Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga is enhanced by a stunning anime that sits with the work of making art. Our Look Back review:
mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto, follows the coming-of-age of fourth grader Fujino as she discovers and asserts her desire to draw manga. Her story is shaped by an unexpected rival-turned-accomplice Kyomoto, a truant who takes up the pencil after reading Fujino’s school newspaper comics, yet quickly outpaces the drawing skills of her hero.
Together they become a prodigal duo submitting work through middle and high school until, finally, they’re given a serialization—one Kyomoto can’t accept. She goes to art school instead to become a better artist and a better person all on her own. She’s always looked up to Fujino, but Fujino has always looked back. She goes to art school while Fujino moves to the city and makes it big.is a celebration of all that is drawn.
Oshiyama introduces surreal visuals that feel like they were missing from this story all along, while the film even adopts manga panels to portray memories as flashbacks. The most visually striking moments inare its hand-drawn tracking shots, while what 3D CGI is used is incorporated judiciously.
If Fujino didn’t draw, if she studied something more practical, maybe she could have saved Kyomoto. It’s her last fantasy and a great trick of both the manga and anime. The film shifts perspectives to Kyomoto on the day she meets Fujino, except this time they do not. Without Kyomoto, Fujino never finds a reason to keep drawing. Without Fujino, Kyomoto still pursues her craft, still goes to art school, is still attacked.
