And that solves the mystery of Hiroki not wanting to paint again...

Those things that happened to him, they do hurt pretty bad...
I can perfectly understand his reason...

First time that i'm actually looking forward to the next ep...

Hmm.. I was kind of hoping for a more heart-warming reason as to why he quit painting. I mean, it's quite sad that his friend did that to him over a girl (who is nothing special, by the way), but I was hoping for something like the reason why Elis doesn't use red.

Agreed, it feels like a bit of a weak reason, but what can ya do. Was hoping for something "larger" than a friend stealing a painting idea

That was some very solid backstory. The drama in this series is surprisingly believable for its source material.

That 'Yanagi stealing my painting' is not the reason why Hiroki stopped painting. It's just his excuse to run away from reality.

The real reason why he quit painting is because he was frustrated. Eventhough he'd sworn to himself that he will show other people that he's much better than Yanagi by trying to win the next award for the Rookie Art Expo competition, he failed miserably. It is shown that someone else win the award. Thus he quitted painting & trying to shift the blame to Yanagi for his failures.

Actually Hiroki CAN make a complaint that Yanagi stole his art composition. But he didn't. Hiroki is just too obssessed with trying to beat Yanagi that he forgot about the joy of painting.

^ This.

Although, I found it to be a bit weak too. All of these damn characters with their damn problems just need to get the fuck over it and grow up.

I really really hope something bad happens to Yanagi.. Because I fear that Yanagi might try to pull something with Kiri and I don't want that to happen...

Also, what Multi said.

Yanagi stole his work. I get why he wouldn't want to draw again.

though I can understand the reasoning, it's still laughable. couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"take" the girl? I'll steal your art, possible education and future career.

as a result, dude becomes a hikikomori?


Yanagi is a joke lol.

It's getting better and better.
Maybe it's only me, because I just love VN adaptations, but I really like this anime.
Dub = fake crap. Always.
