Amazon has announced that the Look Back anime film will be available on Amazon Prime Video on November 7. They’ve also released a new trailer to commemorate the announcement. The film adapts the one-shot manga from Chainsaw Man creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto. It initially premiered in the West on October 7. Check out the trailer below:
The Look Back manga initially released in 2022. The manga’s store page describes it as follows: “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.” The anime first premiered in Japan in June 2024.
A previous trailer’s description includes a synopsis for the film:
Popular, outgoing Fujino is celebrated by her classmates for her funny comics in the class newspaper. One day, her teacher asks her to share the space with Kyomoto, a truant recluse whose beautiful artwork sparks a competitive fervor in Fujino. What starts as jealousy transforms when Fujino realizes their shared passion for drawing.
Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man, Look Back captures the highs and lows of pursuing artistic excellence and the special bonds formed through creative collaboration. The heart-wrenching story is the stunning feature-length directorial debut from Kiyotaka Oshiyama that will leave you in tears and inspire you to chase your own artistic dreams.
Lastly, the Look Back anime film will be available on Amazon Prime Video starting on November 7.
