Look Back movie revealed a new trailer featuring the infamous rain scene from the manga. Studio DURIAN animated the highly anticipated adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot manga with Kiyotaka Oshiyama as the director, character designer, and screenwriter. The movie premiered in Japan in June of this year and it had an exclusive world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. A preview was also shown during this year’s Anime Expo.
The theme song for the movie is “Light song” by haruka nakamura and urara (vocals). Mizuki Yoshida and Yumi Kawai are voicing the main duo, Kyomoto and Fujino. The Look Back movie received positive reviews, including high praise by Hideo Kojima.
Look Back was nominated for Eisner’s Award in 2023. VIZ Media published it in English and describes the plot as:
The overly confident Fujino and the shut-in Kyomoto couldn’t be more different, but a love of drawing manga brings these two small-town girls together. A poignant story of growing up and moving forward that only Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man, could have crafted.
The Look Back anime will adapt the one-shot, first published in 2021 on the Shonen Jump+ platform. It follows the story of two high school students, Fujino and Kyomoto, who bond over a shared love for art after a teacher suggests they work together. As time passes, the two become very close but life has different plans for them.
The manga is also available to read on Manga PLUS. Its title is inspired by the Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back In Anger” song.
