Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Look Back Reveals Two New Cast Members

In a new announcement, Tatsuki Fujimoto’s emotional one-shot manga, Look Back, has found its two main cast members. Joining the cast are Yūmi Kawai and Mizuki Yoshida, it was confirmed that this was their first time taking on the role of a Seiyuu.

In the image above starting on the left, Yūmi Kawai (A Girl Named Ann, Sayanora, Girls. Yodominaku, Yamanai) will be portraying Fujino, a fourth grader who draws four-panel comics for her School Newspaper. And on the right is Mizuki Yoshida (Alice in Borderland, Mayhem Girls, Another Day In Paradise) will be portraying Kyomoto, who is Fujina’s classmate, but has been skipping school.

Kiyotaka Oshiyama (The Wind Rises, Deca Dance, The Boy, and The Heron) will be taking on the role of the Director, the screenplay, and character design. Studio Durian will also be handling the animation production. Look Back was one of the most emotional stories in the current era of Shonen manga. It has been described as a love letter to the manga industry and was released on the second anniversary of the Kyoto Animation Arson Incident. In July 2021, the one-shot title became Shueisha’s most popular One-Shot in its history, reaching over 4 million reads on the digital manga platform (Shonen Jump Plus) in just two days in Japan.

The film is set to debut in Japan on Jun 28, 2024. Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Look Back is available now where books are sold (both digital and in print), and also available to read on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump Plus and Manga Plus apps. Viz Media published the title for English audiences and is available to read on the Shonen Jump app.

The overly confident Fujino and the shut-in Kyomoto couldn’t be more different, but a love of drawing manga brings these two small-town girls together. A poignant story of growing up and moving forward that only Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man, could have crafted.
