"...is kinda nice isn't it? Shibuya in the early morning..."

Just before dawn and in the last hour of the night, Yatora tries to put into words how the beauty of the city makes him feel ... only to be teased by his friend. But the feeling stays in memory and unfurls itself in his painting in the art class. Guided by his art teacher and seniors, Yatura learns about what it means to practice art seriously, practice over talent, techniques, exercises, opportunities, and most importantly, expressing himself.
