On 1 September, the Agency for Cultural Affairs announced a school campaign linked to Look Back. Its notice listed 11 September 2026 as the planned film release date; this explainer does not independently confirm the release.
The campaign proposed posters for elementary, junior-high and high schools. The story follows two people connected through drawing manga.
The educational focus is creativity, expression and connection. This is not a recommendation that every age group should watch the film; teachers should check suitability separately.
