Goodbye, Eri ( さよなら絵梨, Sayonara Eri ) (2022) — Published in Shōnen Jump+ and collected in one volume Not that that’s a bad thing - I’m ok with both, so long as it’s balanced, which it is for the most part - but Fujimoto is a very hands-off storyteller, writing the bare minimum and relying heavily on the imagery to tell his stories for him. It’s laudable - I think that’s the way comics storytelling should be done to some degree - but in the case of the second half of the story, it’s unclear what’s going on or why. It took me a few re-reads to figure out what Fujimoto was doing but I got it, though whether you believe it happened or not is up to the reader. Yes, it’s one of those “impressionistic” endings where you have to figure out for yourself what happened - I don’t dislike those but I know some readers detest them so be warned.

The story is an emotional journey. It kinda leaves you heartbroken and satisfied at the same time, as with Fujimoto's other works.

The remainder of the story is centered on Fujino dealing with the grief of losing Kyomoto. After earning money from their one-shot, Fujino treats Kyomoto to a day out in the city, bringing her to places she never had the courage to visit due to her agoraphobia. The montage ends with the two returning home on a train, with Kyomoto thanking Fujino for bringing her out of her room. they become rivals at first and soon friends, working together to create, bringing joy to each other through their company and creations. nonetheless this is not an equal friendship! kyoumoto adores fujino, and is almost fully dependent on her in the beginning. slowly she gains more and more independence, and as she does seem to have found her independence Fujimoto really went out on this one (well it is a one-shot after all). I feel like I don't even need to explain. The shades fits so well with the aesthetic and I absolutely love it. 10/10 without a doubt. Fujino and Kyomoto have another one where they are shown having fun creating their manga one-shots and going on trips with their newly earned money, eventually culminating in the fateful news of Fujino being serialized that would soon tear them apart due to differing life goals.

Creator Thumbprint: Fujimoto's love of movies and especially the movie theater experience makes its obligatory appearance when Fujino and Kyomoto's day out in the city includes going to the movies. Creator Cameo: Fujimoto's editor and partner-in-crime Shihei Lin can be spotted having left a comment of praise on Fujino and Kyomoto's first one-shot. fitting for the manga format, what the main characters, fujino and kyoumoto, interestingly sharing kanjis with the mangaka fujimoto himself, create is manga. And I thought to myself at this point halfway through the book “Holy Shit, what is Fujimoto going to do with this?” And what he does is some of the most impactful visual storytelling I’ve ever read. a b c 第66回 小学館漫画賞が 決定いたしました!![66th Shogakukan Manga Award – It has been decided!!] (PDF) (in Japanese).

Porque a veces no es solo un sueño o deseo personal, también es otro el que te abre los ojos y te da las alas para que sigas en pie, para que nunca te rindas, para que te superes y sobre todo, para que sigas creando una y otra vez, sin parar, por mucho que caigas en algún momento. Ese amor, ese cariño del otro a lo que tú haces o quieres ser es el más inmenso obsequio que te pueden regalar.
