Confirming the leak from a few days ago, a press release
announced that the one-shot manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki
Fujimoto , “ Look
Back ”, will have an anime film adaptation. The statement revealed
the production details and listed that the premiere is scheduled for
June 28 in theaters in Japan.
Additionally, Tatsuki Fujimoto , who is
also the author of “ Fire Punch ” and “ Chainsaw Man ,”
commented on the matter:
- « This
work was created to force me to digest what I could not digest inside. I
don't know if I was able to digest it by drawing it or not, but I can only
thank the many people who participated in turning this work into a film.
Director Oshiyama is a monster animator who is no stranger to otaku
animation, so as an otaku I am looking forward to seeing this work in the
cinema .
For her part, Tatsuki Fujimoto published
the original one-shot through publisher Shueisha 's Shonen Jump Plus digital
service in July 2021. In August of the same year, it was revealed that the
scene showing a paranoid man entering a school of art with an axe, claiming it
had been plagiarized by a student, was altered upon publication due to negative
reviews. Many pointed out that this was a reference to the arson attack
on Kyoto Animation studios in 2019.
Production team
- Kiyotaka Oshiyama ( Chainsaw Man, DEVILMAN crybaby, Space☆Dandy ) is directing the project at Studio Durian ( Shishigari, Heikousen, Evangelion × Attack ZERO ), and is also in charge of writing and supervising the scripts, as well as character design and animation direction.
Sinopsis of Look Back
Fourth-grade student Ayumu Fujino regularly draws
four-panel manga for her school newspaper and is praised for having the best
artwork in her class. One day, her teacher asks him to give one of her manga
spots in the school newspaper to a truant student named Kyomoto. When Kyomoto's
manga appears alongside Fujino's, she receives high praise for her detailed
illustrations, causing Fujino to become jealous.
Fujino refuses to be defeated by someone who barely goes
to school and is dedicated to learning how to create manga. However, as time
passes, his goal of eclipsing Kyomoto seems further and further away, and
Fujino, now in sixth grade, eventually gives up and stops making manga.
Graduation day arrives and Fujino is asked to give Kyomoto his graduation certificate.
By chance, the two end up meeting face to face, and their unexpected meeting
will end up having consequences far beyond what either of them could predict.
