And for anyone wanting to dip their toe into art, this manga is informative and motivational in its own way. There were a few places where the information about art and techniques felt a little heavy-handed, but it was by far outweighed by the beautiful art style, story and overall message of the manga. I absolutely loved the art teacher, who was incredibly supportive which makes all the difference when embracing a passion like this It also never superseded the story itself, the two working perfectly hand in hand, alongside the characters to create a rich, well-balanced manga.Īside from Yatora who really grew on me as a character, there was a fantastic cast of characters, all of whom were unique and distinct in their own ways. The drive and feeling are there, and I feel that there is a lot to be taken from Yatora’s story, and this is only the first volume!įittingly for a manga about art, the artwork in this book is beautiful in and of itself and is paired with real artwork contributed by other artists, again adding that extra layer of realism and lifting the manga to the next level. That felt so real and made it so easy to emphasize with his efforts, and it made for an inspiring story, especially for anyone currently caught in a dip or rut, or who is testing out a new passion. The power in this manga is that he goes from someone who was almost effortlessly doing well, to one who had found the thing he wanted to do best in and having to work in it, and I truly appreciated how it was a journey and a struggle, with failings as well as successes, and that he had to work for his passion. In the beginning, it took a little to warm to Yatora, because he was kind of disconnected from everything happening around him, drifting through life, doing well but with no real passion for anything, and then he found art, and he really came alive, both to me as the reader and in his world and that was fantastic to see. I liked the premise for this one from the start, but the actual story itself blew me away in the best way, in part because I could really feel for Yatora that moment he found his ‘passion’ because I have felt that way about writing before. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst–and he’s about to learn how savage and unforgiving art can be… But he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. It’s an effortless performance, and, ultimately… a dull one. Yatora is the perfect high school student, with good grades and lots of friends. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling… Popular guy Yatora realizes he’s just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion: painting.
