We will continue with a more specific synopsis, if you don't want spoilers, avoid it.

Look Back: What is it about? Where can I read the manga?

Look Back It begins by focusing on Fujino, a girl who makes manga at school and whom everyone adores for her great ability to tell stories. In her small world, the girl longs to be a mangaka, however, His confidence collapses when he encounters Kyomoto's drawing mastery, another girl who does not attend school because she has some difficulty building relationships and meeting people.

One day, the school manga strip puts the works of the protagonists on the same level. Fujino will realize his own issues to improve, and for the first time he will feel the weight of the world, and consequently, he stops drawing because he does not feel capable of equaling Kyomoto.

Shortly after, Fujino must leave the homework to Kyomoto, the girl who never attends. When she reaches the foot of her door, she makes a sketch with a bad joke and runs away, but Kyomoto, noticing the cleverness of the story, dares to get out of it and makes first contact with the girl. little girl.

After this, the germ of a friendship with functionality is planted: each other, they push each other to change and improve. For her part, Fujino begins to pull the strings and make the most of both their abilities to achieve something bigger. The meticulous details and incredible settings that Kyomoto draws can be adapted to Fujino's unique character designs and epic stories, and in fact, in this way they manage to win a contest and realize the breadth of the world that, to them, allows you to have new goals.

As time goes by, both work at their maximum. For her part, Fujino decides that he wants to be a professional manga artist, while Kyomoto makes the decision to leave home to study fine arts. And because of this, the girls will have a terrible fight, but for the first time, Kyomoto will support herself against the harsh character of her best friend, the fatal thing is that it will be an argument that will simply separate them.

Time passes and while Fujino has an important serialization coming up that she can't take anymore, she finds out about the attack on the Arts school, in which her friend has been murdered. After that, a chaos of emotions and memories, as well as regrets, will occur to the girl who imagines new scenarios in which her friend is still alive.

Now, yes, what to do when someone you love disappears but had stopped seeing by your own decision? The acidity of emotions stirs Fujino's entire body as she tries to explain herself and (re)make her friend's life to keep her safe in a different reality.
