Synopsis
Shinji has loved drawing since he first picked up a crayon, dreaming of becoming a manga artist. At school, the only person who shares his passion is Masaru, whose distinctive style depicts the people he cares about as luchador wrestlers. As time goes on, Shinji steadily hones his craft, but Masaru stays loyal to his childhood way of creating art. After moving to Tokyo to pursue his dream, Shinji discovers that the manga industry is cutthroat and extremely hard to break into. Growing more disillusioned by the day, Shinji may need his old friend to remind him that art holds value beyond just making money.
