This volume finds Yatora debating whether or not he wants to leave school. He's found an artist's commune where they don't have to make art to be good or great, or just to make art. There are a lot of discussions in this particular volume about who has the privilege to make art, and why it is that way. Great discussions all around!

I love the points that this volume makes about the fact that you don't have to go to school necessarily to be good at art. Because art school is expensive, and you can learn just as much on your own. Definitely interested in seeing what path Yatora takes next.
