philibrarian 's review for:
Goodbye, Eri
by Tatsuki Fujimoto
Layered and straight to the point but without spelling anything out for the reader. The kind of book that invites analysis and rereads over and over again. The way that Fujimoto plays with perception and the art of screencraft through a manga lens is simply brilliant. This feels like a spiritual successor to Satoshi Kon's Opus, and I couldn't be more happy with it. The story is pretty straightforward and follows a middle schooler who is asked by his mother to record her life because she is going to die soon. From there the story expands in ways that force one to question what is real and left me thinking quite profusely about why we create and what it means to make such creations public.
