Synopsis
A boy's artistic obsession leads to confronting his shadow self in a creative journey.
The young boy "I" becomes swallowed up by the pleasure of drawing and completing a painting, embarking on a long creative journey. Along the way, he must confront "you" who lies in the shadows. What is the true nature of "I," that weaves between impulse and imagination? (Source: Shogakukan, translated)
