The anime film for Look Back, which is based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot manga of the same name, was announced back in February. The first full trailer of the anime movie was just released and showcased the main character Ayumu Fujino and how she struggles to fulfill her dreams of becoming a manga artist and a girl named Kyomoto, who changes her life. 

People have been really excited about the movie, mainly because the main manga is written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, known for masterpieces such as Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch. The trailer was widely praised online as it is quite different from Fujimoto’s usual works but it carries a beautiful art style and an intriguing story of two friends that will win your heart.

The trailer for the upcoming film was released alongside a new key visual and announced that the movie will get its theatrical release in Japan on June 28. The main reason why people are so excited about this announcement is because of how much praise the manga received when it came out in 2021. Not only did the manga have four million reads online within two days of its first digital publication but also sold 73,000 copies of its Tankōbon volume in the first week and more than 80,000 copies in the second week. It also received the 2021 Twitter Japan’s Trends Award.
