Winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. Popular guy Yatora realizes he's just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion- painting. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling... Yatora's back on campus for year two and suprises abound. He's greeted by an old friend and then gets bombarded with new friends, instructors, and assignments! But one day, when Yatora encounters an artists' commune, he begins to question if TUA is really the right place for him...
