Look Back Viewing Record
Up until about the middle of the story, I was thinking, 'The runtime is too short! Let me immerse myself in this world more!' but the ending was so beautiful and satisfying that by the time it finished, I felt so fulfilled that the short runtime didn't even bother me anymore...
I felt a sense of helplessness, but more than that, my heart was sparkling and restless, and I went home with a runny nose.

The depiction of how drawing is a status symbol when you're young, but becomes 'nerdy and uncool' as you get older, is just too realistic.
It was so realistic that I wondered if the author had been told things like that too.
There are probably many people in the world who stopped drawing pictures or manga because they were embarrassed by how others saw them, but I'm sure there are also many who think, 'I wish I had kept going back then.'
That's why Fujino-chan is amazing for being able to work that hard, using her frustration as fuel without worrying about what others think!
Using frustration as fuel to work hard, yet still not reaching her goal and breaking down once, only to pick up the pen again after hearing the words of Kyomoto, her 'fan'.
I loved this flow so much...
The preciousness of having even just one person who boosts your self-esteem.
Kyomoto exploding with fan energy in front of the person she admires,
Kyomoto, who had such a strong accent when I saw her in the movie,
Kyomoto with that sparkling face when she encountered something that made her think, 'This is it!'—she was so cute.
It was a great part of the original work too, but the scenes of the two of them at their desks with their backs to us, without any dialogue, are all wonderful!!
I once saw a trailer in the movie theater that just showed Fujino-chan's back as she sat at her desk drawing manga without any dialogue, and that was really great~.
The scenes in the middle and at the end of the story where the two of them are drawing manga without any dialogue were both so beautiful.
A 'world for just the two of them,' as if it were enough to just be able to draw manga together, as if everything was complete right there.
It was beautiful... I want to keep watching it forever...
