Synopsis
Wakaba abandons painting after meeting Kouta; years later, both struggle with unspoken feelings and artistic blocks at Ueda Gallery.
Wakaba Oda was a university student in art school when he first saw his artwork. "Kouta's paintings have the power to make you long for them." Wakaba's admiration and shock jolted him strong enough for him to switch from being a painter, which he so dearly loved, to a graphic designer, which was still fulfilling and practical. Years pass, and Kouta, Wakaba, and Kouta's twin brother Souta work together at the Ueda Gallery, the twins' family business. The three make a great team, but only Souta can reel the two back when they get too lost within themselves, but he too may have his heart in the game... Perhaps it's the artists inside them, but Kouta and Wakaba can never be as straightforward and honest with themselves with their words as they can with their paintings. So what are they trying to say when one has decided he won't pick up a brush again and the other finds himself in an artist's rut? (Source: Fantasista Inc.)
