The official synopsis of Kiyotaka Oshiyama’s Look Back reads:
In a more casual and accessible manner: “Fujino, known for her humor and popularity among peers, is admired by classmates for her witty comic strips published in the school paper. One day, her teacher suggests she collaborate with Kyomoto, a mysterious student who often skips school but creates breathtaking artwork. This proposition ignites a sense of competition within Fujino.
The synopsis continues:
Initially, Fujino’s feelings are tinged with jealousy. However, this changes as they discover a mutual love for art – specifically, drawing. The movie beautifully portrays the ups and downs of chasing artistic perfection, as well as the unique connections that can be forged through joint creative endeavors.
Under the direction of Kiyotaka Oshiyama, and in collaboration with Tatsuki Fujimoto on the script, the film Look Back features Yumi Kawai lending her voice to the character Fujino. Additionally, Mizuki Yoshida is heard as Kyomoto within the movie.
