The anime film "Look Back," based on the original work by Tatsuki Fujimoto, has unveiled its key visual and a trailer, highlighting the lives of the two young artists Fujino and Kyomoto.
"Look Back" tells the story of the confident girl Fujino, who initially stops drawing manga after discovering the remarkable talent of her truant classmate Kyomoto. However, through their growing friendship and mutual influence, Fujino's passion for art is reignited. The trailer introduces viewers to the voices of these characters, with Yuumi Kawai as Fujino and Mitzuki Yoshida as Kyomoto. The trailer begins with a self-assured Fujino being praised by her classmates for her manga potential, then transitions to her transformative encounter with Kyomoto, eventually leading to scenes of the duo drawing together. This journey is accompanied by poignant dialogues that underscore the deepening bond between the two.
Additionally, the trailer features the theme song "Light song," composed by Haruka Nakamura and sung by Urara.
Director Seiichi Oshiyama expressed a personal connection to the story, drawing parallels between the dedication of animation and manga artists and the emotional resonance he felt with Fujimoto's narrative. Oshiyama aims to authentically translate these emotions into the film.
"Look Back" is set to release nationwide in Japanese theaters on June 28, with Studio Dorian handling the animation production. Oshiyama not only directs but is also responsible for the screenplay and character design. Furthermore, additional key staff members have been announced, including art director Kiyoshi Sameshima and composer Haruka Nakamura.
