Also, to people who may have missed it, I'm going to be filming a q&a video over the weekend and have out up a community post for you to share any comments or questions you'd like!
With the current complaints going on about Fujimoto's art "regression", it's important to note that Kyomoto who is the one that is endlessly pursuing to improve her technical art abilities was the one who died. Fujimoto has on multiple times complained about how much he struggled to become a better artist to match the people that inspired him but admits he has to sacrifice his own art so that he could continue to tell stories. It went to the point where he says he wants to have something similar to Akasaka Aka's situation of just being the writer and having someone else do the art. Between the storyteller Fujino and Technical Artist Kyomoto, the two people that makes up Fujimoto's identity. Kyomoto has died but he continues to create manga despite this
I think the reason people create is not just to please their inner muse but because there is so much that you can communicate through art that mere conversation cannot cover. It's like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Great video Dani!
Thank you as usual!! And couldn't agree more, there are definitely times you can draw for yourself, whether it's just pure interest in art, or really wanting to better your skills. But I know for a lot of artists, one of the biggest elements to making *anything*, is the hopes it reaches people. That they can react to what you've done. Start a convo. Evoke an emotion in someone. Inspire something! Tell a story or express a message.
The part about being too old that you're too old to draw later in life by the same people who supported you related to me a whole lot. I remember being in elementary school and when I said I was passionate about drawing my dad said I wouldn't be "a kid drawing forever" as if it's something only children do, as well as my mom telling me it's something everyone can do, basically downplaying the time and energy that goes into it.
@@linesinmotion In japan it will be released on 28.06 and ppl who have gone to the screening said it's a masterpiece and you'll cry your eyes out so I'm sure it will get international acclaim!
This manga hits so hard and this video reminded me how much I liked it. As an artist working on a very niche webcomic project, the question of "Why do you draw?" has always been one that I think about often. While I would love to be one of those artists who completely find intrinsic motivation to do what I do, a lot of it comes more from the feedback that I receive. While I do have a story I think is very unique and I absolutely want to tell and that pushes me forward a little bit, I’d be lying by saying that seeing a new comment posted doesn’t make me to draw immediately the next page and seeing a lack of interaction makes me doubt myself as an artist. Often, I find that some artists tend to shame you for wanting your art to be appreciated by others and that you should be a "true artiste" who doesn’t care about outside validation. But what Look Back helped me realize is that it's a human feeling that you shouldn’t feel guilty about. It’s normal, as an artist, to want your work to be appreciated and to feel seen. I just find it comforting that Fujimoto took this perspective in this story.
No artist should be shamed for waiting their art to receive attention. I get it to an extent of "don't get too swamped in view numbers" if that's all you think about, because that'll definitely get you into a bad mindset. But artists just.. Being happy their art has blown up online? That someone has commented. Has brought merch of theirs? I'm all for that!!
Fujimoto loves/prefers drawing backgrounds like the tragic character in *Look Back* according to a recent post. His backgrounds in arc 2 of *Chainsaw Man* are glorious. His characters are also like actors which he reuses for his other Mangas. For instance, Fujimoto's tragic character of *Look Back* looks like an older, teen-age Nayuta from *Chainsaw Man*
Me and my best friend had a huge falling out, where we didn't talk to each other for a year. I wanted to make a manga with her (me being the writer and her the artist), but she wanted to pursue her own story and manga. I felt so betrayed by that, as we had been talking and developing the characters for years, all throughout our collage and university days, so I thought, why not go all out and bring them to life together? But she had other plans and wanted to pursue her own manga dreams. She managed to get a scholarship to a manga school in Kyoto, so after that fight, we agreed that maybe we should give each other space, as until that point, we were always hanging out together. When I came across Look Back, the bout of emotions I felt hit me like a tidal wave. I couldn't believe how personal it hit home for me. It brought back memories I had with my best friend, where we would just be sitting on the floor of the Uni dorms, chatting about what the characters would be and the world the story would be in. My BF always said (and still does) that she wanted to be a great mangaka. After I read this, for the first time in a long time, I sent her a text and a link to Look back, and told her that one day, she'll make a great story.
I was always chasing the validation of my peers and family members with the drawings I created, even today I still do it. I've always thought it was an unhealthy motivating factor for me because it felt like I just wanted 10 seconds of validation from others from something that took me hours and even days to create. It feels unhealthy to be chasing for that approval because I ended up creating drawings of what other people wanted to see and never what I wanted to draw. It felt like I was constantly chasing approval from people who would only pay 30 seconds of their attention to my drawings and giving me some sort of approval. But I eventually found out that what kept me drawing the most were hearing other artists being inspired from my drawings. I got enrolled into an art school last year and hearing that some of my classmates were inspired by my drawings and even were changing their rendering process into something similar to mine felt amazing. I'd rather make an impact to someone's life and art skills than constantly looking to be praised. The joy of knowing I impacted someone's art skills strives me to improve my drawings and keep drawing.
This makes me understand why I've had a fall out in art recently. I never had many friends there i connected with through it. I even avoid telling most of my friends that I do enjoy making art.
one of my fondest memories of being a kid was making silly little comics about my friends and i getting into situations, and each of our characters had fun little running gags. that's when i first started loving the art of comics and drawing, i think! creating together with another person, as well as seeing my friend's reactions has always been a highlight for me :) it's such a thrilling feeling when someone enjoys your work, sometimes even more than you do!!! something about it fills my heart so much
Okay, so this touches on a lot of topics that I find really interesting, so even though I usually just lurk, I want to ramble for a bit. From my perspective, art has always been a very uniquely human form of communication and, consequently, connection. We're pack animals, so we all have this intense drive for connection with each other, and art is an especially potent means of facilitating that connection. No matter the medium, art exists largely to provoke thought and feeling. An artist creates something, then people that consume their art become mirrors for whatever the artist put into that work. The audience reflects something close to what the artist was thinking when they drew/wrote/composed their work. That's an interaction between artist and audience, but it's also an interaction between members of the audience themselves. There's a reason why people go to concerts or movie theaters-we get a lot out of experiencing art as a community. Though to be perfectly honest, as an introvert, those aren't my favorite activities. On that note (and for a more relevant example) there's a reason we all clicked on this (excellent) video to discuss Fujimoto's work. It's so interesting how we use our respective art forms to convey thoughts and emotions in a much more powerful way than if we we just stated them plainly, and how art can so successfully (yet so gently?) break through whatever walls we have up and appeal to our vulnerability/humanity. For me, I've mostly experienced the creation of art through its intrinsic values. The stories I've written reflect aspects of myself back at me, and so help me come to a clearer understanding of myself and the world around me. Even if I never share my art with other people, it's still worth making. But I *do* want share my art with people more often, and videos like this are good reminders of how worthwhile that can be, so thanks for making it and reminding us of why we do what we do. I could go on for a lot longer about this and related topics, but I'll leave it there in the interest of trying to be concise (I wrote literal paragraphs so that ship already sailed, but oh well). TL;DR, art is cool, this video is cool, and I need to finally get around to reading look back for myself.
I wasn't ready to watch this do a bit, but finally got the urge and courage to do so... Like you mentioned in your video, this story is about artists and for artists. It was crazy seeing Japanese artists on Twitter go crazy about it when the one shot dropped and how much it meant to them. I've had a similar situation between the two MC, spending hours on end engrossed in working on comics with a friend group. All the fun and hardships that came along with the craft. So Look Back hit me in ways I never thought a story could... So thank you for letting me re experience this story again.
I did a video for Look Back for a class before and you managed to express it so beautifully and touched upon things I couldn't put into words. Thank you for the lovely video ❤❤
Literally crying rn. I have just graduated and for my last year in highschool i did a play writing class, and i chose to write a story that talks about this exact subject. Why we do art, how it can be taken for granted by the average eye. Thank you so much for this. It makes me glad to know im not the only one who feels like i do about art
I just finished reading Look Back myself, and was so happy seeing that you have a video on it as well! Seriously, I love it, and god it makes me even more moved and touched as an artist too. I'm still collecting my thoughts and emotions, but I want you to know too that this video, your art, also truly resonated with me. Thank you for being here!!!
I really liked how you tied the narrative in to your own life's relationship with art. Fwiw you seem like an artist to me with each one of these videos, and a top one to boot
Love the video! Look Back is one of my favorite one shots. Art-related stories really grab me because it’s a look into a world I’m interested in, but don’t know.
Great video as always. Look Back was the only fujimoto work that had me crying at the end and it really hit me. It tells its narrative through art but as someone who’s striving to be a writer, I could deeply relate to Fujino as well. It’s the desire to create something that will evoke emotions and enjoyment from readers that gives you fulfillment.
Now i understand more about look aback. To tell you truth, i think look back can only truly be resonated with a artist. And your views make look back more clear to me.
HOLY- congrats on the 100k man, i watched your earliest videos and fell in love with them but since youtubes algorithm is the way it is i didnt watch your videos for a while. Look at you go, 100k already which i mean is kinda deserved your editing and scripting are on point. anyways good luck from an old viewer whos gonna binge all ur new stuff
as an artist myself i do try support my artist friends by encouraging them and praising them rightfuly cause i know for sure the feeling of being seen and praised FUELS a lot more than anything could, sure having a job as an artist is good too but i have experience working in Mobile gamedev where u cant step aside to show yourself but have benefits of stable job and okay salary but never being seen behind the casual style of corporate product. Now i have a job that gives me that spot as an artist and i never been happier and motivated in my life. Thankyou for this video essay about Look Back. you delivered the idea perfectly and inspirational
a) I was drawing when I saw the notification for this video hehe b) i love look back so much. It means so much to me, after I read it online I immediately went to buy a physical copy from my local book store. Fujimoto took me apart and flayed me open in 144 pages. I love your critical eye towards dissecting manga, always gives me interesting new insights. This video is a match made in heaven for me :D
Your channel is definitley one of the best on RUclips ! I loooooved the newest video on the diversity in WHA and how it is important to bring forward every book who does it great
I love look back so much, is one of my favorite one-shots ever, i adore your videos and i agree, art is such a personal way of pouring our soul and life, and fujimoto really captured that essence, i dare to say that your videos are a form of art too.
I was already a fan of Tatsuki Fujimoto because of Chainsaw Man but look back really made him become one of my favorite manga authors and storytellers in general. Amazing video!!
Nah Fujimoto really cooked on Look back and the movie is very good too. I've seen it 5 times so far and just like Hideo Kojima said it's definitely something to "look back" on.
Tuve que pausar varias veces el video, las ganas de llorar cada tres minutos fueron grandes. Gracias por tan precioso video sobre esta maravillosa historia
I never read this manga just yet, but your video makes me wanting to watch the movie even more when it hits the theater😆But even when I don't have a copy of the book, I feel like this manga is going to resonate in me on a personal level, at least to a certain degree. I'm not a working artist but I used to draw since elementary up until reaching 11th grade in a high school and I can already relate to some of the hardships that Fujino experienced as a passionate mangaka since her adolescence because I also experienced something a bit similar, when it's at school and at home. I can only say it's not always pleasant and I eventually stopped drawing since then for an obvious reason. Nevertheless, at least my passion or interest on every art form e.g. arts, graphic novel or manga, music, film & series etc hasn't lost yet and I'll always cherish that in every moment possible💞😊
You're making me want to reread this manga, because I'm not an artist and of course I didn't see the many aspects this manga has, the many meanings. My interpretation compared to that of an artist, even if the person draws or makes art as a hobby or as an amateur is very superficial. But now that you gave us (me) more insight and perspective, I might read it differently. I was never interested in Fire Punch and/or Chainshaw Man because at some point I was tired of shonen, but this manga in particular got my attention for some reason. Even if I didn't understand all of the implications, I loved it
Drawing is rough, I created a rough page of my comic and the first responses when I showed someone was when I'd have more pages done and how I could begin selling it
Hey, good evening Musashi vs seijuro yoshioka is my most favorite and in my opinion the best written battle in comics, would you please make a video about YOUR favorite battle in anime or manga, kind of like the one you made about skip to loafer in your last video
Honestly, I'd say read the manga! It doesn't take long to read it either being a one-shot, but I'd perhaps hold off on watching this video before you do read/watch look back! 😊
Whirlwind if emotions are welcomed in manga/anime but not in real life. It is considered drama unless it is a celebrity/famous person inna good way. People or the majority are truly inhuman/group think postive zombies and enjoy drama when it isn't them and entitled lives. Hardships unless you have those who care is a precious thing many take for granted.
Do you have any upcoming projects outside of youtube, or have any ideas or plans to, and I'd love to know what you thought about Goodbye Eri too, it has blown my mind so far apart that I am still trying to piece together my understanding of it?
Stop with the script ! Flipping through the pages of the manga already felt like peeling off my onion skins layer by layer exposing myself ! Not you too LiM !!!
I cried reading the one shot, I cried watching the trailer for the movie and now I'm crying again, finally, that feeling of being understood about how I'm lost on my art journey... I long for a partner to create with omg 🥲 thanks for nice video 🙏
Also, to people who may have missed it, I'm going to be filming a q&a video over the weekend and have out up a community post for you to share any comments or questions you'd like!

Got a like from me, you cooked.
Oh my god just realized fujino and kyomoto is basically fujimoto telling the story of himself
I fucking love the choice to put light blue n green into the panels. Def one of the prettiest videos you've ever made so far.
Thanks!! Definitely made my computer want to cry rendering it, but I thought it was worth it!
What the fuck are you doing here bro 😭😭 you enjoy peak too?
I think the reason people create is not just to please their inner muse but because there is so much that you can communicate through art that mere conversation cannot cover. It's like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Great video Dani!

My last video was less than three weeks ago 😂 it takes time to cook the manga videos haha! But appreciated none the less
@@linesinmotion in that case, if they quality of the videos will continue to be superb. Then take as long as you need 🙏🏾👍🏾✨
When I sketch my stories, it's for myself

i am not an artist myself, but your video almost made me cry. the manga and your video were really touching
Tearing up just hearing you talk about it. Such a good story, Fujimoto really outdid themselves.
I did a video for Look Back for a class before and you managed to express it so beautifully and touched upon things I couldn't put into words.
Thank you for the lovely video ❤❤
For class? That's so interesting. Was it for a specific topic? 😲 But thank you so much!
This video's got me tearing up again like when I first read Look Back

I've been waiting for this video to be made
Hope you enjoy! 🤭

I'm not a working artist but I used to draw since elementary up until reaching 11th grade in a high school and I can already relate to some of the hardships that Fujino experienced as a passionate mangaka since her adolescence because I also experienced something a bit similar, when it's at school and at home. I can only say it's not always pleasant and I eventually stopped drawing since then for an obvious reason. Nevertheless, at least my passion or interest on every art form e.g. arts, graphic novel or manga, music, film & series etc hasn't lost yet and I'll always cherish that in every moment possible💞😊
Looks like it's time for me to go to *Viz Media* & finally read Look Back
Oh *definitely* do!!!! If the video didn't make it obvious, I love it so much!
You're making me want to reread this manga, because I'm not an artist and of course I didn't see the many aspects this manga has, the many meanings. My interpretation compared to that of an artist, even if the person draws or makes art as a hobby or as an amateur is very superficial. But now that you gave us (me) more insight and perspective, I might read it differently. I was never interested in Fire Punch and/or Chainshaw Man because at some point I was tired of shonen, but this manga in particular got my attention for some reason. Even if I didn't understand all of the implications, I loved it
Drawing is rough, I created a rough page of my comic and the first responses when I showed someone was when I'd have more pages done and how I could begin selling it
Shit, now I'll be all day thinking why do I draw. Love the video
tell me why I had to find out any this vid via twitter when I'm subbed with notifs on 😭
Hey, good evening
Musashi vs seijuro yoshioka is my most favorite and in my opinion the best written battle in comics, would you please make a video about YOUR favorite battle in anime or manga, kind of like the one you made about skip to loafer in your last video
Fujino's answer to why she draws is an excellent example of "show don't tell" that is sadly absent in a lot of anime from the last 30 years
İ was waiting for this!!!
Hope it meets expectations!
I related to the this story aswell. I related .❤
Have you ever considered a video on Moto Hagio and/or the Year 24 group?
Who put salt in my eyes again...
I AM THE 1000 LIKE , OMG OMG I AM SO HAPPY :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
true !!! ( i havent even watched a minute of the video)
LMAO 😂
1:46 iykyk.
Uuugh I wanna watch the video, but I think I should wait for the movie, or should I read the manga? both will destroy me either way lol
Honestly, I'd say read the manga! It doesn't take long to read it either being a one-shot, but I'd perhaps hold off on watching this video before you do read/watch look back! 😊
Whirlwind if emotions are welcomed in manga/anime but not in real life.
It is considered drama unless it is a celebrity/famous person inna good way.
People or the majority are truly inhuman/group think postive zombies and enjoy drama when it isn't them and entitled lives. Hardships unless you have those who care is a precious thing many take for granted.
Do you have any upcoming projects outside of youtube, or have any ideas or plans to, and I'd love to know what you thought about Goodbye Eri too, it has blown my mind so far apart that I am still trying to piece together my understanding of it?
ooh, just to clarify, or you asking this in general or for me to answer for my q&a video?
the q and a
Stop with the script !
Flipping through the pages of the manga already felt like peeling off my onion skins layer by layer exposing myself !
Not you too LiM !!!
I cried reading the one shot, I cried watching the trailer for the movie and now I'm crying again, finally, that feeling of being understood about how I'm lost on my art journey... I long for a partner to create with omg 🥲 thanks for nice video 🙏
