Look Back

Fujino has always dreamed of becoming a manga artist, filling her school newspaper with four-panel comics that classmates line up to read. Everything changes when a reclusive homeschooled girl named Kyomoto starts submitting art of her own — art that makes Fujino feel, for the first time, like she isn't good enough. What begins as rivalry grows into an unlikely partnership, and then a friendship that reshapes both of their lives. A quiet, devastating story about why people keep creating, even when the world gives them every reason to stop.
