	Comments:	This is listed as an intransitive verb, but I'm wondering if that's totally correct. In the book I'm reading, it's been repeatedly used seemingly as a transitive verb (ＡはＢを振り返る), and it is used similarly at the reference links...more a sense of "to look back at" rather than just "to look back".
