”Even if you’re really good at art, and even if you do it for a long time, or you love it to death… If fighting for it becomes too painful, then it’s okay to walk a different path.”

Still, enjoying this series. But the talk about choosing colors got too flowery. Like, what are you actually saying???

The connection between Yatora and Ryuji/Yuka also grows much deeper here.

I know Yatora’s just that stand up of a guy to not want to abandon a friend who is obviously going through it, but their whole rendezvous and heart to heart was giving romantic vibes. But they subverted that, I guess.

And I want to throw a turkey leg at the author for ending on such a cliffhanger lol. Overall, this volume was much darker, but still as introspective on the life of an art student and/or innerworkings of art creation.
