one can do the utmost effort to explain it to others without ever making them feel half the way one does. Unless, of course, you're a genius like Fujimoto. We know him for his weird scenes, crazy humour, great storytelling and his often depressing stories... so this feels, at least for me, new. Personal. In the Style of: Analysis of the one-shot has drawn comparisons to the works of Inio Asano, a mangaka well-known for his own somber Coming of Age stories filled with tragedy. history: to be honest I have seen movies and animes with similar stories, you lose a person you loved but his last moments with that person were very bad and the fact of knowing that you could never say goodbye to that precious being can be painful, normally this makes me It would make me sad but apart from the fact that it is Comic Natalie (in Japanese). Natasha, Inc. Archived from the original on December 14, 2020 . Retrieved January 9, 2021. 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.

Fujino was driven to improve her art out of jealousy for Kyomoto's own skills, only to discover to her internalized delight that Kyomoto was essentially her biggest fan just as she had decided to quit drawing. This pushes her to seriously pursue a career in manga.After realising this was about precocious high schoolers discovering the joy of creating manga together, I was expecting a Bakuman-style comic - and if that was all we got, I wouldn’t have minded because that first volume of Bakuman at least is amazing. But I appreciated that Fujimoto took his story in a wildly different direction in the second half, even if he did so in a very clunky way. Just Listen to the Song ( フツーに聞いてくれ, Futsū ni Kiitekure, "Listen to Me Normally") (2022) — Illustrated by Oto Tōda; published in Shōnen Jump+

Fujimoto's second major serialized work, Chainsaw Man ( チェンソーマン, Chensō Man), was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 3, 2018, to December 14, 2020. [29] [7] The series was collected in eleven tankōbon volumes. [30] [31] A sequel to the series began its serialization in Shōnen Jump+ on July 13, 2022. [32] [33] Chainsaw Man topped Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list of best manga of 2021 for male readers [34] and earned Fujimoto the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award for Best Shōnen Manga. [35] [36] [5] In 2021, the manga won the Harvey Awards for Best Manga; [37] it won the award for the second time in 2022; [38] it won the award for the third time in 2023. [39]The biggest gripe I have is the character designs. Fujino and Kyomoto look slightly different as kids because they have different hair-dos but otherwise are identical. Then there’s the time jump and it’s not immediately clear who we’re following, particularly as they now look like the other character but aren’t. Fujimoto is a gifted artist but he really needs to make his characters more distinct than simply giving one slightly longer hair than the other, particularly if you’re then going to give a different character the exact same cut as the other character later on down the line! It’s so unnecessarily confusing. I don't how much of this story is inspired by personal experience from Fujimoto. But it sure as hell made me wonder...

Along with illustrator Oto Tōda, Fujimoto published the one-shot Just Listen to the Song ( フツーに聞いてくれ, Futsū ni Kiitekure, "Listen to Me Normally") on Shōnen Jump+ on July 4, 2022. [33] Influences [ edit ]Lady Looks Like a Dude: Fujino and Kyomoto both dress and look very androgynous when they're young (their grade school apparently doesn't have uniforms). One could easily assume either was male until they're shown in female clothing, which for Kyomoto takes nearly half the oneshot's length. Friendship, art, and the inherent repercussion we have on other people's lives sound like totally random themes to group together, that is until Fujimoto strings them into a compelling one shot that, as much of his work, cuts right to the tenderest parts of one's heart. a b 「チェンソーマン」初の小説版発売、「藤本タツキ短編集 22-26」も.
