In the fourth volume of this art-focused manga series, high school student Yatora Yaguchi faces his most daunting challenge yet. Having abandoned his comfortable, predictable life to pursue fine art, Yatora has spent months mastering new mediums and techniques at a rigorous prep school. Now, with only one week remaining before the highly competitive entrance exams for the Tokyo University of the Arts, the pressure reaches a fever pitch. When his instructor, Ooba-sensei, delivers the harsh critique that his paintings lack a necessary, unique edge, Yatora is plunged into intense self-doubt. To survive the upcoming first round of exams, he must look deep within himself to move past technical perfection and find his authentic creative voice.
