The inciting incident that led to her focusing much of her childhood on her art was her anger that Kyomoto upstaged her in the school paper after enjoying success as their school's best artist. But the ending makes it clear that while she ultimately has zero passion for it, the happiness it brought Kyomoto and possibly others was what kept her going, which she does after coming to terms with Kyomoto's death.

In the face of real-life tragedy, Fujimoto shows Fujino doing what we all do when faced with circumstances like this and trying to imagine “what if?” What if I could have been there? What if I could have saved my friend? What if everything was different? And in this moment of pondering what if, Fujino and Kyomoto still bond over the manga they want to create but Fujino imagines their collaboration as something different. Instead of the austere images of the two working at the same desk and table day after day, with a repetition that speaks both to the loneliness and reverence of the act, this what-if partnership is drawn with an energy and a liveliness that both girls probably wanted but just weren’t ready for. Fujimoto’s drawings of this dream collaboration show two young women enjoying the work, enjoying each other, and sharing an energy and an excitement that was probably there in real life but just wasn’t able to be expressed. Es un manga precioso y valioso para todos aquellos que estudian o se dedican con pasión y entrega a aquello que les gusta, por mucho que reciban señalamientos, críticas y opiniones indeseables. Una historia que obviamente tiene un público específico al que le toca más el mensaje (no por nada su protagonista es dibujante de tiras de mangas). Sin embargo el público objetivo puede ser cualquiera porque al final las historias que inspiran y tienen mensajes de duelo, superación, crecimiento y la pasión por lo que haces siempre le pega a alguien en algún punto de la vida. Fujimoto was born on October 10, 1992, or 1993, [a] in Nikaho, Akita Prefecture, Japan. [5] He started drawing at an early age. He had no preparatory schools available near his home, so he went to painting classes in which his grandparents attended and practiced oil painting. [8] He graduated in Western painting from Tohoku University of Art and Design in Yamagata, Yamagata Prefecture in 2014. [9] Career [ edit ]

Only, rather than clinging to these sensitive little details, Fujimoto, himself perhaps still a teenager in his approach, cannot help slipping slightly down two slippery slopes: on the one hand, the one who thinks that t is absolutely necessary that a drama occur (as such, he probably went beyond the medium and its prerogatives less than he thinks), then, that of a pathos sometimes slightly too strong. Despite everything, a recommendable one shot, revealing the sentimental aspect of an author ostensibly more busy rolling mechanics. The second half of the book is a condensed retelling of the first. Exploring the earlier symbolism, this half focuses on Kyomoto. For the price of their childhood collaborations, Kyomoto’s life is saved by a Fujino who, having given up manga, focused on karate and uses those skills to prevent the massacre.
