An endearing and tearjerker film on the beauty of friendship that had fans and critics alike raving when it was released in Japan, Look Back is the anime film adaptation of a one-shot manga that tells the story of two small-town girls Fujino and Kyomoto, who are polar opposites of each other. Fujino is overly confident, and in contrast Kyomoto is a shut-in, but their shared love for drawing manga brings them together. The coming-of-age film is animated by Studio Durian, founded by Kiyotaka Oshiyama, who helms Look Back as its director.. Under Oshiyama’s impressive list as an animator are films and series such as The Boy and the Heron, Devilman Crybaby, and Flip Flappers. The original Look Back manga was critically acclaimed and highly popular in Japan, reaching over 4 million reads within two days of publication. In Japan, the movie adaptation has grossed more than 1 billion yen in less than 20 days.
