While everyone is talking about the Chainsaw Man anime, it's time to check out of its creator's first projects after it first wrapped up.
LOOK BACK (Rukku Bakku), by Tatsuki Fujimoto. First published in 2021 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
Fujino is inordinately proud of the simple little gag comic she publishes in the school paper, but her work can't compare to the exquisite drawings of her shut-in classmate Kyomoto. While delivering her junior high diploma, Fujino is shocked to learn that Kyomoto is her biggest fan, and from there a friendship and manga-making partnership is born. Alas, it is all too short-lived, thanks to the pull of the world beyond high school and an unforeseen tragedy.
