A unique story that explores how much of reality can be captured by a camera, and how we can use it to shape our memories of someone. I've also never seen a manga use the panels in this way before, mimicking the aspect ratio of a film. Very creative and engaging.

fast-paced

i'm a fan of fujimoto's works and this new one-shot is no exception to that. i love how he manages to portray so much in such a small story. the characteristic that stood out to me the most from this one-shot was how the line between what Yuta records and what his actual life is like is so blurred that you can't  really tell when it is true to his story.

also the way we as readers unlock the real personalit of yuta's mother is really tragic, going from knowing her how Yuta forced himself to remember her to what she actually was like through yuta's father cry for forgiveness is an impressive use of the whole movie making theme that the manga uses as a storytelling  element.

apart from the storyline itself the art is beautiful, the panels when yuta records eri are mesmerizing and fujimoto's art style  is so recognizable throughout  it all. if anyone is looking for a short yet impactful story to read fast I would definitely  recommend this
