Tatsuki Fujimoto’s ‘Goodbye, Eri’ One-Shot Wins Over Fans on Debut

The Chainsaw Man manga might be on a break, but its creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto, is not. Ever since the manga’s first season ended, Fujimoto-sensei has planned and released some one-shot manga to keep his audience entertained.

His latest release is “Goodbye, Eri” which will leave you wondering about today’s world and our bizarre everyday lives.

The “Goodbye, Eri” one-shot manga was published on the Shonen Jump+ app on April 11. This 200-page manga will puzzle you multiple times, but the ending holds a special place in my heart.

You can read the manga on the Shonen Jump+ app or website and the MANGA Plus service. Both the links have been given right here:

The manga starts in a very bizarre manner as a young boy, Yuta, is asked by his dying mother to film her last moments. It seems a bit too much as he shoots hundreds of hours of footage. Slowly we realize that he actually edited the videos to hide his mother’s abusive nature.

A majority of the one-shot is actually shown from the perspective of a blog video. There has been an increasing emergence of blog videos of everyday lives on social media websites. Thus, the manga resonates with the reality of our world where people are prone to seeing everything via lenses.

As the story progresses, we can see that the protagonist’s power of editing will serve as a major focal point. Just like how you can’t believe all videos on the Internet, Yuta’s movies cover up the truth to create a fake reality.

Once again, Fujimoto-sensei has delivered a mind-blowing work. His last one-shot, Look Back, topped the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2022 list for male readers, and I have high expectations from Goodbye, Eri as well.
