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.
