Popular, outgoing Fujino is celebrated by her classmates for her funny comics in the class newspaper. One day, her teacher asks her to share the space with Kyomoto, a truant recluse whose beautiful artwork sparks a competitive fervor in Fujino. What starts as jealousy transforms when Fujino realizes their shared passion for drawing.

Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of "Chainsaw Man", Look Back captures the highs and lows of pursuing artistic excellence and the special bonds formed through creative collaboration. The heart-wrenching story is the stunning feature-length directorial debut from Kiyotaka Oshiyama that will leave you in tears and inspire you to chase your own artistic dreams.

"LOOK BACK is one of the most remarkable anime of the past decade...I was shaken to my core. The tenderness, the kindness, the strength!Such rich expressions and sensitivity, surpassing even a live-action film!"

- Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear Solid "5 STARS! LOOK BACK more than lived up to its stellar reputation, and once it receives a wider theatrical release, that will become

even more apparent, worldwide."

- Joshua Fox, ScreenRant
