Because of the cost of his final project for his first year at art school, Yatora finds he needs to find a job to build his bank account back up again. So, he takes a job teaching art to kids at a community center. Once again, Yamaguchi does such an excellent job of exploring the creation of art, especially when you're a kid who's kind of seen as a prodigy. Does forcing kids to create "good" art at a young age mean they're going to be turned away from it as they get older? Does it affect their love for creating it in the first place? All interesting things to think about when it comes to any sort of creative thing.
In general, it feels like these later volumes are a bit more slower moving, but they really do make you think about art and being creative (in a form that is art, basically). Still very much enjoying them!
