Tatsuki Fujimoto is a very special writer and that he has already scored some major hits in the course of his young career. After convincing with various oneshots and his first Fire Punch series, he switched to Weekly Shonen Jump with a great Chainsaw Man and decided after the first part to devote himself to something else.
Announced a few weeks ago, the mangaka by Chainsaw man has finally published a oneshot with 145 pages on Shonen Jump + Look Back. Almost a single volume with a story that mainly presents two characters. Also available on MangaPlus In English, the story tells the journey of the young Fujino and Kyomoto in the world of manga, with a particular focus on their relationship.
A fast flowing oneshot that can touch anyone, striking with moving and technically flawless scenes, with an almost cinematic flair. Fujimoto told a story that Japanese fans first noticed when Look Back received two million hits on Shonen Jump + in less than 24 hours and also became trending on Japanese Twitter. It impressed and moved western fans too, with over 100,000 people reading the chapter on MangaPlus and taking Fujimoto to ninth place in the US, while Look Back also reached third place as a global trend.
Finally, Look Back also fascinated other mangaka. One of the first to share and comment on it was Inio Asano, one of the most influential Japanese authors of the decade: “Great, really great, I’m speechless.” Even the author of Yet the city move and Heavenly Delusion, Masakazu Ishiguro, was moved by these pages.
