 “… It’s like … I became an adult without actually growing up.”

Yotasuke is still so aggy, socially stunted, but emotionally vulnerable. But I get him in a way. Art isn’t the only thing to him, and it’s annoying for him when people think that he does or wants to talk about. In this volume, we see another side of him, and he *GASP* makes a friend.

Because this manga loves to be so deep it can’t sleep, Yatora (read: we ask) asks do you have to love art to do it? If you just have a natural talent for art, is that enough? If you love art, should it be your career? All probing questions most artists have asked themselves.

Still, enjoying this series! This volume was very emotional. The majority of the art professors still make me want to fight them. They come off as so rude and pretentious all the time. But Yatora be eating it up, so who I am to stand in the way?
