Look Back is a popular one-shot manga created by Chainsaw Man mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto following the story of Fujino and Kyomoto as they explore their love for manga creation from their childhood into their young adult lives. Premiering in Japan on June 28th, Kiyotaka Oshiyama will provide commentary around the release ahead of the Anime Expo premiere screening scheduled for July 6 at 5:15PM PDT.
Along with the Look Back premiere, Avex Pictures will also host screenings for the short film Garden of Remembrance directed by Naoko Yamada and the world premiere of the new romantic comedy anime The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies by studio BONES, which is officially scheduled to begin airing in July.
Joining Kiyotaka Oshiyama on the panel will be director Akiyo Ohashi, BONES producer Naoki Amano, and Avex Pictures producer, Tomokazu Iizumi to share the latest on Avex Pictures’ and BONES’ past collaborations, namely the popular anime Noragami.
The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies director Akiyo Ohashi said the following of these Anime Expo events, “We have taken the cute, slightly strange, funny, yet somehow sad and heart-wrenching story spun by Ms. Fujiwara Cocoa and made it into a film. We hope that Mahoaku will make you love the ordinary days you spend with your loved ones.”
