A review by emergencily
Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto

4.5

I've always loved Fujimoto's art and linework and I enjoy how expressive and emotional his faces are, so I loved the art in the story. He's also very good at breaking your heart, which I was already familiar with from Chainsaw Man. The story really resonated with me as someone who's struggled a lot with finding confidence and direction in my personal relationship with art. I think anyone who's cared about creating will really relate to the story. I really liked the twist in the story and how he plays fast and loose with the bounds of time and brings some surreality and mystery to the story even when the setting is highly realistic. I noticed that in his other oneshot Goodbye Eri as well. I loved all the quiet, dialogue-less scenes and the use of repetitive, similar panels to show the passage of time and the changes in the girls' relationships to each other and to their art.
