Synopsis
After an accident, gifted artist Picasso gains ability to see others' emotional struggles through his drawings and helps heal them.
Hikari "Picasso" Hamura is a talented yet awkward 17-year-old high school artist who prefers the company of his sketchbook to his classmates. His quiet life takes an unexpected turn when a devastating accident changes everything he thought he knew about his world. In the aftermath, Picasso discovers he has been granted an extraordinary gift—one that allows him to perceive the hidden struggles and emotional turmoil of those around him through his art. With his trusted pencil and sketchbook as his tools, he must now use his artistic talents to help others confront their inner demons and personal challenges. As Picasso navigates this new reality, he finds himself diving into the complex world of human emotions, using his unique abilities to bring hope and healing to his peers while learning profound lessons about connection, empathy, and the power of art to transform lives.
