Synopsis
High school student Haro pursues oil painting of nudes, inspired by a childhood painting, seeking Rei as his model for art college admission.
The manga centers on high school student Haro Ogawa. In his childhood years, he saw a painting known as "Witch in the Nude." Ever since then, he has been teaching himself oil painting, mainly painting women in the nude, always chasing after the painting from his childhood. When he encounters a woman named Rei Kamio, who bears a striking resemblance to the woman depicted in "Witch in the Nude," he asks her to be his painting model. His goal now is to get to an art college with his nude painting. (Source: ANN)
