Synopsis

Fourth grader Ayumu Fujino regularly draws four-panel manga for her school newspaper and is lauded as having the best artwork in her class. One day, she is asked by her teacher to turn over one of her manga slots in the school newspaper to a truant student named Kyomoto. When Kyomoto's manga pops up alongside Fujino's, it receives high praise for its detailed artwork, making Fujino furiously jealous.

Refusing to be beaten by someone who barely attends school, Fujino devotes herself to learning to create manga. As time goes on though, her goal of outshining Kyomoto seems to only get further and further away; and Fujino, now in sixth grade, eventually gives up and quits making manga.

Graduation day arrives, and Fujino is asked to deliver Kyomoto's graduation certificate to her. Through chance, the two end up coming face to face, and their unexpected meeting will end up having consequences far beyond what either of them could ever predict.

What a ride.

Regret is a theme that's always hit hard for me. That feeling of wishing you said those words or spent more time with the people you cared about before it was too late. The realization that any resentment and pettiness you had towards them was fucking stupid in the grand scheme of things.

Fujimoto expresses that idea through the endearing relationship between the story's two leads and the sobering inspiration from real-life experiences and events. Tying it all together with creative paneling and a polished flow.

It's short and bittersweet. Amusing and depressing. Contemplative.

I enjoyed it a lot and definitely recommend it.

WTF is this and why is it even getting so high rating?

well to begin with the rating is due to the name tatsuki fujimoto (mangaka of chainsaw man which was very good) and not because the story is good or any thing ,to be honest it took me 20 minutes to read it completely and i cant feel a thing like why is such a story even being published , the story is so straightforward and simple and have literally nothing good in particular.
The artwork is decent, the theme is actually good but not extraordinary and the story is just fine.

overall there is nothing bad ...

Spoiler
this is the first manga i've read by fugimoto (on the recommendation of a friend), and this manga seemed extremely rushed to me, either because of the relationship of the characters and the ending seemed to lack ideas so anything will do, can it happen that some crazy person invades a college and wants to kill the people inside? yes, it can, this unfortunately happens in our reality, but for me this in a story in an abrupt way was the last nail in the coffin that made me hate this manga.
i started to hate fujimoto's works because of this manga, i didn't like his ...
