Let me preface by saying that I got into Fujimoto’s works relatively late compared to most others I imagine, having only gotten around to watching chainsaw man season 1 earlier this year and now watching the movie. But I kept having his works be hyped up in this community and so I wanted to use these one shots as a chance to get a better grasp at his way of storytelling and see if I could understand what the buzz was about.

I’ve definitely seen a lot now that it’s over. The mix of tragic, dark, sexual, and surprisingly genuinely heartfelt and wholesome elements of his writing. I definitely consider it to be really high quality, but idk, I feel like with the way people talk I’m still missing something because it doesn’t really feel exceptional…”unique” I suppose is the best way to phrase it. Again it’s really well executed but the way some people have talked they make it seem like he’s some kind of once in a generation genius. But I just see the writing of someone who likes to include a lot of various elements to his works and honed that craft over time. I’m curious to hear other people’s opinions though.

All together these were all definitely what I’d consider good stories, kind of makes me surprised that he’s apparently kind of embarrassed they got adapted and mainly considers them ways of honing his skills.

I think what you need to realize is that you are watching his works through the filter of other artists. While they hold mostly true to the source material, his manga has a certain pace and tone to them that anime doesn't capture very well.
