Synopsis:

The narrative centers around the artistic pursuits – or lack thereof – within a high school art club. Mizuki Usami finds herself consistently striving to maintain a semblance of productive activity amidst a group of unconventional classmates. She navigates challenges stemming from a disengaged club president and a perpetually distracted member, all while grappling with an unexpected affection for Subaru Uchimaki, a talented artist consumed by his own unique artistic vision: perfecting the ideal representation of a wife in two dimensions. The series explores themes of dedication versus apathy, the complexities of creative collaboration, and the often-chaotic landscape of adolescent affections within an academic setting. It offers a character-driven look at the everyday struggles and subtle joys found within a niche community, grounded in relatable interpersonal dynamics and artistic aspirations.
