"Heavy Hearted, Suffocating, Yet Beautiful"

I don't know how Fujimoto does it, but this makes me even more excited to see how Chainsaw Man Part 2 evolves. A simple one-shot that feels utterly heavy hearted, suffocating, yet beautiful to read.

"Fujimoto is a Genius"

Fujimoto is a genius.
Captured beautifully the struggle of wanting to be an artist, the childhood envy, the change of motivation, the drive, the pain and the beauty of chasing an impossible goal.
Look Back indeed, to all the artists, to look back.

Is so beautiful to read. pic.twitter.com/Ln74aiDF6v

"One of the Best Mangaka of this Generation"

Fujimoto is really one of the best mangaka of this generation, god I fucking love him.

This was such a genuine and sincere love letter to artists.
"Then why do you draw Fujino?"

As someone who's been helped so much by the stories of great artists, this hit so close to home. pic.twitter.com/rC8oOf6iNl
