Tatsuki Fujimoto is not a writer like the others. The mangaka released many oneshots before attempting serialization with Fire Punch and then managed to surprise everyone with it Chainsaw Man at the weekly Shonen jump, certainly his best-known work to date. But his career is far from over.
In fact, the mangaka is preparing Chainsaw Man Part 2, but Fujimoto has many ideas that he wants to put into action. One of these was Look Back, released last year; the second is instead Goodbye Eri, a long one-shot that was surprisingly announced in the last few days. Goodbye, Eri is actually 200 pages, almost unique for the self-contained chapters, and tells a very special story in which creation once again manages to overcome a loss. but what Goodbye is talking about, Eri, the new oneshot from the author of Chainsaw Man?
Yuta is a 12-year-old who films every moment of his mother’s life, who is now dying. The boy will spend days filming her and other scenes, however he won’t be able to film the last one afraid to leave the hospital. However, all the films are filmed and presented at the school during a festival, but nobody understands them. Only Eri is excited about this boy’s short film and will encourage him to improve by watching many films together.
So, Yuta will start filming these long sessions with Eri, and at the beginning of the project of a new film, he will decide to tell his story with this girl. Like Yuta’s mother, she too is about to die and wants to be immortalized and remembered. In a very long creative process, which will also include many explosions, in this very long cinematic one-shot, Yuta will overcome the drama of Eri and also accept the death of his mother with a pinch of imagination.
