisfying way imaginable. But that doesn't mean this story is style over substance. The vignettes of everyday life give us enough to ponder well after finishing (and probably immediately restarting) this manga. 

Goodbye, Eri is one of those pieces of media that feels like a fever dream in the best way possible. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique take on the manga genre.
