Plot:

Review:
The story is really sweet, cute and heart-warming. It revolves around two people who fall in love at first sight. It conveys there interaction in a really interesting way as they express it throught painting, not words. This shows that they have an understanding of how they both work. Their passion for art is what brings them both together. Each chapter has a title is a metaphor and many other metaphors are used in the manga. The only bad thing about this is how the quickly they fall in love and the cliffhanger ending. Overall, the art is kawaii and the story is a bit fast paced but I couldn't imagine the mangaka dragging this out any longer.
