On the official site for the anime adaptation of the
one-shot manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto ,
“ Look Back ”,
a new promotional video for the feature film was revealed. The video confirms
that the film will be released on June 28 in theaters in Japan ,
and shows a fragment of the main theme song titled “ Light Song ”
and performed by Urara .
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.
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.
