LADIES AND GENTLEMAN AND NON BINARY PEOPLE, MY 50TH THEATER EXPERIENCE.
i loved that i was even able to see it in theaters.
Its a must watch.
I have not much to say that i didn't already say in my original review.
As someone who has been drawing since they were like 6, this is awesome sauce.
Look Back
Manga drew them together. Life made them best friends.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender, visually luminous story about two girls discovering that creative passion and deep friendship can bridge even the widest social divides. What begins as artistic rivalry becomes something far more meaningful, a meditation on what it means to truly see and understand another person.

Reviews
Its incredible.
So dissapointed that major theaters near me didn't show it.
Only one showing in a small theater and that was sold out.
Anyway the film is compelling because as someone who spend hours upon hours drawing this hits very close to home.
Am i a major manga artist?
No but its still genuinely impressive how someones view on art is shown threw 2 character and 58 minutes.
