GKIDS premiered LOOK BACK nationwide in North America for a limited engagement between October 6, 2024 and October 7, 2024. 

GKIDS describes the synopsis of LOOK BACK as:

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.

Leading anime community and media network Anime Trending, best known for its weekly top 10 charts, is set to bring fans limited goods for the hotly-anticipated critical darling, LOOK BACK — a featurette based on the manga of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man).
