Produced by Studio Durian and directed by the talented Kiyotaka Oshiyama, “Look Back” is based on the touching dramatic one-shot by Tatsuki Fujimoto , creator of “Chainsaw Man.” The narrative follows the lives of two girls from a small town who challenge and inspire each other in their pursuit of becoming manga artists. However, a tragic event transforms their lives forever, adding intense emotional depth to the story.

The film not only won the hearts of anime fans, but also received critical acclaim for its stunning animation and captivating narrative. The collaboration between Studio Durian and Kiyotaka Oshiyama delivered a faithful adaptation of Fujimoto's work, solidifying "Look Back" as one of the most impactful releases of the year.

This box office success is a testament to how well-told stories can resonate with audiences. Therefore, in a recent interview, director Hideo Kojima praised the film's performance.

"I was deeply moved! The tenderness, the gentleness, the strength! Such rich expressions and sensitivity, surpassing even a live-action film!"
