What is the Goodbye Eri manga about?

Goodbye Eri is a one-shot manga that is written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of the incredibly popular Chainsaw Man series. The manga tells the story of Yuta Ito, a high school student who receives a smartphone for his birthday from his terminally ill mother, who tells him to create a movie about her life and death.

After she passes away, Yuta edits and releases the movie about his mother’s passing, but the decision to end the film with the hospital where she died blowing up is met with intense criticism from his classmates.

Bullied and isolated, Yuta contemplates committing suicide from the roof of the hospital, but there he meets a young girl called Eri. She explains how she loved the movie about his mother and that she wants to join Yuta on his next film production.

The two decide to make a semi-realistic documentary about their lives, with Eri playing an immortal vampire in the leading role. In order to prepare for the film, the two binge every movie that they can get their hands on and become good friends.

However, Eri collapses one day at the beach where it is revealed that she is also terminally ill; depressed once again, Yuta needs to decide what to do about the movie the two are still filming…

Going into any more detail about the Goodbye Eri manga would be going too far into spoiler-territory, so where can you read the one-shot series for yourself?
