I read through this in one sitting and I was questioning reality the entire time, because I didn't know what parts were in his "movie" or what parts actually were occurring in his life. But it was such an emotionally rich story about grief and asks readers to think about how they would want to be remembered.

Okay, firstly, this is a tearjerker, NOT an action-packed fantasy like Chainsaw Man like I was expecting, and I loved it.

This was a heartbreaking read and I was definitely crying throughout the majority of the book. The reflections on death, dying, grief and memory were so unique and beautiful, I want a copy of this for myself so I can go back, re-read, and contemplate living with dying.

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.
