Ayumi Fujino (voiced by Yuumi Kawai) is in elementary school and has a great talent for drawing manga. Her 4 panel manga is featured in the school's paper and everyone enjoys it. She finds herself challenged by a truant shut in, Kyomoto (voiced by Mizuki Yoshida), who starts to have her own 4 panel manga featured in the paper. Kyomoto shows technical skill far above Fujino, but Fujino isn't going to back down. Over the course of their lives the two go from butting heads, to teaming up, to going their separate ways, until Fujino, later in life as a noted manga artist, hears shocking news about Kyomoto.
Look Back is based on Tatsuki Fujimoto's popular one shot manga, which was published in 2021. Written and directed by Kiyotaka Oshiyama at Studio Durian, the movie will premiere in Japan on June 28, 2024.

Kiyotaka Oshiyama, director of the upcoming anime film adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot manga Look Back, hinted that he is aiming to create the film differently from the manga.
In his comment, Oshiyama acknowledged the similarities in the creative processes between animators/animation directors and manga artists, saying that they approach their works in an identical manner.
He further elaborated on his personal connection to the story, stating, he could resonate with Fujimoto’s inspiration to create Look Back. And because of this, Oshiyama felt that he could create a movie adaptation of the work, which he could personally relate to.
“When I read manga, I was not only deeply moved by the story, but I also resonated with the passion of Tatsuki Fujimoto, the author of Look Back. That’s why I felt that I could make this into a film that I could personally relate to.”

Tatsuki Fujimoto is best known as the critically acclaimed author of the Chainsaw Man series, but he has authored several other works, including the one-shot manga Look Back, whose anime film adaptation was announced back in February. The film is set for a June 28, 2024 release in Japan, and while we’re waiting for the premiere, we are happy to announce that the producers have revealed the first cast members of the upcoming movie:
Yūmi Kawai (left) was cast as Fujino, a fourth grader who draws four-panel comics in the school newspaper, while Mizuki Yoshida (right) will be playing Kyomoto, Fujino’s classmate who has been skipping school. So far, the two of them are the only confirmed cast members of Look Back, but they will be voicing the main characters so this is definitely a scoop.

Long prescribed to a stagnating society, the status quo had its own rulebook torn at the onset of the age of coronavirus. Rupturing ordinariness at the seams, the question always remained: why go back? Why not stumble into the extraordinary, an imaginative domain of endless possibilities and supernatural intrigue? These ideals of returning to what had been became rife for their own rebellion, to forge a future suited for all. For the adolescent, such drastic change could never come at a more disruptive time, forced to make sense of a world, of a body, of mind and soul, being turned upside down. Though there may be little actual rebellion unfolding within Shinichi Fujita's ‘Mayhem Girls', there is plenty to rebel against the film itself, a disappointing yet oddly charming flurry of escapism that poses more questions than it can bare to answer.
