Awarded the Grand Prize at the Manga Taisho 2020! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art.
Yatora, a popular young man, realizes that he is merely going through life to please others and finds a new passion: painting. But breaking free from all previous expectations is dangerous yet exhilarating...
He studies hard and gets good grades, while having fun with his friends, going to parties, and watching soccer. He checks all the boxes to be the perfect student. But everything starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder which part of his life expresses who he is... or if he has a unique voice.
One day, he wanders into the art room, and a unique painting catches his attention, awakening him to a form of beauty he never knew. Driven and consumed, he dives headfirst - and is ready to learn how tough, abhorrent, and exhilarating creating art can be!
Now it has become a hit anime!
