Kataude no Amy

Synopsis

At first glance, Amy appears to be a normal, young girl living with her father. However, she is actually a doll, built by her father to resemble the daughter he lost contact with decades ago. Even though he seems satisfied with his creation, the man still loves his real child dearly. As he takes his last breath one day, Amy sets out on a journey to find her father's beloved daughter in order to convey his true feelings. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Kataude no Amy is Akagi Shun's second release, with their first publically available project being Lyra to Mayonaka 3-ji no Daibouken that features a really simple yet cute and wholesome way of storytelling, and in which we can clearly see that way of writing being implemented into both of these oneshot, and while not being as good as the first one in my opinion, Kataude no Amy is still a nice and short read with wholesome and cute moments here and there, and it's a really emotional ride into the acceptance of self. The story itself is a really emotional ride, with each page flip beinganother experience that makes the readers fall deeply in love with the way the author executes the writing. This story touch into the acceptance of self and the familial love that transcends everything without having a complex storyline and a really classic way of constructing conflicts. The coloured panel is legit the perfect exmaple of how to paint a beautiful ending to the story. This oneshot is similar to their debut project, Lyra to Mayonaka 3-ji no Daibouken, with the narrative beinng pretty similar and it's art style is also incredibly simple too. If you want a story that is short, nice, wholesome and deeply personal with interesting characters and a meaningful message being embedded into it, give this a try. I think this oneshot is a 75/100. Thank you!
