Look Back (Japanese: ルックバック, Hepburn: Rukku Bakku) is a 2024 Japanese animated coming-of-age drama film based on the one-shot web manga of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The film is directed by Kiyotaka Oshiyama , who also wrote the screenplay and served as a character designer, and produced by Studio Durian. It stars Yuumi Kawai and Mizuki Yoshida as two girls with a passion for drawing—the outgoing Fujino (Kawai) and the truant recluse Kyomoto (Yoshida), the latter of whom's artistic ability inspires a competitive fervor in Fujino that soon develops into a partnership.
Look Back premiered at the French Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2024. It received a theatrical release in Japan by Avex Pictures on June 28, 2024, and garnered acclaim from critics for its visuals and emotional weight.
