Summary
Hagumi Hanamoto is an eighteen-year-old artist from Azumino city, Nagano-ken, who possesses a supreme gift for all mediums of art. Standing at just 142 cm with a slender build, she retains the appearance of a child and adopts a demeanor that reflects this youthful look. Her immense talent is widely esteemed, attracting the attention of numerous professional artists who urge her to submit her work to exhibitions to boost her publicity, a prospect she finds daunting. Raised in a sheltered and obscure home by her irritable grandmother, Hagumi’s sociability is below average. Her only pastime is drawing and painting, skills she developed within that isolated household where she had little to sketch save for the unchanging view from her porch, which varied only with the seasons.
