Synopsis
Art student Riro meets Jou, whose drawings reveal the hidden truth of his subjects' souls.
Art equals expression, an expression creating an outer form, expressing joy, sorrow, and the darkness of the soul. Yutou Riro is a student at an art college, but she believes she lacks the talent to truly succeed as an artist. Entering her life through a series of coincidences is Karaba Jou. To Riro's astonishment, Jou has an exceptional ability to draw the "real" self of the people/object he draws. His artwork draws attention to the finest details of his subject, bringing to light the truth behind each individual. (Source: MangaHelpers)
