    Synopsis:

    Yatora Yaguchi, a seemingly ordinary high school student, grapples with a pervasive sense of emptiness despite academic success and comfortable social connections. His routine existence is disrupted when an unexpectedly powerful visual experience sparks an undeniable urge to paint. This newfound passion propels him towards the rigorous and selective Tokyo University of the Arts, where he encounters intense competition and self-doubt.

    The series explores Yatora's journey as he navigates the demanding world of fine arts, confronting his own limitations while attempting to earn acceptance from both his peers and family. It depicts a thoughtful exploration of artistic expression, personal identity, and the challenges of pursuing an unconventional path, contrasting youthful aspirations with the weight of expectation. The narrative emphasizes the process of learning and self-discovery within a highly specialized environment.
