excellent, pity that tatsuki fujimoto devoured its soul to grow more powerful

Well, you don't get a reputation as a genius by not devouring souls.

Thinking of it, that may be part of the differences in theming between Downfall and Look Back, even aside from every writer being different and Fujimoto putting his work out for more all ages aimed magazines and sites.

Inio Asano is a success, as manga writers go, with well regarded series that sold millions of copies in total. Fujimoto, by contrast, is a full on phenom. Over a million copies a volume for a series in the biggest comic magazine in the world.

The petty jealousy over sales that defines Downfall's protagonist is alien to Fujimoto's career trajectory, and thus to the protagonists of Look Back. There's no idea that more success could compensate for tragedy, because success didn't prevent it.

I enjoyed that one-shot, thanks for sharing

Yeah, it felt like it was working in the same territory, but it didn't feel the need to be quite so over-the-top, so it landed better when it went for the hopeful ending.
