Aoi Honoo

アオイホノオ

The narrative takes place in the early 1980s, following a young man named HONOO Moyuru who aspires to become a famous comic writer one day. He possesses nothing but his ambition, with no money to his name. Overwhelmed by a sense of his own inadequacy, he purchases some sake, despite being unable to handle alcohol. This story serves as a poignant lament for any spirited art student who charges through life fueled by intense passion.
