Fans of Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto are excited after the recent discovery of a new web domain, “Eri-Movie.com.”

Many believe this could be an early hint at a future anime adaptation of Fujimoto's acclaimed one-shot manga, Goodbye, Eri.

While the domain's nameserver details are in line with those typically used for official anime project announcements, it is important to note that no official announcement has been made as of yet, and the possible film remains speculative at this point.

However, the fact that MAPPA CEO Manabu has previously stated that the studio's intention to adapt all of Fujimoto's worksaccompanied by Look back getting a highly acclaimed anime film adaptation (by Studio Durian), only strengthened the veracity of the speculation Goodbye, Eri anime adaptation.

Goodbye, Eri is a Japanese web manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It was launched on the Shonen Jump+ website in April 2022 and published in print in July 2022.

Viz Media and Manga Plus published the manga simultaneously with its Japanese release.

MAL describes the manga's plot as:

Suffering from a terminal illness, Yuuta’s mother asks him to film her final moments, which he does. From her radiant smile when she’s with her family to the moments when the disease ravages her body in the hospital, he captures hours and hours of footage. After her death, Yuuta compiles her life into a film to be shown at his school, deciding to add a bit of fantasy to the end of his film, Dead Explosion Mother, with a literal explosion!

After the backlash caused by his supposedly tone-deaf portrayal of his mother’s death, Yuuta walks to the hospital roof to take his own life – but there he meets a girl named Eri. Captivated by his film, Eri asks Yuuta to make a new one that will blow the previous one out of the water and prove his critics wrong. The film they set out to make will stand out for blurring the line between fact and fiction. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Yuuta film if it didn’t have his own flavor – just a dash of fantasy.
