This Upcoming Anime Movie Will Give You Depression ### Manga Review: *Look Back* by Tatsuki Fujimoto

 Manga Review: *Look Back* by Tatsuki Fujimoto


*Look Back* by Tatsuki Fujimoto who is famous for his chaotic brilliance in *Chainsaw Man* and the psychological rollercoaster *Fire Punch*, swaps his usual chaos for a more introspective and poignant narrative here.

The story revolves around two young girls, Fujino and Kyomoto, whose contrasting personalities and artistic talents intertwine in a beautiful, bittersweet ballet. Fujino is a cocky young manga artist who coasts on her school’s newspaper column with her vibrant drawings, while Kyomoto is a reclusive genius whose detailed artwork makes Fujino's confidence crumble faster than Goku's resolve after Vegeta shows up with a new transformation. 

What makes *Look Back* stand out is how it captures the essence of artistic rivalry and friendship without devolving into clichés. Their relationship evolves from competition to mutual admiration, reminiscent of Naruto and Sasuke if they traded ninja stars for sketchpads. Fujimoto's minimalist yet expressive style poignantly captures the girls' growth, struggles, and triumphs.


But don’t let the calm exterior fool you. *Look Back* subtly packs the emotional punch of an *Attack on Titan* plot twist, but in a way that sneaks up on you rather than kicking down the door. It’s the kind of story that makes you reflect on your own journey, and the people who have inspired and challenged you along the way.

As for the upcoming anime adaptation, let's just say the animation studios better sharpen their pencils and stock up on tissues, and from the trailer we saw, they are not pulling any punches. With Fujimoto’s rich narrative and unique art style, it’s set to be a breathtaking experience that will have fans eagerly waiting, like Luffy staring down a buffet table. Everyone should be excited, because if this adaptation captures even a fraction of the manga’s depth and emotion, it’s going to be an instant classic, one that etches itself into the anime hall of fame right next to the biggest battles and tear-jerking moments of the genre.
