Staff Reviews

A perfect little cup of tea in comics form: rich, sweet, complex, and just a little bitter; brief, but lingering. An artist's manifesto in the form of fiction (or is it roman a clef?) with just a teaspoon of miraculous fantasy, this standalone story shows the most cinematic mind in modern manga at the height of his narrative powers. If you've ever had complicated feelings about art, if you've ever mourned a lost friendship, if you've ever shared a dream, "Look Back" sees you.

— Graham

Description

A heart-wrenching single-volume story about the struggles of being an artist, from the creator of Chainsaw Man.

The overly confident Fujino and the shut-in Kyomoto couldn’t be more different, but a love of drawing manga brings these two small-town girls together. A poignant story of growing up and moving forward that only Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man, could have crafted.
