さよなら絵梨 [Sayonara Eri] by Tatsuki Fujimoto, Tatsuki Fujimoto

Ah a good cry...just what I needed.

So Yuta was given a smart phone by his mother to film her before she passes away. Through the first 1/4th of we see this young boy film away until his mother does pass away but before we see her final moments the film he was creating ends in an explosion. He shows this movie to his fellow students at school and they laugh and make fun of him. So he thinks about killing himself when he meets a young girl name Eri, in which he then turns to create a new movie.

This deals with very heavy themes. Mainly grief, loss, and suicidal tendencies. It also focuses on creation, and hoe we strive to show our work while also being loved. And it's through the creation of his second product he tries to find love. Many twist and turns, perception being the biggest thing, till the end where it hits you like a ton of bricks. This is a MUST read and might be my favorite work from this creator who has now proven himself multiple times he can create magic with his words/art. A 5 out of 5.
