This has to be one of the most inspiring manga I have ever read, I've already watched the anime 2 times before yet everything still feels fresh and hits the same, there are so many amazing quotes, the characters aren't perfect and that humanizes them so much, yaguchis character is relatable in very aspects no matter how different he is as a person, as a " wanna-be artist" this story inspires me so much yet is also so grounding as it shows how much hard work and passion plays a role, though I do wish I got to see more of yaguchi discovering his love for art and seeing more of his struggles as a beginner artist because getting started is really hard and the art information as helpful as it is can be kind of over whelming, I can go on and on about how inspiring it is I'm so inspired to actually focus on art again this manga gave me hope :)
