Chainsaw Man Creator Drops Epic Look Back Trailer - A Game Changer

The anime world is buzzing with excitement as the first trailer for "Look Back," an anime film adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's one-shot manga, drops. Known for creating the popular "Chainsaw Man" series, Fujimoto's "Look Back" delves into a heartfelt story about two girls with a shared passion for drawing manga. This marks Fujimoto's debut film adaptation, with the movie set to première in Japan on June 28. Fans of his work are anticipating the global release, especially after witnessing the stunning visuals and potential emotional depth teased in the trailer.

Director Kiyotaka Oshiyama, famed for his work on "Chainsaw Man," "Devilman Crybaby," and "Mob Psycho 100," helms the project, with Yumi Kawai and Mizuki Yoshida taking on the lead roles, marking their voice acting debut. While an international release date isn't set yet, the buzz around "Look Back" is growing, indicating the film could be a standout anime feature for the year.

"Look Back" follows the journey of Fujino, a confident young artist, and Kyomoto, a reclusive aspiring manga creator. Their contrasting personalities are bridged by their love for manga, leading to a deep and inspiring friendship. While this one-shot is a separate narrative from "Chainsaw Man," it shares the same creator, offering a glimpse into Tatsuki Fujimoto's storytelling prowess beyond his flagship series.

Fujimoto's work, especially "Chainsaw Man"— a series about a young man who becomes part demon and hunts other demons— has garnered a massive following. The series is praised for its unique blend of dark themes, humor, and action. With the critical acclaim of "Chainsaw Man," fans are eager to see how Fujimoto's storytelling will translate into a full-length feature film with "Look Back."
