Blurs the idea of real and imagination. Deals with death. Same creator. 

In both of these oneshots the author uses fiction and reality to portray the stories and sometimes blurs the line between, both of these stories are about coping, death and moving on. 

Written by the same author, they are very ‘real’ series with deeper themes and interesting plots with plot twists. Both are quite meta as well. 

both are some of Fujimoto's best one-shots and in both we follow someone who uses art to deal with grief, mixing comedy with drama giving us a bittersweet nostalgic flavor 

Short narratives made by Fujimoto Tatsuki, with deep character writing and both stories about a creator's lives. One being about a mangaka and another being a filmmaker. Having incredible background art with amazing storytelling. 

Fujimoto's other one shot, they're both quick and not so easy reads. Like Sayonara Eri, Look Back goes over the ideas of friendship and regret. Has the drama panels as well and the sad moments that make you regret your own life choices. Highly recommend if you enjoy being sad, Sayonara Eri or the art style of Fujimoto Tatsuki <3 

Fujimoto Post-CSM one shots. 

Not only are these one-shots by the same author, but they both explore concepts such as loss, regret, and the struggles that come with being a creative genius. Personally, I preferred the way Sayonara Eri handled these themes, but if you're a fan of Tatsuki Fujimoto - or thought-provoking slice-of-life in general - it's well worth reading both. 

Both one shots are from Tatsuki Fujimoto. His style, character design, plot development are felt in all his works. Both stories tell us about an authors. In Sayonara Eri it's movie director, in Look Back stoty focuses on manga creators. Also main characters found someone who helps them do their job and they do it together. Finaly, both stories last for years and we can see the development of characters as an authors. 

both are tragic stories focusing on young girls and how they ended up in the shit situations that they ended up in. 

Stories of both manga seem to revolve around emotional experiences and personal journeys, there may not be significant direct similarities between "My Broken Mariko" and "Look Back." Each manga explores its unique set of themes and narratives, showcasing the diversity and creativity within the world of manga storytelling. 

Focuses on two female main characters, their relationship, and grief. Look Back isn't as heavy as MBM, but it's equally hard-hitting. 

The main characters are similar. Both works deal with grief and trauma.  

Girls try to overcome the existence of their childhood best friend who suffers problems, having to deal with their loss later on. They both seem a bit gay due to the girls' way of mourning, I cried a lot at both of them. 

Both are somber and downbeat short stories that can be easily completed in a single day. And both are focused on characters who are young and they have to deal with the harsh realities of life at such a young age.
