Synopsis

Fourth-grader Ayumu Fujino regularly draws four-panel manga for her school newspaper and is lauded as having the best artwork in her class. One day, she is asked by her teacher to turn over one of her manga slots in the school newspaper to a truant student named Kyomoto. When Kyomoto's manga pops up alongside Fujino's, it receives high praises for its detailed artwork, making Fujino furiously jealous.

Refusing to be beaten by someone who barely attends school, Fujino devotes herself to learning to create manga. As time goes on though, her goal of outshining Kyomoto seems to only get further and further away, and Fujino, now in sixth grade, eventually gives up and quits making manga.

Graduation day arrives, and Fujino is asked to deliver Kyomoto's graduation certificate to her. Through chance, the two end up coming face to face, and their unexpected meeting will end up having consequences far beyond what either of them could ever predict.

I absolutely love this movie. I have read Fire Punch, Goodbye Eri and am cought up on Chainsaw Man from Tatsuki Fujimoto but I never read look back so far so I basically went into this unspoiled besides knowing the starting premise. Those 53 minutes were a roller coaster of emotions for me and I got really attached to the characters. I recommend everyone to watch this movie, as it is now even on amazon prime (where I did watch it). I never once wrote a review on MAL despite having watched a fair bit of anime but I felt the need to do so ...

Mixed Feelings
A rather solid short film that caught my attention as an artist myself. There were a few times were I laughed and related with the main character's anguish, their struggles to improve, how long it truly takes to get good at art and making something of yourself. The comments made by Fujino's parents and peers were especially on point! How they applaud all your efforts and say you'll be an amazing artist someday, that you'll be making big money in this career so on so forth. It was fun to see Fujino finally meet who she considered her rival, Kyoumoto, and make that first connection. ...

i think its a great movie for lesbian tiktok girls

Jokes aside, it was so dissappointing. I felt hopeless for todays anime industry. Manga was more focused and felt real at least.
-This movie shouldnt been that long.
-Music was ass. I hated those long ass clips/montages that popped out of nowhere. It was so lazy, they used this shit as replacement of ''storytelling'' and character writing. And the other thing whats wrong with these anime movies man why always there is a sadpianomusic.mp3? I guess its ''Your Name''s fault. Whatever.
-Characters are not likeble. Movie doesnt give you any perspective about them. Theyre like ...
