Shohei Kireto is a 26-year-old manga artist with aspirations of making a career in this competitive industry. About 1 year ago, he moved to a village in the mountains of Yamaguchi Prefecture in western Japan to live with 6 fellow artists chasing the same dream. Kireto had lived alone before taking this bold step, hoping to give his career a boost. Despite the generous support of local residents, Kireto has frustratingly been unable to make a breakthrough. When a fellow manga artist makes his professional debut and has his work published as a comic book, Kireto's confidence starts to waver. Is it time for Kireto to give up his dream?
