Like I said, it's simple yet amazing. The way this one-shot showed the main character's thoughts on her friend's death was incredibly realistic. Puting blame on herself, imagining a whole new path where her friend didn't die, overcome with grief. All of that was so well showed and I felt sadness after seeing the MC's imagination. the story starts out in elementary school with both of them publishing their works in the school newspaper. Perhaps you will, like me, feel like this is as close as perfection as a one shot (or manga in general) can be. 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).

Tatsuki Fujimoto ( Japanese: 藤本 タツキ, Hepburn: Fujimoto Tatsuki, born October 10, 1992, or 1993 [a]) is a Japanese manga artist, known for his works Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man. 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. Fujimoto strikes me as someone who is very in touch with himself and his emotions, and it shows in the way he expresses what he feels on paper. it is about regret and it is about dealing with these feelings of regret and coming to accept that the past can not be changed, no matter how hard one tries.

Forgotten Password?

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. Surprisingly Sudden Death: Kyomoto and 11 others at her art school are killed by a random act of violence by a delusional man halfway through the one shot. The remainder of the story is centered on Fujino dealing with the grief of losing Kyomoto. A two-volume collection of Fujimoto's previous one-shots, Tatsuki Fujimoto Before Chainsaw Man ( 藤本タツキ短編集, Fujimoto Tatsuki Tanpenshū, "Tatsuki Fujimoto's Short Stories"), subtitled 17–21 and 22–26, were released on October 4 and November 4, 2021, respectively. [47] [48] He illustrated the novel Chainsaw Man: Buddy Stories ( チェンソーマン　バディ・ストーリーズ, Chensō Man Badi Sutōrīzu), [49] published on November 4, 2021. [50] [48] Fujimoto illustrated a version of one of the forty-two volumes of the Dragon Ball manga for the Dragon Ball Super Gallery Project, celebrating the series' 40th anniversary, which was published in Saikyō Jump on December 3, 2021. [51] [52] So for those who wanted to avoid spoilers I'll say that the story was beautifully written and had many emotional scenes , so if you want to read a one shot ,it definetely worths your time short (it is an obvious one shot it must be short) but the fact of its duration meant that I did not fully enjoy the manga and the story, as I said, is something that I have already seen a lot in series, movies and anime so it didn't make me feel much, from the beginning I imagined where the story was going to go.

Retrieved October 17, 2023. In our transient life, we can only do so much. Will we end up with wishes about our past, about what we could have done differently? Of course. But sooner or later we must move on. This is a common theme, but in this work it’s expressed beautifully, not least because the story decided to portray what a person has already done as a source of motivation for the future. This review contains spoilers. Though the print version will be released 20 September 2022, the complete manga was available for free online throughout 2021. A review of the online edition was previously published on WWAC as well.

Statistics

The tankōbon volume sold 73,912 copies in its first week of release and 80,186 copies in the second, which placed it fourth and third, respectively, on Oricon's weekly manga chart. [12] [13] That's as far as I'll go for the story. I'll get into Spoilers later, and I'll let you know, but I wanted to keep talking about Fujimoto himself.
