(Spoilers ahead!)
Look Back is a one-shot that is simple yet amazing at the same time. Thia manga accurately shows the realism of human emotions encountering the death of their loved one.

Look Back is about two middle school friends inspiring to make manga. As life goes on, they both take their separate ways promising to meet each other again in the near future to continue making manga. However, one of friends passed away which affects the other friend with regret and sadness. It's a simple plot that anyone can think of but the way they showed the emotions of the main character was flawless.

Like I said, it's simple yet amazing. The way this one-shot showed the main character's thoughts on her friend's death was incredibly realistic. Puting blame on herself, imagining a whole new path where her friend didn't die, overcome with grief. All of that was so well showed and I felt sadness after seeing the MC's imagination.

Fujimoto really went out on this one (well it is a one-shot after all). I feel like I don't even need to explain. The shades fits so well with the aesthetic and I absolutely love it. 10/10 without a doubt.
