Fujimoto, who has created manga such as "Yan Fist" and "Chainsaw Man", has always been known for his whimsical brain holes. Reader fans also half-jokingly teased him as "Fujimoto, my neurotic.". Today, his short story "LookBack" is freely available on JUMP+.
However, many readers were surprised when they were ready to read it, because this so-called "short story" was actually 143 pages long. The short story tells the story of two young girls who love comics and what they have experienced on the road to manga creation.
In addition to the ideas that amaze the reader, this short story also hides a lot of Easter egg content. Some of them are related to Fujimoto's own works, such as scenes from "Yan Fist" and "Chainsaw Man", as well as Fujimoto's editor-in-charge, Lin Shiping.
At the same time, there are also some contents that Fujimoto himself is interested in, such as the poster of "Once Upon a Time, There Was a Hollywood".
Of course, the most obvious is the surname of the two heroines, after all, Fujino + Kyomoto, each taking a word together is Fujimoto. (The number of Easter eggs is very large, and many netizens have sorted them out, which is not listed here.) ）
In addition, another point has attracted the attention of many readers, that is, the Kyo Ani arson case has passed exactly 2 years since yesterday. In Fujimoto's short story this time, there is also a plot like Aoba in the case, committing a crime in the name of his own work being copied. In this regard, some readers have suggested that Fujimoto's short story is also a eulogy dedicated to Kyo Ani in a sense.
However, what is even more shocking to everyone is that Fujimoto's short story this time has aroused great repercussions not only among readers, but also in the relevant industries in Japan. Countless cartoonists, directors, voice actors and related workers have received great praise for this short story: "Black Reef" author Reiwei Hiroe called it a "masterpiece of soul-suppressing poetry"; manga artist Ichigo Asano lamented that he "didn't know what to say except because of his strength"; "Flower Card Love" Author Yuki was shocked by the obsession with this short story and strengthened his belief in continuing to draw; director Shinichiro Ueda said that he cried from the bottom of his heart...
"Don't shoot at the image research!" The author of "Ohto Sumiya" even sent several tweets in a row to sigh: Fujimoto Tree and Itagaki Baru, who are also in the 93rd group, are monster-level, with monster-like physical strength, inspiration and painting speed. Compared with them, the slow-moving and lacking physical strength and inspiration of myself is simply a battle between ordinary people and monsters.
