Warning: Spoilers
In a world that is centered with money and power, Yatora hears his life's calling; the Art.

This is an anime about the creators who work behind the scenes of anime, backgrounds, Art galleries and the masterpieces that all we lookup to; the Artists! Yes, some art students might find this particular anime "Not that great..." as some in the internet says so, But for a person who's into art or a guy who doesn't understand a letter about the Art, This is a Piece of work that enlightens them about the story behind the acrylic and canvas!

Every parent's desire is that their child doesn't end up poor or with a low income. So, they tend to push their children into more earning STEM and Commerce fields. But in doing so, they might put their children into a world of pressure or kill their unique-priceless ideas and passion. Yatora's parent's were the same So, he played a delinquent role outside and crammed everything into his brain at home to stay on top of his class and ease their parent's minds. When he found himself liking Art, the inevitable question came from his parents... "How do you going to make a living with Art?" Confronting your ego, family and skills is no easy task... The character writing and the development is huge in this series. Each have unique skills, backgrounds and their own problems. Some makes it over them while others do not. And this highlights the hardships of the education system and the fine art field's intense competition to be selected into a college.

That's not all! Even if you chose to do what you love, it's doesn't mean that it's always fun and games... Yatora's story gives us that message too! As we sometimes talk about people like that when they do what they love. So, this anime tells us that there's more than what meets the eye or ear!

This show is highly relatable to anyone who has experienced high school. We as an audience feels Yatora's feelings when he goes through Challenges, hardships, achievements and social life.

The Music and the background sounds are unique, especially the ending "Replica" by mol- 74. I can say it really hits hard at the end of each episode As, the ending animation presents us with a sketched montage.

As for the animation of the story, I'd say it's unique rather than saying it's a bit sloppy because it has some amazing animated scenes such as the ocean waves at the winter. I've never seen such animation before in any anime.

So all in all, the storytelling is the main stronghold of this anime. Together with Animation and good music, it creates a beautiful tale that anyone who loves, want's to love art!
