A beautiful drawn manga mixed with a okay story.

Our main character works real hard to achieve what he has. It is refreshing not to see a Genius main character again. But when he begins to express himself with art it opens up a new outlook in life. And while it is interesting to see, the heavy focus on telling us how art works instead of letting it naturally be shown doesn't work for me.

But saying that the art itself is great. Some really stunning shots. I also liked we had a character or is trans (Or so I believe) without making a huge deal of it, just natural storytelling. The dialogue too seems more natural than usual and more modern, using words like "True" and "Facts" Worked well to bring up the high school feel.

But the explanation of art is so heavy is exposition it feels TOO heavy to care about those moments instead of doing it, say like, Dr. Stone.

Still I might grab book 2 if I see it at my library. A 3 out of 5.
