“We couldn’t be more proud to have LOOK BACK as Anime Trending’s first merchandise deal,” says Kwok-Wai Hanson, CEO of Anime Trending. “Kiyotaka Oshiyama was the perfect director to bring Fujimoto-sensei’s vision to life, and fans are right to be so excited.”

The collection will be available via pre-order through the AniTrendz Online Store on October 5th, with sales closing at the end of the month. Items are anticipated to arrive at customer’s homes in mid-December.

GKIDS is distributing “LOOK BACK” in North America, with a limited theatrical release on Friday, October 4th and a nationwide release starting on the 6th. For additional information and tickets, please visit the GKIDS website.

GKIDS describes “LOOK BACK” as follows:

Popular, outgoing Fujino is celebrated by her classmates for her funny comics in the class newspaper. One day, her teacher asks her to share the space with Kyomoto, a truant recluse whose beautiful artwork sparks a competitive fervor in Fujino. What starts as jealousy transforms when Fujino realizes their shared passion for drawing.

Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of “Chainsaw Man”, LOOK BACK captures the highs and lows of pursuing artistic excellence and the special bonds formed through creative collaboration. The heart-wrenching story is the stunning feature-length directorial debut from Kiyotaka Oshiyama that will leave you in tears and inspire you to chase your own artistic dreams.
