The emotions in this volume… I cried over a 2 page spread! I felt fury and insecurity, and all those frightening emotions you feel when you are young and only just starting your art journey.

4.0

This volume is really good, Yatora, the protagonist is dealing with developing his artistic skill and influences while under the grind of art prep school. Some supporting characters help bring about some specific social pressures and prejudices that causes some very pointed tension in the story. I’m giving this volume a 4 because it’s really good yet there’s no specific high point, there’s a variety of thought provoking character and story beats. The series overall is excellent.

Moderate: Biphobia, Bullying, Emotional abuse, Self harm, Sexism, Suicidal thoughts, Transphobia, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, and Alcohol

The alcohol is irresponsible secret teen drinking. There’s multiple levels of toxic friendships, both with the protagonist’s old friends and art prep school friends. It’s gaslighting and bullying. The suicidal thoughts and emotional abuse come from the art prep side of the plot. So does the biphobia/transphobia/sexism side of the narrative in this volume.
